Daniel Defense DD5 V4 7.62 NATO 18" CO Compliant Rifle Black

The Daniel Defense DD5 V4 delivers precision and reliability in a Colorado-compliant configuration chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. This 18-inch barrel rifle combines Daniel Defense's proven manufacturing quality with features designed for accuracy and versatility across multiple shooting disciplines.

What Makes This Different

Built on Daniel Defense's proprietary upper and lower receiver set, the DD5 V4 incorporates a cold hammer-forged barrel with a government profile for enhanced heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions. The rifle features a pinned and welded muzzle device to achieve the required 16-inch minimum barrel length while maintaining the ballistic advantages of an 18-inch barrel. Daniel Defense's four-bolt connection system between the upper and lower receivers provides exceptional rigidity compared to standard AR-platform rifles.

Key Features

• 18-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:10 twist rate optimized for 7.62x51mm NATO
• Daniel Defense MFR XS M-LOK handguard with continuous top rail
• Ambidextrous safety selector and magazine release controls
• 6-position collapsible stock with SoftTouch overmolding for enhanced grip
• Black hard coat anodized receivers with black phosphate barrel finish
• Daniel Defense A2 flash hider pinned and welded for Colorado compliance
• No magazine included to meet state regulations

The DD5 V4's longer barrel length provides increased muzzle velocity and improved accuracy potential for precision shooting applications. The rifle's gas system operates reliably with both military surplus and match-grade ammunition. Weather-resistant finishes and corrosion-resistant materials ensure consistent performance in adverse conditions, while the free-floating handguard maintains barrel harmonics for repeatable accuracy.
