Product Overview
The Diamondback DB15 AR Pistol in 7.62x39mm offers a compact, technically robust platform engineered for specific applications requiring a short-barreled rifle alternative. Constructed from proven materials and integrating precision-machined components, this pistol delivers reliable performance for experienced firearm enthusiasts and competitive shooters seeking a compact 7.62x39mm system.
Key Features
Barrel and Gas System
The DB15 AR Pistol integrates a 7-inch heavy profile barrel, precision-machined from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel. This material choice, combined with a Black Nitride finish, enhances barrel life, corrosion resistance, and surface hardness. The 1:9.5 right-hand twist rate is specified for optimal stabilization of common 7.62x39mm projectile weights. A pistol-length gas system is employed to cycle the action reliably within this compact barrel length, channeling gases efficiently through the A2 flash hider, threaded 5/8 x 24, to mitigate muzzle flash.
Receiver Construction
Both the upper and lower receivers are forged from 7075-T6 aluminum, a high-strength alloy selected for its durability and structural integrity under operational stress. The A3 flattop upper receiver facilitates direct optics mounting. The lower receiver, designated by Diamondback as “Carbon,” maintains the robust forged 7075-T6 aluminum construction, ensuring consistent fitment and performance across all components.
Bolt Carrier Group (BCG)
The bolt carrier group features a Mil-Spec 8620 carrier, which has undergone shot-peening and magnetic particle inspection (MPI). These processes confirm material integrity and mitigate potential stress risers, ensuring reliable operation and extended service life under sustained use conditions.
Ergonomics and Modularity
The DB15 AR Pistol is equipped with a 6-inch M-LOK handguard, providing a secure interface for direct attachment of accessories without unnecessary bulk. A Magpul MOE Grip is installed for enhanced weapon control and shooter comfort. The buffer system terminates in a padded buffer tube, offering a functional and ergonomic brace solution for this pistol configuration. Sights are not included, allowing users to select an optic solution tailored to their specific requirements.
Feeding and Trigger
A 28-round CPD magazine is supplied, ensuring ample capacity. The trigger group utilizes a standard Mil-Spec trigger, providing a consistent and predictable interface for shot execution.
