Diamondback Firearms DB15 5.56x45mm 16" AR Rifle - Black (Model: DB1731K071)
Diamondback
The Diamondback Firearms DB15 5.56x45mm is a compact, pistol-length AR carbine built on a platform that doesn't compromise on quality or shootability. With a 10-inch barrel, this rifle delivers the handling speed of a short rifle while maintaining solid velocity in the most common intermediate cartridge. It's at home for close-quarters shooting, hunting hogs or varmints where rifle mobility matters, or simply exploring what a compact 5.56 platform can do.
Diamondback barrels are known for holding tolerances, and this one is a 4150 CrMov steel with black nitride finish—a no-nonsense choice that resists corrosion and won't break the bank. The 1:8 twist rate handles a wide range of bullet weights effectively. A pistol-length gas system keeps the receiver impulse manageable and pairs well with the short barrel. The forged 7075 T-6 aluminum upper and lower are lightweight and durable; the A3 flattop upper runs standard Picatinny, and the A2 grip is familiar, reliable plastic. The 6-inch M-LOK handguard gives you rail real estate without clutter, and everything comes ready to attach optics or accessories.
Out of the box, you get a 30-round P-Mag, an A2 flash hider, a shot-peened and magnetically particle-inspected MIL-spec BCG, and a buffer tube with foam pad—the essentials to function. No sights are installed, which means you can pick optics that suit your mission. Whether you're a competitive shooter, a hunter who values compact gear, or someone exploring short-barrel rifle options, the DB15 gives you real features at a realistic price point.

No, the DB15 ships without iron sights or optics. The A3 flattop upper receiver features standard Picatinny mounting for optics, so you can install a red dot, LPVO, or scope to match your intended use.
