Diamondback DB15 5.56 NATO 16" 30rd Bronze Rifle

This DB15 is Diamondback's 16 inch AR-15 in a Bronze Cerakote finish, a color that gives a plain carbine some character without going loud. The rifle is chambered in 5.56 NATO and handles 223 Remington as well. A 15 inch M-LOK handguard covers most of the barrel, so there is room for a light, a vertical grip, a bipod adapter or sling points wherever you want them. The furniture is polymer, and one magazine comes with the rifle.

Diamondback builds the DB15 around the proven direct impingement AR-15 system, with receivers and parts machined in its own CNC shop. That means standard AR-15 controls, standard magazines and a huge aftermarket for triggers, stocks and optics if you want to change things down the road. The upper is a flat top, so mount a red dot for quick close range work or a magnified optic for longer shots. The 16 inch barrel keeps the rifle handy in a truck or a hallway while giving 5.56 the velocity it needs. It is a good pick for a first AR, a home defense carbine, or a range rifle that looks a little different from everyone else's.
