This Daniel Defense DD5 V3 rifle in 7.62x51mm NATO is built to a California-compliant configuration (brand part no. 0215707258055), pairing Daniel Defense’s semi-automatic DD5 platform with a fixed 10-round Magpul PMAG and a magazine-lock design that meets California law. Daniel Defense cuts the 16-inch barrel to a 1:11 twist and threads it 5/8×24 under a black phosphate finish, running a user-adjustable gas block for a consistent feel whether shooting suppressed or unsuppressed. The perfected bolt carrier group reduces recoil impulse and stays easy to maintain, while an innovative 4-Bolt Connection System increases the connection surface area between barrel and upper receiver for greater rigidity and accuracy. Upgraded ambidextrous controls cover the bolt catch, magazine release, and safety selector, and the rifle accepts all SR-25-pattern magazines. Among AR rifles, this California-compliant DD5 V3 configuration favors California shooters who want long-range 7.62 precision in a legal configuration.
