On a road trip I randomly rode past the DD headquarters in Georgia and i was like a 6 year old seeing a theme park lol my wife looked at me like “dude get a grip” 😂
Got my first DD earlier this year. Do not regret the purchase at all. My friend and I shot/compared my V7 to his M4 carbine, one of the OG models and it's quite the improvement over the years. Phenomenal quality rifles.
3:39 you show the exact rifle I have! I got it for my 15th birthday earlier this year! I got into 3 Gun a year ago and I’d been using an off the shelf DPMS. I don’t blame my dad he wasn’t sure if I’d stick with it- so no need to go out and spend a bundle on a nice quality rifle; right? Anyhow I love my V7- it’s not overly heavy- it’s smooth firing, easy for me to transition, I can spend 4 hours on my range practicing and my shoulder won’t be sore like it was with the DPMS. The first place price in my last shoot was a Falkor Defense .300 Petra/ but I got second place! Settled for a brand new Glock 19X and a free Cerakote finish of my choice- I chose dark pink and white pearl swirl. N E ways, Daniel Defense thank you for making a great rifle.
Well, last Tuesday, Classic Firearms had a Daniel Defense fire sale. Select DD rifles, including DDM4V7, DDM4V9, and DDM4 RIS, all had their price dropped to $1,700! Hell of deal so I snatched up a V9 since I like the Pic rails over M-Lok. Should be here in the next few days.
I want an AR. Didn't know which one but I knew it would be a Daniel Defense. This video was exactly what I needed because I didn't know the difference between any of their rifles.
It's my dream to build an AR style rifle preferably non-restricted from you guys! There's no where I'd rather build my first AR... I love the company and i can't wait to have a fun gun made by Daniel Defense. May my dreams one day come true!
took my DDM4V5 to the range last weekend. very reliable and very accurate. was thinking of buying another brand or building one but I might just get another DD. aside from being great shooters they're the best looking rifles in my opinion.
About to make my first dd purchase. Can't wait. I have a variety of mid tier rifles both custom builds and bought ready to go. I shot a dd once a couple years ago and it ruined me forever. I picked a bad time to decide to buy ($2600) but as the saying goes... YOLO
@@ah64dbeast37 🤣 Or buy two PSA kits and a couple of lowers... Build your own, and buy a shit load of ammo. Or buy one of a hundred other well built brands for half the price.
RIPPER334 Not everyone has to scrounge for cash. The same reason Wilson Combat sells sky-high priced 1911’s...because they can and there’s a market for them.
Love my MK12 upper. Bought it and popped it on an Anderson lower. Went to buy the matching a lower and was very upset to find out they don’t sell the lower separately like they do the upper. Oh well the Anderson lower works very well and probably a fraction of the price too.
Man there’s nothing bad I could say about my ddm4v11…. Only put 1000 rounds through it but it’s one of my favorite guns to shoot… after watching this video… I must say that the dd5v1 has been added to my Christmas list!
Just picked up my V7 yesterday, it's my very first AR and it's absolutely beautiful! Going to the store tomorrow to pick up some sights and an optic, then it's off to the range to have some fun with it.
I bought my first ar15 in 2010....it was a rock river lar15 elite comp....after about two month i decided that i despised....it was super heavy and most of that weight was toward the front.....it had the forged heavy barrel and a kid you not a steel front hand rail. Not only was it an uncomfortable gun....it's accuracy was garbage. So I gave it to my brother....bought myself and m1a scout squad (that was even heavier than the rock river) but it accuratem...comfortable and powerful....well for the last 14 years I've not had a highopini9n of the ar15 platform....but i finally decided to give the ar15 another chance....this time I bought a danial defense m4a1 milspec+......I hope it changes my mind about the ar15.....and that is everything the rock river wasnt.....like not too heavy....accurate...and no light gap between the upper and lower and no buttstock slop.
We got a V7 to test... Was more accurate than my BCM’s! I think the V7 is a fantastic training carbine, probably the best made right now. It’s so easy to hit with its like cheating.
Can I no longer get a DD5V1 or DD5V2 in Mil Spec + or DD5V1/DD5V2 with Mlok? I see Black is now only color available for those rifles. How disappointing
Just got a DD5v4 7.62 NATO .308 Win - simply one of the best rifles I have owned - debating on what optic to put on it Trijicon ACOG or Aimpoint Red Dot - open to suggestions?
I LOVE my V11 and my gf is in the market for a new DD rifle but really wants to see the deep wood green color in person before “pulling the trigger” but we haven’t been able to find a dealer with one in our area. We are in North Idaho, any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Saving up my money for the DDM4V7!!!! Do you have any coupons!!!!! I'm so stoked about owning one. It should come with a cleaning rag or a shirt or something lol. Help me out Daniel Defense!!!
Just got my new dd4 ris 3. It came completely dry. Strange. Also came inside the bolt and firing pin, a big wad of grease in it. It could hardly lock up. I don’t know if this is normal from the factory or not. I bought my gun brand new in a penny auction on gunbroker. It ended late at night and no one was watching. I got it for $1700.00 from a ffl in North Carolina.
I like my mk18 ris 2 that I have on a LMT mars lower. In addition, I really like DD barrels. But I think DD needs to adapt with the times. Most of DD’s competitors, in the same price range, are true ambi and come with an upgraded trigger. I prefer my KAC, LMT, BCM, BGD, ADM, LWRC, HK, SWORD, LaRue, Noveske, and Radian over my DD.
Sweet. Have an M4A1 & just today picked out (not PICKED UP yet) a DDM4 V7 P, 300 BLK for a GREAT $. Wife & I are fixin’ to roll that way. I’m actually of the mindset to SWAP OUT the MLOK V7 rail FOR the RIS II, like the M4A1.. love that rail. But $440 on their website..decisions, decisions. SHOUD BE an even (easy) swap...
There are so many AR's available and so many companys in the market, what exactly is the different between a 1200+ AR from a build ur own 400-600 $ AR? Is it the quality, failure rate or something>?
@dualspectrumreality ytilaermurtcepslaud I litearlly bought a Daniel defense today I bough the DDM4V7, it feels great. I just need to buy some sights now and adjust the front hand girp. imgur.com/a/NEva8oN Person i spoke too basically told me the same thing.
Remember when BMW named cars according to 1. Frame size. 2. Engine size. 3 body type? That way everyone in the world could look at the badge and know exactly what was going on. I used to follow BMW a lot closer than I do now because NOW the nomenclature is so confusing it’s like a secret code. Sound familiar. ?
I’m shocked you guys used to use BCM charging handles on your rifles lol. They’re you’re biggest competition. Surprised Marty Daniel was okay with that haha.
DanielDefense thank you very much! Also, can a brace be placed on the weapon to make it legal pistol? I know that I would still need a tax stamp because of the suppressor.
comcastjohn you could, but the suppressor tube is pinned and welded to the barrel bringing it to and overall legal length of 16 inches so there really isn’t a need to make it a pistol. We designed it so it would be a one stamp firearm just for the suppressor.
Can't make up my mind. :/ I'm a GWOT Vet and want the M4A1, V1, or the V9 for the fact that I'm nostalgic for picatinny like on my service rifle. That said, I don't know if I want the carbine or mid-length gas system. I also worry about not hopping on the MLOK train and regretting it. Choices...
@ Ended up building a SOPMOD Block II FSP. DD sells the upper and a few months back released a limited lower. I bought both, married them and the rest is history.

I have had the DDM4V9 for 5 years and its a lovely rifle! Not 1 misfire in around 2500 rounds
I have the older V7 Mil Spec+ model with full picatinny rail system I picked up back in 2014. Still going strong! Love DD rifles.
Excellent video. Easy to understand. 1st AR DOB, 5/16/09. DDM4V1. Top notch tool. Keep it up, DD.
DD rifles are full of quality. I love mine. Having a capable rifle in times like this puts your mind to rest.
