I know everyone has a hard on for Geissele uppers right now (including myself as I own a 11.5” SBR Geissele). However, don’t discount Daniel Defense, as they brought out CHF chrome lined, high quality mid-length gas barrels to the US market long before others. Their gas port sizes are also good for suppressed use IMHO. This is my 16” DD4V7 upper, circa 2018-19ish, mated to a BCM A5 lower (same time frame). I am running it with a Geissele SSA trigger, A5H”1.5” weight buffer (Slash heavy buffer with custom weights….I find the weight between a A5H1 and H2 to be perfect using 5.56 NATO pressure ammo, zero gas to the face), Sprinco rifle spring, Surefire RC2 5.56 suppressor. I probably have over 2500 rounds through this gun, and it also went to a carbine class. ZERO issues, almost all suppressed. The optic I currently have on it is a new S&B Short Dot Dual 1-8x in a Reptilia mount: Attached File Shooting 77 grain IMI Mk 262 loads off a sand bag and a crummy padded table, I got this ten shot 100 yard group: Attached File Who needs a Recce rifle with a stainless barrel? I can probably tighten the group up with practice and better support (I work too damn much). Seriously though. I have zero reasons to buy another 16” AR until I burn this one out. Thanks Daniel Defense for making a great product, and I also yell kudos for your DD5V3, another A+ rifle thus far for me (pic is from a different day, and yes my set up is almost the same): Attached File Now I need to work less, shoot more…..but then I won’t be able to buy more guns and ammo

The scope is a 1-8 Schmidt and Bender short dot dual. Hence, I can use it for just about anything < 300-400 yards in with my crap eyes. Yes with 77 grain SMKs, I fail to see why you can't use this as a Recce rifle. A Leupold Mark 5 2-10x would be a good start, or something with even more power depending on your needs. |
