Overview
The 16" 5.56 NATO barrel is the backbone of the DB15 platform. Machined from 4150 chrome-moly vanadium steel with a chrome-lined bore and chamber, this barrel is built for volume shooting without sacrificing accuracy.
The 1:8 twist rate is the universal choice, stabilizing everything from 55gr training ammo to 77gr match loads. Mid-length gas provides a smooth, consistent recoil impulse and extends bolt carrier group life compared to carbine-length systems.
Threaded 1/2-28 for standard AR-15 muzzle devices and direct-thread Ventra suppressors. Government profile for a balance of durability and weight.
