Overviewing the Daniel Defense Rifle Line

With so many different AR models on the market, every companies rifle line can be somewhat confusing. In this video Joe breaks down our core line of rifles, and what differentiates them.

[@qlq6826]

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” 😂

[@DanielDefense]

David Arenas stop by and see us next time!

[@knifeaddict1014]

Haha I’d be the same way any time some one says ar-15 DD will be brought up in the convo.

[@cbroz7492]

Tell the wife that there's an almost 72 year old dude who can pick up what you're puttin' down...

[@Fullyautomagic]

Tell your wife getting a grip is her job

[@aleccross3535]

The consistency of the DD butt stock is just amazing

[@4EverHome]

DD rifles are full of quality. I love mine. Having a capable rifle in times like this puts your mind to rest.

[@jdiamatti]

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.

[@mrt2124]

I have had the DDM4V9 for 5 years and its a lovely rifle! Not 1 misfire in around 2500 rounds

[@stevenrichardson4928]

Great video! Much needed, well presented, and very much appreciated. Thanks!!

[@chloehennessey6813]

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.

[@cmg1238]

Get a v7 pro and v9 each great also m4a1 badass

[@Briar27]

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.

[@gordonadams4793]

Dude- just got chills looking at this video. Truly awesome and intense. Well done

[@pauljohnson9445]

Excellent video. Easy to understand. 1st AR DOB, 5/16/09. DDM4V1. Top notch tool. Keep it up, DD.

[@edxlee]

just got my MK18 and its a beauty! wish i had a SOCOM suppressor to go with it :P

[@larryburner9941]

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.

[@selfmadetool]

Thank you. Exactly what I needed.

[@chiefbrownfart]

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.

[@johnpaul.hello.]

Excellent informational video. Thank you so much. V7 it’ll be for me real soon hopefully!

[@StryderK]

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.

[@warriorzwithin_519]

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!

[@RJ-sr5dv]

Good descriptions, thanks.... Is there a resource that lists the weights of each model?

[@StryderK]

Just a note, all of these rifles are now equipped with DD’s own “grip and rip” charging handle now.

[@EIGHTY7graphics]

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.

[@oncemoreintothefray2766]

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

[@ithan1982]

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!

[@justcurious8263]

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.

[@PrettyGoodShot]
