Diamondback DB15 | 5.56 NATO | 16″ Barrel | DB1717K004

The Diamondback DB15 is an AR-style semi-automatic rifle built around a forged 7075-T6 upper and lower with a black hard coat anodized finish. It ships configured for modern sporting use with a 16-inch 4150 chrome-moly barrel finished in melonite/black nitride, a carbine-length gas system, A2 flash hider, and a 6-position mil-spec buttstock. This configuration is suitable for range-focused training and AR-platform sport shooting. For optics, a versatile option under $1,000 that pairs well with the DB15 is the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24, which covers close-to-mid ranges and mounts easily to the flattop receiver.
