Details
The DD5 SBR offers all the benefits of the full size rifles, but in a smaller package. This highly accurate and durable rifle is built around a 12.5” barrel, mid-length gas system, an adjustable gas block that allows for a consistent feel whether shooting suppressed or unsuppressed, and features the Daniel Defense Linear Compensator. The perfected bolt carrier group reduces overall recoil impulse and is easy to maintain and operate in all conditions. Designed around a Cold Hammer Forged barrel with an innovative 4-Bolt Connection System, this design dramatically increases the connection surface area between the barrel and upper receiver for increased rigidity/stability to wring out accuracy traditionally only found in high-end bolt action rifles. The DD5 SBR features fully ambi controls and Daniel Defense enhanced furniture.

- DD5 SBR exactly what I needed. Maneuverable, manageable, accurate beyond 500 meters(tested to 500)The Craftsmanship outstanding, finish excellent but I wish it was available in OD green. Shooting rounds specifically loaded for shorter barrels. I was able to repeatedly hit my 10 inch wide by 16 inch long steel plate at my max available distance of 500 meters. But the real beauty is its quick handling in tighter areas. It hits hard and unsuppressed it definitely gets some hate from fellow shooters. Suppressed it’s a dream to shoot, probably three times the striking power of a 5.56. In every shot.
I am unique armed with this tool CQB to at least 500 meters with confidence and the ability to take big game animals if need be.Posted on
- Excellent platformQuality build, reliable and accurate. About 1500 rounds down range on this and it’s exactly what you would expect. Paired with an Eotech EXPS HWS it’s the perfect personal home defense weapon yet still accurate enough to be effective in taking down hogs and other predators at distance.

- JACK HAMMERRecoil is better than most high-end 308 rifles, as an SBR, its CQB use is awesome, it will shoot threw a fridge on the other side of a brick wall.
Measure some really high velocities, good to use up to 1/4 mile with ease.Posted on
- Great rifleGun is amazing, very accurate and fun to shoot. Trigger is a little gritty. But I'll drop in a nice trigger to fix. Almost the perfect weapon!
