The Daniel Defense DD5 V3 CA Compliant delivers precision .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO performance in a platform engineered for California's regulatory requirements. This semi-automatic rifle combines Daniel Defense's proven manufacturing standards with features that maintain compliance without sacrificing operational capability.

What Makes This Different

Built on Daniel Defense's proprietary DD5 platform, this rifle features a cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:10 twist rate optimized for both military surplus and premium hunting ammunition. The upper and lower receivers are precision-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with Type III hard coat anodizing for corrosion resistance. Unlike standard AR-10 platforms, the DD5 system uses a unique bolt extension and barrel extension interface that enhances accuracy and reliability.

Field performance centers on the rifle's ability to maintain sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition while cycling reliably with military specification rounds.
