The Diamondback DB15 CA Compliant rifle delivers reliable semi-automatic performance while meeting California's strict compliance requirements. This 5.56x45mm NATO chambered rifle features a fixed magazine system with lock and release mechanism, eliminating the need for complex workarounds while maintaining operational functionality.
What Makes This Different
Unlike many California-compliant rifles that sacrifice ergonomics for legal compliance, the DB15 maintains standard AR-15 handling characteristics through its Magpul MOE furniture and M-LOK rail system. The 16-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for 5.56 NATO ammunition while the carbine-length gas system ensures reliable cycling. Factory compliance eliminates guesswork about legal modifications.
Key Features
- Fixed magazine lock and release system for California compliance
- 16-inch chrome moly vanadium steel barrel with 1:8 twist rate
- 12-inch M-LOK free-float handguard for accessory mounting
- Magpul MOE adjustable carbine stock with multiple length positions
- Magpul MOE pistol grip for improved control and comfort
- Flat-top upper receiver with full-length Picatinny rail
- A2-style flash hider reduces muzzle flash and recoil
The carbine-length gas system provides smooth cycling across various ammunition weights from 55 to 77 grains. Range performance remains consistent whether running steel-cased training rounds or match-grade ammunition. The free-float handguard maintains barrel harmonics for accuracy while providing ample real estate for optics, lights, and forward grips. Weather-resistant hard coat anodized finish protects against corrosion in humid coastal conditions.
