Daniel Defense DD5 V5 Rifle, 6.5 Creedmoor, 20″ Barrel, No Magazine

Product Description

The Daniel Defense DD5 V5 Rifle, part number 02-165-30063-067, is a semi-automatic 6.5 Creedmoor rifle with a 20″ barrel on the Daniel Defense DD5 platform, supplied without a magazine.

The no-magazine build has its own part number because magazine capacity is restricted in a number of states and localities; the magazine is left out so the rifle can ship, then supplied locally to whatever capacity applies there. If that is not your situation, the standard DD5 V5 in 6.5 Creedmoor is the same rifle. DD5 barrels are cold hammer forged from Daniel Defense proprietary steel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the V5 different from the DD5 V4?

A: Barrel length. This V5 part number is the 20″ build, where the V4 is offered at 18″ and the V3 at 16″. The longer barrel suits deliberate precision shooting; the shorter ones handle more easily. Call 817-393-4000 to compare them properly.

Q: Why is it supplied without a magazine?

A: Because magazine capacity is restricted in a number of states and localities. Daniel Defense builds a no-magazine part number for exactly that situation, and the dealer completing the transfer supplies a magazine at whatever capacity the destination currently permits.

Q: Is a 20″ barrel worth it in 6.5 Creedmoor?

A: A longer barrel generally gives more velocity and a steadier hold, which is why the V5 exists alongside the shorter DD5 builds. It also adds length and weight. If most of your shooting is inside a few hundred yards, the shorter builds are worth considering.

Q: Can you confirm twist rate and thread pitch?

A: Call 817-393-4000 and we will confirm twist rate, muzzle thread pitch, gas system and rail against this exact part number. DD5 specifications differ between chamberings and barrel lengths, so we prefer to check rather than publish a figure from another build.

Q: What magazine should I pair with the V5?

A: You will need one, as none is supplied. Confirm the capacity allowed in your state and locality, then call 817-393-4000 and we will confirm the right magazine pattern for this rifle and point you at something compliant. Capacity rules are yours to verify.

Q: Does it require an FFL transfer?

A: Yes. It is a rifle, so the transfer must be completed by a licensed FFL. Western Sport holds an FFL and SOT in Roanoke, Texas, so collect from us or nominate a dealer closer to you and we will ship. Call 817-393-4000.
