The Daniel Defense DD5 V3 is a California-compliant semiautomatic rifle in 7.62x51mm NATO, built for shooters who need a modern, modular platform that plays by state rules without cutting corners on performance. This 16-inch rifle delivers the accuracy and reliability DD is known for, configured to meet CA magazine and featureset requirements while maintaining the core engineering that makes the DD5 a favorite among precision shooters and tactical competitors.
Daniel Defense engineered the DD5 V3 around a cold-hammer-forged barrel paired with a robust gas piston system, so you get consistent performance shot after shot without fighting the complexity of direct-impingement in a .308-class rifle. The 6-position stock with SoftTouch overmolding gives you cheek weld adjustment and a comfortable shouldering experience, whether you're at the range or in the field. Hard coat anodized finish and black phosphate components handle hard use—this rifle is built to be maintained and relied upon.
The 10+1 magazine capacity reflects CA compliance, and the black polymer grip is textured for positive control. The DD5 V3 accepts standard SR25-pattern magazines and plays well with the AR-308 accessory ecosystem, so you can tailor it to your mission. This is a rifle for the operator or hunter who respects the law and refuses to compromise on precision or handling.
