The Daniel Defense DD5 V4 is an 18-inch AR-10 pattern rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm. It has a rifle-length gas system and a cold hammer-forged barrel.
Daniel Defense builds its rifles in Black Creek, Georgia, and it's known for cold hammer-forged barrels and well-finished AR-pattern rifles. The DD5 is Daniel Defense's AR-10 pattern platform. It uses the company's 4-Bolt Connection System to join the barrel and upper for improved accuracy, along with an ambidextrous bolt catch, safety and GRIP-N-RIP charging handle. The bolt carrier group is superfinished and DLC coated, and a flared magazine well speeds reloads.
The DD5 V4 is the 18-inch version. It's chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, which also handles .308 Winchester, and it runs on a rifle-length direct impingement gas system with a user-adjustable gas block. The longer barrel and gas system make it a good fit for longer-range shooting.
The barrel is cold hammer forged from Daniel Defense's proprietary steel and chrome lined, in the S2W heavy profile, with a heavy phosphate finish. It wears the Superior Suppression Device muzzle brake.
The handguard is the DD5 Rail 15.0 with M-LOK attachment, and the receivers are hard coat anodized aluminum. The buttstock is Daniel Defense's glass-filled polymer design with soft-touch overmolding, and the trigger is mil-spec. The GRIP-N-RIP charging handle is ambidextrous and designed to keep gas away from your face.
It measures 35.4 to 39 inches long with the muzzle device and weighs 8.6 pounds. It takes SR-25 pattern magazines, and Daniel Defense includes a 20-round Magpul PMAG and a hard case.
If you want a 7.62mm AR-10 with a little more barrel for reach, and the build quality Daniel Defense is known for, the DD5 V4 is the one to pick.
