The Diamondback DB15 delivers reliable AR-15 performance with distinctive tiger stripe camo receivers that stand out from standard black finishes. This carbine combines proven direct impingement operation with quality Magpul furniture for enhanced ergonomics and durability.
What Makes This Different
The tiger stripe camo pattern on both upper and lower receivers provides effective concealment in woodland environments while maintaining the corrosion resistance of standard anodized finishes. Unlike basic carbines with polymer furniture, this configuration includes genuine Magpul MOE carbine stock and grip for superior durability and comfort. The 16-inch barrel length optimizes velocity for 5.56 NATO ammunition while remaining compact enough for tactical applications.
Key Features
- Tiger stripe camo anodized aluminum receivers for enhanced concealment
- 16-inch chrome moly vanadium barrel with 1:7 twist rate
- Magpul MOE carbine stock with multiple length-of-pull positions
- Magpul MOE grip with secure storage compartment
- Standard mil-spec trigger group and bolt carrier group

Field performance centers on the proven direct impingement gas system that cycles reliably with both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition. The carbine-length gas system reduces felt recoil compared to pistol-length systems while maintaining consistent cycling across various ammunition weights. Accuracy potential reaches 2-3 MOA with quality ammunition, suitable for hunting applications out to 300 yards or precision training scenarios.
