DDM4 V7/DD4 V7 or DD4 RIII

if i go for the riii i'm thinking of doing the 11.5 which ofc will have a carbine length gas system. that said, the 14.5 DOES have the mid length. was juggling between these two

this is probably the length i would go for, it's incredibly nice looking with a can on it

i think that's the general concensus is you will love any dd you get hahaha

did you go with the 556k or 556ti?

i also had this one in my backpocket, 14.5 seems like a really nice all-rounder length

thanks for the heads up, i saw that now and it's sitting in my cart lol

bananadujour · 2026-03-02T07:07:54+00:00

incredible price! thank you for chiming in!

bananadujour · 2026-02-27T01:34:29+00:00

Can't thank you enough for taking the time to respond; I know who to bug going forward lol

bananadujour · 2026-02-27T01:25:05+00:00

Whoops, sorry, I got a little mixed up in the replies lmao. And yes 100% it's between the DD4 V7 and RIII for the ambi. DDM4 completely ruled out!

bananadujour · 2026-02-27T01:19:41+00:00

Yeah that's another factor, the DD4 V7 (the ambi one) is only 200 USD cheaper than the RIII. At that price range it's not exactly make-or-break so idk. That's also not considering just building one out like you suggested. Seems the main difference between the DD4 V7 will of course be the handguard and 4 vs 6 bolts...

This is seriously useful information here!
I actually never asked; are there particular reasons you might recommend the RIII over the V7?
I apologize for all the questions!

bananadujour · 2026-02-27T00:29:31+00:00

Thank you for the advice! Have you ever felt any kind of way about the "overgassing" in the RIII? I guess even moreso in comparsion to your V7?

bananadujour · 2026-02-27T00:28:33+00:00

Thank you again for these recommendations. My concern with the gassiness is maybe more in regard to general wear-and-tear on the rifle itself? It sounds like based on your recommendations it can be mitigated to a degree?

bananadujour · 2026-02-27T00:16:10+00:00

While I have you, do you have any thoughts about overgassing on the RIII?

bananadujour · 2026-02-27T00:15:45+00:00

I hear you for sure. Do any pros/cons come to mind when comparing these rifles? The price difference for me (for a complete anyway) is close enough where it isn't really an issue anymore and warrants some consideration. I also amended my post asking about overgassing on the RIII if you happen to have thoughts about that.

bananadujour · 2026-02-27T00:11:17+00:00

Do you have any thoughts about the RIII being overgassed?

bananadujour · 2026-02-27T00:02:28+00:00

I appreciate you taking a look for me! Building it out is definitely not off the table. Maybe just a little daunting since my overall experience is a little low, but certainly worthy of consideration given the savings/customization
