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.

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.

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

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.

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

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