Daniel Defense DD5 V3 7.62 x 51mm 20rd Magazine 16″ Barrel Black

What Makes the DD5 V3 Special?

• Innovative 4-Bolt Connection System

  • Dramatically increases the connection surface area between the barrel and upper receiver, resulting in greater rigidity and stability. This enhances accuracy to a level typically associated with high-end bolt-action rifles.

• Cold Hammer Forged Barrel

  • 16″ proprietary steel, chrome-lined barrel delivers exceptional durability, accuracy, and a long service life. The S2W (Strength-to-Weight) profile balances weight and performance.

• User-Adjustable Gas Block

  • Allows shooters to fine-tune the rifle for suppressed or unsuppressed use, providing reliable cycling and reducing recoil and gas blowback. This is especially valuable for those who frequently use suppressors.

• Superfinished, DLC-Coated Bolt Carrier Group

  • Designed for smooth operation, easy maintenance, and reduced recoil impulse. The bolt features enhanced extractor geometry and dual ejectors for reliable cycling in all conditions.

• Fully Ambidextrous Controls

  • Includes ambidextrous bolt catch, magazine release, safety selector, and charging handle, offering maximum flexibility and comfort for both left- and right-handed shooters.

• Free-Floating M-LOK Rail System

  • 15″ monolithic handguard provides ample space for accessories and optics, while free-floating design ensures the barrel isn’t affected by external forces, preserving accuracy.

• Superior Suppression Device

  • Reduces muzzle flash and muzzle rise, improving shooter control and follow-up shot speed.

• Enhanced Ergonomics and Build Quality

  • Features such as an enhanced flared magazine well, ergonomic pistol grip, and buttstock with nonslip cheek weld and interchangeable pads contribute to comfort and rapid reloads.

• Battle-Proven Durability

  • Both receivers are CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with Type III hard coat anodizing for extreme durability and longevity.

• Versatility

  • Accepts standard SR-25/AR-10 magazines and is suitable for competition, hunting, tactical, and defensive use.

• Made in the USA

  • Manufactured to high standards of quality and reliability.
