Daniel Defense DD5 V5 Rifle, 6.5 Creedmoor, 20″ Barrel, Mil-Spec+, No Magazine

Product Description

The Daniel Defense DD5 V5 Rifle in Mil-Spec+, part number 02-165-81690-067, is a semi-automatic 6.5 Creedmoor rifle with a 20″ barrel on the Daniel Defense DD5 platform, supplied without a magazine.

Daniel Defense builds this configuration for states and localities that restrict magazine capacity: the rifle arrives with no magazine and a compliant one is supplied where it is delivered. Anyone not working around a capacity limit should order the standard Mil-Spec+ DD5 V5 instead. DD5 barrels are cold hammer forged from Daniel Defense proprietary steel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Mil-Spec+ option on the DD5 V5?

A: A Daniel Defense finish choice rather than a change to the rifle. Chambering, the 20″ barrel and the DD5 platform are the same as the standard-finish V5, so pick between them on appearance rather than expecting different performance.

Q: Why would I want a rifle with no magazine?

A: You would if magazine capacity is capped where you live. Daniel Defense builds this part number without a magazine so the rifle can be shipped in, and a magazine at a locally permitted capacity is supplied by the dealer handling delivery.

Q: Is the 20″ V5 the longest barrel in the DD5 line?

A: Of the DD5 builds we stock, yes: the V5 uses a 20″ barrel, the V4 an 18″ and the V3 a 16″. Longer barrels favour velocity and stability on precision work at the cost of handling. Call 817-393-4000 to compare.

Q: What twist rate and thread pitch does it have?

A: Call 817-393-4000 and we will confirm twist rate, thread pitch, gas system and rail for this exact part number. Those figures vary between DD5 chamberings and barrel lengths, and we would rather check the correct build than repeat a specification from another.

Q: How do I get a compliant magazine?

A: Confirm the capacity your own state and locality allow, since that is a local question and the rules change. Then call 817-393-4000 and we will confirm the pattern this rifle takes and recommend a magazine that fits within your limit.

Q: Do rifles have to be transferred through an FFL?

A: Yes, this one too. Western Sport is a licensed FFL/SOT dealer in Roanoke, Texas, so you can complete the background check and collect here, or we can ship the rifle to a licensed dealer near you. Call 817-393-4000.
