Daniel Defense DD5 V4 Rifle, 7.62 NATO, 18″ Barrel, No Magazine

Product Description

The Daniel Defense DD5 V4 Rifle, part number 02-158-13210-067, is a semi-automatic 7.62 NATO rifle with an 18″ barrel on the Daniel Defense DD5 platform, supplied without a magazine.

Daniel Defense gives this build its own part number because magazine capacity is restricted in a number of states and localities: the rifle is supplied with no magazine and a compliant one is added where it is delivered. If capacity is not restricted where you are, order the standard DD5 V4 18″ configuration instead. DD5 barrels are cold hammer forged from Daniel Defense proprietary steel, and the platform uses the 4-Bolt Connection System that attaches the handguard to the receiver without a barrel nut.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does this DD5 V4 come without a magazine?

A: Because magazine capacity is restricted in a number of states and localities. Daniel Defense builds a dedicated no-magazine part number so the rifle can be shipped into those areas, with a magazine at a locally permitted capacity supplied by the dealer completing the transfer.

Q: Is the rifle any different from the standard DD5 V4?

A: No. It is the same 18″ 7.62 NATO rifle built to the same specification on the DD5 platform. The only difference between the two part numbers is that no magazine is supplied with this one, which is why the standard listing suits most buyers.

Q: What magazine does it take?

A: Call 817-393-4000 and we will confirm the magazine pattern for this part number before you buy, rather than have you order something that does not fit. You will also need to confirm what capacity your own jurisdiction currently allows, as those rules vary and change.

Q: How does the V4 differ from the V3 and V5?

A: Barrel length is the headline difference across the DD5 line. This V4 is the 18″ build, the V3 is offered at 16″ and the V5 at 20″. Longer barrels favour velocity and steadiness; shorter ones handle better. Call 817-393-4000 to talk it through.

Q: What is the 4-Bolt Connection System?

A: It is how Daniel Defense secures the handguard to the receiver across the DD5 platform, without a barrel nut, increasing the surface area of that connection for greater rigidity and stability. It is a structural feature of the platform rather than an option on this SKU.

Q: Does it need to go through an FFL?

A: Yes. Every rifle, including this one, must be transferred through a licensed FFL. Western Sport is a licensed FFL/SOT dealer in Roanoke, Texas, so you can complete the transfer with us or we can ship to your dealer. Call 817-393-4000.
