KFF Defense assesses this rifle as a robust, capable system for discerning shooters seeking a .308 platform.
Key Features
Precision Barrel System
Central to the DB10’s performance is its 18-inch 416 stainless steel fluted barrel. The medium contour profile provides a balance of rigidity and weight reduction, while the fluting aids in heat dissipation during sustained fire, preserving barrel harmonics. Chambered for .308 Winchester, this barrel is designed for consistent projectile velocity and ballistic stability.
Robust Receiver Construction
The DB10 features precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminum receivers, selected for their optimal strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to operational stresses. The upper receiver integrates seamlessly with the 15-inch M-Lok handguard, providing extensive attachment points for modern accessories. The lower receiver is distinguished by its Diamondback Black Gold finish, combining aesthetic distinction with the inherent durability of the 7075-T6 alloy.
Optimized Gas System and Bolt Carrier
A mid-length gas system is utilized to mitigate felt recoil and optimize cyclic rate, ensuring smooth and reliable extraction and feeding. The bolt carrier group features a shot-peened Mil-Spec 8620 bolt carrier, a critical component selected for its enhanced durability and resistance to fatigue under cyclic operation.
Ergonomic Furniture and Accessory Integration
This rifle is equipped with Magpul furniture designed for shooter interface and adaptability. The Magpul CTR adjustable stock provides a secure cheek weld and length-of-pull customization, while the Magpul MOE-K2 pistol grip offers an improved angle for modern shooting stances. The 15-inch M-Lok handguard offers versatile accessory mounting capabilities without unnecessary bulk.
