I really like the forend and while I could control the piece well with the high forward hold, I also used the BCM Gunfighter forward grip with good results. I fired the rifle with iron sights during the preliminary evaluation. I have used several thousand of these rounds over the past decade and found them reliable and accurate enough for general target practice and sighting rifles in. The initial evaluation was undertaken with the Winchester USA 55-grain FMJ loading. 223 55 grain ammo to test out this Diamondback DB15. Of course, I’ll also run this rifle with several Magpul magazines as well. The polymer magazine locked into place properly and feed reliability was never a question. Like most AR-15 rifles, the DB15 is supplied with a single magazine. I am going to add a HiperFire trigger at a later date but for now, the standard trigger is plenty useful. The trigger is pressed and the sights properly aligned, the rifle fires and the trigger resets as the sights are re-aligned. After all, it isn’t about hosing down the target, but about getting a hit. The trigger was controllable offhand with excellent results in rapid fire. When firing the rifle from a benchrest, the trigger wasn’t as great a drawback, however, and I was able to obtain excellent results. While typical of modern production, the trigger is heavy at 6.25 pounds. If there is any shortcoming it is the two-stage-type AR-15 trigger. The Bravo Company buttstock is a good addition. The fit and finish are good, and the fitting of each part seems sound. The bolt carrier is well finished and the bolt carrier keys are properly staked in place. The rifle is a standard-length carbine with a 16-inch barrel.

You may not need this upgrade or you may choose another. These additions set me back just over $100-a bargain for the dividend. Most of us will add our own sights of choice, so the lack of iron sights isn’t a deficit.Īs for my personal rifle, I selected a judicious improvement, adding the Bravo Company Gunfighter stock and grip and a forward grip on the rail. The free-floating barrel is an aid in accuracy. The top rail accepts red dot optics, iron sights or optical sight, so the typical A2 front sight isn’t needed. The TruGlo Eminus scope has provided good results on several rifles. The primary advantage of the DB15 is the aluminum forend. With the Diamondback DB15 rifle you do not start with a GI gun, but a rifle that is ready to go for general use including recreation, hunting, and even 3Gun Competition. The Diamondback DB15 is a rifle with good features at a fair price. The other rifles should be similar in reliability and accuracy, and it is a personal decision on the features you want to have. I cannot comment on the less expensive or more expensive Diamondback products, but only on the rifle, I own. Today, it isn’t difficult to find a well-appointed rifle at a fair price.Īs an example, when you can obtain a Diamondback DB15 rifle from Cheaper Than Dirt ! for less than $650 with a proprietary forward rail, it should get your interest. Some of these parts have a prospectus for action that is pretty vague while others exhibit genuine utility. Standard M4 or GI types are functional but the advantages of aftermarket improvements cannot be ignored. Today, however, we have a buyer’s market. There have been political shifts, shortages, gluts, and even speculation that have affected the availability and price of the AR-15 rifle.
