CA Compliance:
California compliance
- Status: Legal to own in California.
- Configuration: Featureless, built by WBT: grip fin in place of the pistol grip, stock pinned in a fixed position, flash hider removed and replaced with a thread protector (a muzzle brake is an optional upgrade). The magazine release works normally, so reloads are the same as anywhere else.
- Magazine: Standard detachable, 10-round.
- Your options: If this page shows a compliance selector, choose the build you prefer and we configure it that way. If not, this is the configuration we offer by default; on AR-pattern rifles and some AKs a different build is often possible, so ask us before you order.
- Upgrades: Prefer a more comfortable featureless grip (Sparrow Dynamics, Juggernaut Tactical, Strike MegaFin)? See California Compliance Upgrades. Want a muzzle brake in place of the thread protector? Add either to this order and they ship installed.

About this rifle
Daniel Defense DD5 V3 is a large-frame AR chambered in .308/7.62x51 with a 16" barrel and a 10-round capacity. Finish: Black. WBT configures it for California at our Yuma, Arizona warehouse before it ships.
Manufacturer details
The DD5 V3 builds upon the foundation Daniel Defense established in 7.62 AR-style rifles. This highly accurate and durable rifle includes an adjustable gas block that allows for a consistent feel whether shooting suppressed or unsuppressed. 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 platforms have upgraded controls like ambi bolt catch, magazine release, safety selector and Daniel Defense enhanced furniture. The DD5 V3 sets a new benchmark in performance for 7.62 AR-style rifles.
