The Daniel Defense DD5 V4 is a purpose-engineered 7.62x51mm NATO rifle, designed to deliver consistent performance and precision for discerning operators. This AR platform integrates advanced manufacturing processes with practical utility, making it suitable for competitive engagements, hunting applications, or rigorous training scenarios.
Key Features
Precision Engineering
The integral adjustable gas block allows for precise tuning of the operating system, optimizing cyclic rate and mitigating recoil impulse with or without a sound suppressor. The Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coated bolt carrier group significantly reduces operational friction, ensuring consistent cycling and extended component life. This coating also facilitates field maintenance across diverse environmental conditions. A robust 4-bolt connection system mechanically links the cold hammer forged barrel to the upper receiver. This design significantly enhances structural rigidity, contributing directly to repeatable accuracy and sustained precision.
Operational Enhancements
The GRIP-N-RIP ambidextrous charging handle integrates anti-gas porting technology, strategically redirecting propellant gases away from the operator’s face. This mitigates gas blowback, enhancing shooter comfort during high-volume firing sequences. An enhanced, flared magazine well geometry facilitates rapid and consistent magazine insertions, optimizing reload efficiency under dynamic operational conditions. The integrated Daniel Defense DD5 Rail 15.0 provides a secure and expansive interface for the direct attachment of optical systems, tactical illumination devices, and other mission-essential accessories, ensuring modularity for varied operational requirements.
Compliance & Magazine Compatibility
This specific DD5 V4 variant is configured to adhere to California compliance regulations. Its design incorporates a mechanism that precludes magazine release engagement while the upper and lower receivers are fully assembled. Magazine extraction necessitates the separation of the receiver halves via an extended rear takedown pin, which features an integrated cord for expedited manipulation. This configuration ensures functional adherence to state-specific operational guidelines. The rifle is designed to accept all standard SR-25 pattern magazines.
