Daniel Defense DD5 6.5mm Creedmoor 18 Inch Rifle

Description

The Daniel Defense DD5 is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor with an 18-inch barrel. This configuration uses a machined 7075-T6 aluminum receiver, a 15-inch aluminum M-LOK rail, and no sights. We see it as a fit for shooters who prefer to select their own sighting equipment.

We like this configuration for its clearly defined receiver, rail, gas-system, and barrel details. The no-sights setup leaves sighting equipment to the shooter’s own selection, while the aluminum M-LOK rail keeps the handguard specification straightforward. The threaded barrel and 1-in-8 twist are part of the listed configuration. This is the Daniel Defense DD5 setup described above.
