Diamondback Firearms DB15 5.56 NATO Flat Dark Earth AR-15 Rifle

A: Yes Sir. The barrel is stamped 5.56NATO so it will fire both 5.56 and .223 no problem.

A: Any AR 15 stamped 5.56 NATO will shoot .223 rounds but not the other way around

A: Yes it will you can shoot .223 in a 5.56 nato barrel bud do not shoot 5.56 nato in a .223 only barrel

A: Yes it is a good quality entry level AR 15 rifle. get it, shoot it a lot and then change what you want on it or build a AR 15 to suit you

A: Scott, yes Sir. I have three Diamondback AR's, two 5,56 and one .308 and they have been excellent. Just follow the break in and maintenance recommendations with a good maintenance, cleaning and lube schedule and you will be fine.Cheers and Happy Holidays!

A: Scott, yes the Diamondback is a great entry level AR15 that won't break the bank. Have a great day!

A: Same deal Melvin, no Sir. It would need to be a Heavy Profile Barreled AR. Some excellent AR guidelines here ; blackanchorarmory.com/md-compliant-ars.html

A: Melvin, no it would need a heavy profile barrel, this has a medium barrel. >>> https://diamondbackfirearms.com/portfolio/db15ypfde/

A: Orvil, DB does not recommend Steel-cased, lacquer coated ammunition. The problem with this ammunition is the lacquer coating on the case. As the barrel heats up, the lacquer turns to a soft, varnish substance and upon cool down, becomes very solid and difficult to remove. This effectively creates an undersized chamber and creates understandable problems. That being said, on the DB forum, people are reporting no problems with steel cased ammo. >>> http://www.diamondbackforum.com/index.php?topic=4140.0

A: Orvil, I happen to own two Diamond Back AR-16's and have not had any issues with steel cased ammo. I have shot Wolf steel case in polymer coated, lacquer coated and zinc coated, Hornady steel cased without issue. You can take this for what it is worth as I doubt you will be doing drum dumps to heat your rifle up to melt anything. Clean it frequently and you will be fine. Cheers and stay safe!

A: This should do fine with steel cased ammo. As with any firearm you may find it likes certain brands better than others. So I'd recommend to just grab a couple boxes of different kinds of steel cased ammo and see Wich one it runs reliably. Hope this helps.

A: Julio, if the gun is rated for 5.56, it can shoot either 5.56 or .223 cartridges. If it is rated for .223 it can only shoot .223. The DB15 will shoot either rounds safely. Have a great day!

A: Firearms rated for 5.56 can shoot both 223 or 5.56. now 223 chambered firearms can only shoot 223 because 5.56 has higher pressure and can cause damage to the firearm or worse. 5.56 is the military version of 223. Just remember if the barrels stamped 5.56 it can shoot both. If it's stamped 223 it can only shoot 223. Hope this helps.
