Looking at a DD5V5. Whats the differences between the generations? And how can you tell which rifle is which?

I think the V1 and V2s were the first gen, and then V3 V4 and V5s are the second gen.

When we launched the DD5s back in 2015, we only offered the V1 (16" .308) and V2 (18" .308).  Initially, Keymod handguards were the only option but we later added M-LOK Handguard Options.  All V1 and V2 Rifles were equipped with Geissele SSA Triggers.

With the Launch of Gen 2 Rifles (V3 16", V4 18", and V5 20"), we introduced two new calibers, 6.5 CM and .260 Rem.  We also removed the Geissele SSA and KeyMod Handguards and added a 2 position adjustable gas block.  We also quite a few changes to the Bolt Carrier Group to include a DLC Coating.

Would you have a .260 Rem barrel for the Delta V laying around somewhere?  I would love to have one!  I have a Delta V Pro in .308 and would live to have the capability to shoot the necked down version.

We've not made any .260 barrels for the Delta 5 but we do have 6.5 Creedmoor barrels.

I do know.  I have multiple .308 Win rifles and a few .260 Rem ones already.  The ability to simply neck down plentiful .308 brass instead of buying all factory 6.5 C is favorable.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure DD also went to a different receiver extension AND therefore buffer and buffer spring length/system on the Gen2 DD5's?
Thanks,
