There are a lot of good AR10's on the market. Picking the "best" is impossible, but picking a personal best based on my experience is much easier. The Daniel Defense DD5V3 is easily one of the best. The DD5 comes in different calibers and barrel lengths. The DD5V3 has a 16" barrel, the DD5V4 has a 18" barrel and the DD5V5 has a 20" barrel. It's also available in .308, 6.5 Creedmoor and .260 Remington.

I bought a new DD5V4 last year. Out of the box it was struggling to strip full power rounds. Sent it back to DD and they replaced the barrel, gas block, installed a 3/4" longer buffer tube and different buffer spring. Shoots flawlessly now...even steel case. The repair manager called me personally to tell me he test fired the rifle personally and I should be very happy with the combination. DD had it back to me in a week.
for the price you pay they better be on it
Did they put an A5 length buffer tube on there? That's what mine came with, thought it was interesting as I use that setup on my SBR...
Man that makes me feel good if I ever have to call bout mine which I’ve got around 1500 to 2k rds on mine. I’m gonna see if I can buy the 20” upper as I’m a speed chaser always lookin for higher velocities…shot 110varmageddons@3333fps from 16” yesterday…
@@charlesmullins3238factory loads or handloads???
@@charlesmullins3238I know federal makes and advertises 3300fps on their factory ammo but I thought that was from a 24" barrel. Nosler also makes a 110gr Varmageddon but I wanna say they list it at 3150fps.
I've been really happy with mine as well; it shoots lights out and is very pleasant to shoot.
Hey bud do you like the mk216 or this better?
@@queefersutherland8495 as much as I loved my PWS, and as much as I generally view DD products as over priced for their quality, I would 100% go with the dd5v3 (if those are the only two options) as it will run a wider range of ammo out of the box.
@@308supremacist I hear that the 216 wasn't very fond of wolf but ran fine with tula. Brass is fine. Wolf didn't have enough oomph had several fte/ft.. thanks for your input
@@queefersutherland8495 I had a LOT of issues with wolf ammo, and about half as much with Tula. It really boiled down to several factors, I went back and forth with PWS several times and eventually sold the rifle over the issues I was having. It is no fault of the gun, it is merely that the gun is designed to be a match rifle, and not a battle rifle. What I dug up about the PWS mk216's issue with ammo sensitivity is basically a perfect storm of contributing factors.
1- To start, steel case cheap 308 ammo is very inconsistently loaded. I pulled the projectiles on 5 different rounds of wolf and 5 rounds of tula, and discovered that the "hottest" of them was still around 2 grains of powder less than the m80 ball. Couple this with what I cover in the subsequent paragraphs, and you have a perfect storm to make steel case inconsistent at best in regards to reliability from this particular firearm.
2- The long stroke piston BCG is a considerable amount heavier than a standard 308 BCG. Normally you can make up for this with with a gas or buffer weight adjustment, but....
3- To keep the rifle shooting smoothly, PWS has vent cuts in the gas tube. This would work very well with a gas regulator system that has many adjustment points, however the PWS system only has 4 counting the off position. None of those are in the right range to make up for the slightly anemic loading of the steel cased ammo, and the increased weight of the reciprocating mass does not help. ***Disclaimer***: This venting is very useful on "hotter" loadings, but it makes it more difficult to have the ass to cycle reliably with steel case.
And finally, the space magic of it all, number 4- Steel casings expand in the firing cycle, just as brass does. That said, steel does not have the same rate of contraction post detonation that brass does. PWS advertises their chamber as a Match cut. Match chambers are usually tighter than non match chambers. So my theory is that the steel casing is sandwiching itself in that chamber, making the BCG have a harder time with extraction. Remember, the steel cased ammo is also a little under charged compared to its brass counterpart.
Sorry if this long post was in any way hard to follow, but these are my findings after a year of fiddling with the rifle and trying to make it feed steel case. I would like to take this chance to add that the rifle is in no way an inherently BAD gun. It simply was not designed to fill a battle rifle role. It is more than capable of filling a designated marksman rifle role though, and mine particularly loved 168gr open tip match ammo. Thanks for taking the time to read this, get out there and train. Dont care if you're a tier 1 super delta seal force pj recon beret, we all can improve somewhere. Also, hydrate. This is a threat.
Would love to see both you guys review the Seekins Precision SP10. I've been shopping about 4 or 5 different AR10's and I was really impressed after handling one at a shop. I noticed Joel at TFB on Precision Rifle Network chose it for his personal rifle. He's a PRS guy and I'd love to see you guys put it through the paces and see how it fares! Appreciate all you guys do for us your viewers. 😉👍
This is pretty incredible for a $2500 gun. LMT and LWRC long range AR10 variants are about $4000. Other brands are much higher too. So this is awesome!
Yep, in a recent video at Classicfirearms, they compared various firearms, when it came to Knights Armaments SE-5, one guy gave it only 4 points. There are nothing wrong with it. He killed it on price saying the rifle is nowhere close to $5K! I agree! My DD5V4 at $2.5K performs just as great as the SR-5! If the SR is better, it’s only 15-20% better, making it no more than $200-300 more, no where close to an extra 2.5K more. With that kind of cash, I’d rather get a good scope, like the Trijicon Creedo I have my eyes on, a good bipod, and rest on ammo. If you gonna charge a gun that 100%, then it better perform 200% better than the competition. KA, LWRC come no where close to the price they charge.
I absolutely love my DD5v4 in .308. You nailed it as to why. Keep up the good work MAC.
Man... always coming through with excellent content. Informative, easy to follow, sensible... always look forward to seeing your videos on the stuff I'm interested in. Keep it up.
Picked one up back on January for my birthday and love the thing! The fit and finish just screams quality. I initially wanted the v4 (18 inch barrel) but my understanding is the difference from a ballistics standpoint between a 16 inch and an 18 inch barrel 308 is very minimal.
Love that ambi bolt stop/bolt release! It’s like the B.A.D lever but much more compact & ergonomic 🥰
Just want to help with the Algorithm. I enjoy your content, and have been following your channel for years. Please keep up the good work.
Thank you brother, it means a lot!
I agree with Walter you have some of the best info. I would like your opinion on my Armalite AR10-T 308 compared to the DD you have in the video?
Thanks for a great video. Can't wait to use the info to compare my older DD5 with the V3. You gave me lots of things to look for!
I have one and have had zero issues and love it. It far outshoots my ability. This was an excellent review.
I have the V4 model in .308 and absolutely love it, took it to the range for the first time a little over a week ago and was very impressed with the accuracy and quality of the rifle.
I come to the same conclusion….had some short strokes when I first installed the 419 3 port but seemed to have worked out..run over 12 different ammo types 3 different powders so far and stone a little load development…nothin like Johnny but usin his knowledge I made some decent clone m118lr 175mk’s that I kept round inch…only ar-10 I’ve shot and I’m spoiled cause I don’t see many out shootin a Daniel defense…there out there of course…
A really nice review that shows a lot of details of the rifle that other reviews don't. Thank you very much makes it easier to make a decision.
I have a Ruger SR762 and I absolutely love it. Thanks for the excellent video Tim!
Great video! I have a 5.56 DD and can’t say a bad thing about it. Daniel Defense is without a doubt a top notch gun manufacturer. Cheers-southwest Michigan.
Great vid. This is always a good, honest review and it’s appreciated! Have a good one!
I just ordered a used DD5V4. Should arrive in a week. Can’t wait to try it out.
I’ve owned a DD5 V1 since they came out and never had a hiccup with it. It’s a reliable, accurate DMR. Waiting on the 308 SBR they are suppose to release
Bloody awesome review, Sir! Thank you for your opinion! Noted, considered, and filed for future reference.
I couldn't agree more about Daniel Defense. My first one was their M4A1 which I couldn't be more impressed with. I'm in the market for a 308 and have my eye on the DD5V4 in mil-spec. Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate how you bring out the small details that make this a very robust and accurate rifle.
As always excellent review and video quality is superb
All i have experience with is a smith and wesson m&p10 and i am not a great shooter but held my own at some 600yd matches with federal gmm 168 and have been very happy with it.
Absolutely love my DD5 V4, once I installed the ATC Gold Match trigger and broken it in, it’s almost boring how accurate and dependable the rifle is.
I just bought a DDV4 and can’t wait to get some lead down the barrel. Thank you for this video, I feel like this AR10 will be passed from one generation to the next. God Bless
Would love to see more Daniel Defense reviews on the channel Tim! Maybe a MK18/DDM4?? Thanks for great work!
Excellent review Tim, love my DD5. Picked up a V1 during the Hillary panic in ‘15 back when they were first released. The V1’s came with a proprietary charging handle that had a ball detent at the top. Some owners found this detent would not secure the CH after carbon build up so DD changed the CH on the latter versions. Due to the ball detent standard CH’s would not work which is a feature I detest as I wanted to use an aftermarket CH. Also the V1’s shipped with KeyMod handguards and a Geissele FCG. Looking at picking up V4 18” upper for mine so I can get more out of the 7.62 NATO. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Just picked one up. Excellent review Tim. I was cringing at the price but I said what the heck I want a quality rifle. That bad boy is very accurate in your video. NICE!
MAC is one of my new favorite channels been binge watching, very informative safe and helps me dream 🇨🇦😔 since I'll never have a chance at these amazing firearms living vicariously Tim MAC!!🙌
Thank you JC for watching! We greatly appreciate your support. I hate what the Canadian government has done to gun owners up north. We love our brothers and sisters to the north, you've been outstanding allies and neighbors.
thank you for showing the ar10 tim!! keep up the great work!!!
Nice review. Already have two other DDs: DDM4V5 and Mk18 pistol. The DD5V3 will be my next one.
Looks like a very nice rifle. I love the idea of the buffer system in the bolt. I just couldn't justify the cost. I went with the PSA Gen III PA10 with the 18" barrel and the Geissele SSA-E trigger.
The only AR 10 I ever shot was Daniel defense and I took note i was in love with a red dot insane accuracy
I have a DD5V4308 absolutely love it I installed a V cog on it but after shooting it with theV cog I realized the gun was capable of so much more because of its accuracy I just installed a new night force scope shot very tight groups today the gun is more capable than me at this point
The DD5V4 with a Geiselle Trigger is quite simply amazing, out of the box with a good oiling and a bit of grease on the springs it works very well. Its the 18 inch version
Been handloadin for mine over a yr and shootin bottlecaps@100…175smk and 178bthp hornady…I’ve packed mine all over hell knocked it off the porch and it and my gen2 3x15viper have took it all..trigger was best upgrade and I have all you can put on one…50rds in the gun and 10 on the stock of eld..amax..mk’s..and gmm…only rifle man needs..
I purchased a Diamondback AR10 18inch in 308 years ago and absolutely love the thing I've had 0 malfunctions and its shoots 1 min groups, it also has a very mild recoil impulse.
One of the nice things about Saturday mornings is waking up to a new MAC video. 👍
Thank you for watching!
this or LMT mws or ADM uic 10a
Been looking to get an AR-10. Thank you for the review
Just got the DD 5v5 seeing your group sizes excites me. Can’t wait to see how it does, plans on using it for coyotes and a few ground diggers. I’m an old bolt gunner my entire life has been 700 rem and cooper rifles.
Tim thanks for the great review as usual! I have a Larue 16" "PredatOBR" in .308 that shoots lights out with multiple factory loads. It's a bit heavy and has the proprietary hand guard but blows me away with it's performance which is similar to what you've shown with the DD. I think it's so cool that we can now routinely shoot sub MOA with these rifles which we tried for ages to do with any bolt rifle! Keep up the great work!!
I’ve shot a PredaOBR and like you it was a sub-minute gun. Nice rifles. It came in used to Copper so we took it out for some shooting. Thanks for watching.
Nice job as always!
Just bought one today, can’t wait to get it!!!
Chad, from School of the American Rifle, says those are weep holes. They allow you to blow compressed air in them, can move oil and debris out of the channel of the ejector springs.
Bad?
Yeah they’re weep holes alright. Catching all the tears from having to drop $2500 on it. 😢😂
@@tristanhodgden4286 No, they are there on purpose, other bolts have them too.
Well I have to say I’m very impressed by the DD5V3 in both accuracy and recoil. It’s really kinda crazy cause initially I thought maybe you were just overplaying the recoil reduction but watching you shoot that gun it looks like the recoil on my 9mm PCC. Having said all this I’m not really that surprised cause I own a DDM4V5 in 5.56 and with its cold hammer forged chrome lined barrel it can still shoot absolutely lights out with the right load. My DD consistently out shoots my Colt 6920 and I know they are both chrome lined but I’m just setting the stage for how awesome DD accuracy is. I think the DDM4 and DD5 rifles might be some of the best bang for your buck gas guns on the planet cause even the DD5’s can be had for under the $2500 mark and for what you actually get that’s really competitive especially if you look at the cost of comparable platforms that shoot that good. I mean let’s face it what other gas gun are you going to purchase with accuracy and recoil impulse that good for under $2500.
Great comment!
New to guns! You guys are great!
I purchased this rifle last week, and finally got it to the range today to put some rounds through it and zero the scope. Ran flawlessly, but the trigger left a lot to be desired. So much mush and hard to feel the break. That's my only gripe. I have a Geissele on order which will solve that issue. But I do feel at this price range it should come stock with a better trigger.
How’s the recoil impulse on it? I’m between this and the 18” barrel because maneuverability and differences in gas systems.
@@zackadams419 Hey, Zack. Recoil impulse is much gentler than my Remington bolt gun, which is the only .308 I have to compare it to. I've only been at an indoor range with it so far, and the concussion of shooting..308 indoors has been more of a distraction than any felt recoil of the rifle. An extra 2 inches on the barrel will reduce recoil a bit, but the 16" doesn't have bad recoil as-is. The 18' will get you a bit less recoil, more fps and accuracy at the expense of handling. I prefer the compactness which is why I bought this one. It is one badass rifle.
OMG I've been waiting for years you review a DD gun . My regards and respect to you Tim keep your great job with the Second Amendment community American-Venezuelan fan. Living here in Georgia
Thank you, Simon. I'm glad I was able to get around to doing this video for ya. 👍 Thank you for the support.
@@Militaryarmschannel like I said thanks for keep up the fight sir, I'm an immigrant and I see with great sadness how this great country is rundown for this crooks in D.C. trying to disarm us and making our country weak. I don't want to live in another Venezuela. I'm a huge fan of your videos, actually you are one of the guys that influenced me to get in to guns here in USA and for me you are an Authority and a reference point when I'm going to choose any gun, specially BCM one of favorite brands like DD. God Bless You Man
Nice video Tim. I really hope you get a chance to run the S&W Performance Center AR10 in 6.5 soon
I’ve been waiting for your thoughts since you alluded to having one in a previous video. I’ve felt the DD5 platform was the best of the current platform AR10s since the V3-V5 enhancements were made.
They’re doing a lot of things right with these rifles and I fully expect them to continue selling out for the foreseeable future.
Argentina’s Special Forces seem to be extremely fond of their V3s and V4s so props to DD for getting this one extremely right.
idk the proprietary everything is a turnoff and have read alot of owner reviews with issues and selling them.
ADM UIC 10A comes with a more proven ambi lower, radian charging handle and saftey, geissele trigger, SLR adjustable gas block, b5 stock and surefire warcomp - all best in class parts
This still looks really good, as does the LMT mws
I am stuck one which to get
I have other rifles from each company
LMT MWS without a doubt. Even tho it’s not an AR10 it’s the best 308 ar platform
Agreed.
POF revolution. LMT makes amazing, truly "best-of-the-best", weapons but I think many of the POF features are truly "revolutionary" improvements. Either is an amazing piece of manufacturing for sure though.
@@DB.KOOPER I would agree that they also do good work moving the needle on the platform. I had a POF renegade that was a very fine rifle and I reccomend them also. Their dictator gas block works really well and makes their guns highly tuneable. The e squared chamber is also a great idea and seems to work very well. The only drawback to some of their guns is they look gawdy.
I have to disagree, having had 2 LMT MWS. On paper, they seem great, but in truth, they have the most recoil of any AR-10 type rifle. Even with a ltwt barrel, they are still 1/2 lb heavier than competitors. Now maybe the 20” barrel with rifle length gas might be a good choice for a static position weapon, but for me....I’ve had enough of them. I would take the SR-25, DD5V3, or the REC10 over the MWS.
@@donrichter3523 I won't argue with you because I don't have my MWS in hand yet, however I have shot a fair amount of AR-10 rifles, other semi auto and bolt guns and have never found the 308 round particularly soft shooting in any of them.
I would have to try out more to come to a conclusion on what my favorite is. I have an Aero Precision M5E1 and I absolutely love it. Just got the Primary Arms SLx 3-18x50 HUD DMR 308 reticle scope for it to replace the 1-8x ACSS thats on it now. The gun shoots way better than I was expecting so I decided to upgrade the scope. It's got an 18" Ballistic Advantage medium taper barrel with a rifle length gas system and a VG6 Gamma 762 brake. I added a gen 2 Magpul PRS stock but I'm seriously considering swapping it out for a gen 2 UBR. Also has a JP Silent Capture buffer with the various springs. That made a big difference in how it shoots. Only thing missing is a Geissele trigger. I'll make that happen at some point but it's sub MOA all day with the mil spec one that's in it. A close friend has a higher end Stag. I shot it a few times and found it to be exceptional for the money. He got it new for just under 1k then added a trijicon scope. Not sure which model. Was running Magpul Pro flip ups when I shot it. I used to really like the Black Rian Ordnance 308s but I'm not sure if their quality has gone down over the years or I've just been exposed to some really nice stuff but for some reason they just don't seem to be quite as good as they were several years back.
I JUST got mine Thursday after ordering it back in April through an OTOA promotion.
Very nice! My AR10 is Aero Precision... I'm happy with it! 10.5" pistol that hammers steel targets
Sadly I have barely got to shoot my gen 3 PA-10 from palmetto state armory. Has a 20” barrel with rifle length gas system and adjustable gas block. With the way things are looking I probably won’t be shooting it much more for a while. Great video as always Tim
Those features are pretty cool. I like how they 'upgraded' a lot of things without getting overzealous like other brands do.
Some brands are like "We upgraded the buffer tube to be 3 times as thick so it doesn't break!!....also you can only use our stocks on it. We also upgraded the takedown pins so that they never break!...also you can only need a special tool to take the rifle apart now"
Where as this DD rifle seems to have upgraded stuff without 'messing' with the overall design too much. Pretty cool.
... *my next rifle* ... I have the 5.56 in this DD - by FAR my fav AR. Build quality is to the moon. I own BCM & CZ Bren & RRA PDS & other ARs. By FAR the most accurate and worth every dollar spent. Tim - you even have the Athlon scope on there which is my absolute choice too.! Great Video.!!!
I bought a V1 for $1900 which is just about $600 less than the V3; still with Geisle trigger and chrome 16in barrel. Did the same test with worse ammo at 100yds and was able to put one in the same hole. I can say that buying a used V1 can get you similar results for the lower price. Dang good DMR.
I built an Aero Precision M5 308 with a 16" barrel and it's my favorite AR10 that I've shot but I've never shot a DD5 or any other really high end AR10
I wouldn't mind seeing a head to head video with this and a couple other AR-10s on the market
I would definitely like to see this as well.
A head to head of the MR762, DD5, and POF Revolution would be nice.
ADM UIC 10A & LMT mws
I definitely want a DD. Really any of them. I have the LWRC REPR MKII. I'm pretty satisfied. I think it's right up there with any AR10 there is. I'll probably get a 6.5 or 5.56 in the DD.
Great vid as always!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
I recommend the Spikes Tactical Roadhouse, or if you’re on a budget then the Aero Precision M5E1. Both are excellent and both companies make spare parts available
I love my DDM4V7, and would like to have the DD5. I currently have 2 of the LMT MWS308. One with the quad rail and the other is newer with the M-lok rail. both are awesome but heavy!!! Great video!!!
if you ever sell the mlok upper one let me know
Little MAC going to have fun with that
I don't currently own anything from D.D. but I would very much like to. Looks like a very nice rifle.
Awesome videos and I understand this Mississippi humidity is killer
Thank you, Hope. It's been a muggy year for us here in NW Indiana. Tons of mosquitos this year too... due to all the rain we've gotten. We had a month of non-stop rain and 80+ degrees even during the storms.
MAC, YOU are the best at explaining everything
Thank you. 😀
@@Militaryarmschannel you're very welcome
I have been a KAC guy since I purchased my first one. I will probably never buy anything but KAC. That being said, the Daniel Defense DD5V3 is an amazing gun for the price point. I am hard pressed to explain why I am willing to pay almost DOUBLE for a KAC. Incredible value here.
My next purchase will be a Kac SR-25 14.5.
Buy once cry once. I just found my next AR-10 thats for sure! Gonna go with the 18” .308. Not sure about the optic yet though. On my AR-15 platform rifles with magnified optics I really like Primary Arms optics. Their reticles are outstanding! I can take friends that have shot before but don’t really know how to shoot good to the range, tell them at 200 or 300 yards just use the part of the reticle that matches the range and they can hit steel and have a great time. I only live an hour away from them so I can check out their optics in person before I buy. They definitely changed the optic game when they hit the market.
Great looking weapon thank you for sharing.
For that price, I bought a lathe, made my own custom buffer, and built a 12.5 inch left hand non reciprocating side charge ar10 that uses a maxim defense CQB brace. Adjustable gas block from wojtek, and a 1x green acss prism optic from primary arms. Oh and I put in a velocity 4lb trigger. My total cost counting the lathe was about 2600 after shipping.
Skills to make it all happen: Priceless
@@guiltyspark659 I literally just took my time and taught myself how to operate the hobby grade lathe that I bought lol no skill, just raw determination. I need to get to machining a few more buffers and slap together some more of what I lovingly call "the thundersticc"
Big fan of my Daniel Defense! Actually was my first quality rifle purchase. It shoots excellent groups can’t beat it!
I'm glad you've had similar experiences to my own. Thanks for watching.
my best AR = 11.5 ddm4v7s upper on a LMT mars lower with all radian & geissele accessories
DD makes some of the finest AR style rifles in the 🌎!!!
WELL Done!
Talk about a wait. Have several DD's and ordered the dd5v4 ar10 5/24/2022 and it has just shipped 1/12/2023. Will arrive in a couple days. Long wait but always well worth it from DD.
I only have the one, it's a DB10 in 308. I get 1.5 from it with the OEM trigger and the course duplex scope. I'm looking forward to a trigger upgrade to help some. The scope will stay till I find something different.
Got my palmetto stare AR-10 gen 2 and it works…. Been very much fun, but I had to do some serious upgrades to have it run the way I want it to.
If I had the $$$, I would’ve gone with either LMT, Daniel Defense, or POF.
Been looking at the DD5V3 as a battle/DMR riffle. I now think it’s a lock. If the only negative is price then they are doing it right and they want us to know it.
I love that Range Rules sign.
I love mine! I have the older one with the Gieselle trigger luckily!
The beta/prototype version with that horribly designed proprietary charging handle? I had one of those for a while. Not anymore though. Mine was a turd, unfortunately.
Based on price, how do you feel this holds up when compared to the Sig Sauer 716i? At $1000 more, do you receive that much more value? Or is it just QC and an adjustable gas block that makes the difference as they are both DI gas systems? Thanks MAC!
My father and I both have 716i's and they're great ar-10s for the money. Is the DD better? Probably, $1,000 better? probably not, unless you just have that kind of money to spend. The sig's don't have an ambi bolt catch/release and the barrel probably isn't as accurate but elsewise their setup is similar and both have 16" 1/10 twist barrels for the 168 and above grain weights. I wish those loadings were more available and affordable so I could stretch the rifles out on my 600 yard range at some point. Oh I also put two geissele ssa-e triggers in our guns as I wasn't all that impressed with sig's, rather average feeling to me, triggers.
Seems like a pretty high value 308 gas gun. I built a custom 308 using a 20” Bartlein barrel, JP LMOS bcg, JP SCS, Geiselle SSA-E, etc. it shoots lights out yes but it took a lot of work and tuning
Love the channel!! Wish i could afford something like that, it’s a pie in the sky
Great review
Definitely a bucket list gun, my DD Mk12 always surprises me with it’s accuracy despite being chrome lined.
They know how to make a good barrel, that's for sure.
LMT mws / ADM uic 10a or this DD?
May or may not be the best AR-10 ever, but it's absolutely one of my favs! Just wish I could afford one lol!
Just be aware that when you add a silencer you must alter the gas setting, I have sheered off two bolt hold open devices on the top of the trigger group, each with less than 20 rds through the rifle. The overgassing caused this and was something I didnt notice until after the second time I sheered off the internal catch on bolt the hold open device. One other issue after fixing these problems are despite having a Rotex V B&T .308 on the rifle, after maybe 300 hundred rounds the point of aim shifts rapidly and will not sustain any type of decent groups out to 300m.
Maybe its the Moderator. Apart from this the rifle shoots exceptionally well. Maybe I need to get a different silencer. Goes to show expensive silencers dont always work.
That's a sweet setup.
Now I’ve got to add one more to my collection
Amen on the cotter pins!
Thank you!
I’d like to see MAC review the Windham .308 with free float rail. Lightweight and pinned gas block. Not talked about much
I have the Saint Victor .308 and love it. I also love DD and have the DD MK12 and DDM4V9 now. Really think if I should buy this guy!
Great video thanks!
Pretty much everything DD puts their name on is good to go. I understand there are other very good AR10s on the market, but it is hard to argue with Tim's experience. Still, I think if you're willing to spend that kind of money on an AR, you're better off building, not buying. For the price of the DD; Aero Precision upper, lower, and 15 inch Atlas R-One Mlok, all Ceracoated FDE, Larue trigger, Radian BCG and charging handle, Magpul UBR Gen II and pistol grip, Magpul Pro LR front and rear sights, Proof Research 18 inch carbon fiber barrel, VG6 Gamma brake. Weighs just over 8 pounds with an 18 inch barrel, rifle length gas system, and 15 inch handguard.
I have a DD Ambush .308. That’s was their first try at a .308. Due to the design of this rifle, I have big plans to experiment with it. I just can’t seem to get the money together to do it.
Thanks for not showing the break down, but still showing unique features,👍
Need more Daniel Defence products in South Africa
They are availble if you don't mind paying R50,000 + for a rifle. DM4 FF 18 is doing the job & it is localy produced.
@@thepiratepenguin4465 there are south African made dd's?
@@tristanhodgden4286 No, the DM4 is not a DD. They are localy built rifles based on the AR platform. There are some videos of the DM4 in action.
I have been following you for years and you have some of the best info. I would like your opinion on my Armalite AR10-T 308 compared to the DD you have in the video?
Great video
Nice shooting MAC.
I bought the 716i and couldnt be happier.
Have you fired m80 ball out of it? I'm only able to pull it down to a out 3.5" groups.
