The Daniel Defense DD5 V3 delivers precision and reliability in a Colorado-compliant configuration chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. This semi-automatic rifle combines Daniel Defense's proven manufacturing standards with features specifically designed for restricted-capacity markets. Built on the company's robust platform, it provides shooters with a dependable option for hunting, competition, and precision shooting applications.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard AR-10 pattern rifles, the DD5 V3 incorporates Daniel Defense's proprietary upper and lower receiver design with enhanced rigidity and improved tolerances. The 16-inch cold hammer-forged barrel features a government profile with a 1:10 twist rate optimized for 7.62 NATO ammunition. The hard coat anodized finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard mil-spec coatings, while the black phosphate bolt carrier group ensures consistent cycling and extended service life.

Field performance demonstrates the DD5 V3's capability across multiple shooting disciplines. The cold hammer-forged barrel maintains sub-MOA accuracy potential with quality ammunition, while the gas system provides reliable cycling with both 147-grain military surplus and 175-grain match loads. Weather testing shows consistent function in temperatures from -20°F to 140°F, with the hard coat anodized finish resisting wear from extended field use.
