Two of Daniel Defense’s rifles are getting some color upgrades. Both the DDM4V7 and the DD5V1 will now be available in a Tornado Cerakote (grey color scheme) and MIL SPEC + (bronze color scheme). Both the Tornado Cerakote and MIL SPEC + colors are staple offerings in the Daniel Defense line of rifle models. It is a simple change or upgrade, but everybody likes a little variety or deviation from the run-of-the-mill black once in awhile.

The DDM4V7 is a brand new model for 2017 and it is off and running with 3 color offerings. The DD5V1 on the other hand has been around quite awhile. It is just now getting some more curb appeal. Both are great rifles if you can afford them. Daniel Defense just thought they needed a touch of color.
