Daniel Defense Adds 5 New Rifles to DD5 Line
Georgia-based Daniel Defense continues to grow their DD5 series AR line with new rifles chambered in .260 Rem, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Win. Designed for increased accuracy and reliability, the DD5 series features a cold hammer-forged chrome-line barrel with a two-position gas block that is adjustable for shooting with or without a suppressor.
The new guns also come standard with upgraded ambidextrous controls — bolt catch, magazine release, safety selector — as well as improved furniture and a redesigned charging handle with anti-gas features. All utilize an M-LOK free-floating rail system and accepts SR-25 magazines. For reliability, they feature a super finished and DLC-coated bolt carrier group with a buffer.
The five new rifles added to the series include a DD5V3 with a 16-inch barrel in .308, the DD5V4 with an 18-inch barrel in 6.5CM and .308, and the 20-inch barreled DD5V5 in 6.5CM and .260.
