Daniel Defense was late to the AR arena. Tardiness aside, the manufacturer’s first entry — the DD5V1 — was exceptional. If the DD5V1 was an instant hit, then the performance of the Daniel Defense DD5V2 is a revelation.
The DD5V2 incorporates more than a decade of expertise from industry-leading engineers and designers.

With innovative features like a four-bolt connection system utilizing a patent-pending barrel extension, an optimized upper receiver, an improved bolt carrer group, ambidextrous controls, a modular charging handle and a cold-hammer-forged barrel, the DD5V2 — although built around a traditional AR — establishes a new tradition in 7.62mm NATO rifles.
Watch the DD5V2 in action above at the recent Athlon Outdoors Rendezvous, which took place at the Gateway Canyons resort in Colorado.
