Daniel Defense DD5 V4 .308 Win/7.62 NATO Semi-Auto AR-10 Rifle - 18" Barrel, 20-Round Mag, 02-158-13210-047

The Daniel Defense DD5 V4 is a semi-automatic AR-10 platform rifle built for shooters who demand precision and reliability at distance. Chambered in .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO, this rifle delivers the accuracy and power needed for long-range hunting, tactical shooting, and serious range work. With an 18-inch cold hammer forged barrel, adjustable gas block, and Daniel Defense's proven engineering, the DD5 V4 is a rifle that works whether you're running it suppressed or unsuppressed, in competition or in the field.

Daniel Defense engineered the DD5 V4 around consistency and durability. The proprietary cold hammer forged barrel is chrome-lined for longevity and accuracy, while the superfinished, DLC-coated bolt carrier group cycles reliably and cleans easily—crucial when you're pushing rounds downrange in all conditions. The adjustable gas block lets you dial in the perfect gas port for your ammunition and suppressor setup, eliminating over-gassing and reducing felt recoil. The bolt carrier itself includes a buffer for optimized cycling, so you get smooth, predictable performance shot after shot.

The rifle's foundation is solid: a 4-bolt connection system for added accuracy, a DD mil-spec trigger, and the GRIP-N-RIP ambidextrous charging handle with anti-gas features. The M-LOK free-floating rail system gives you the modularity you need to build your setup. The DD5 V4 accepts standard SR-25 magazines, so you're not locked into proprietary parts. At 8.6 pounds unloaded with a 20-round magazine included, it's manageable without sacrificing the barrel stiffness you need for precision.

This is a rifle for hunters and shooters who understand that barrel life and accuracy matter, and who want a platform that handles suppressed shooting as well as it does unsuppressed. If you're serious about .308 NATO territory—whether for hunting, distance shooting, or tactical applications—the DD5 V4 delivers.
