Daniel Defense DD5 V3-CC | 16″ 7.62×51 | 10+1 | 0215707258055

The Daniel Defense DD5 V3-CC is a California-compliant variant of the DD5 platform chambered in .308 / 7.62 NATO with a 16″ hammer-forged barrel and a 10+1 magazine configuration. It features an adjustable gas block for consistent operation suppressed or unsuppressed, a four-bolt connection system for increased barrel-to-receiver rigidity, and upgraded ambidextrous controls. For an optic under $1,000, a 1-6×24 low-power variable optic such as the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 pairs well for versatile target engagement at varied ranges.

Applications include precision AR-platform shooting and range/competition marksmanship where repeatable accuracy and robust construction are priorities.
