Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition in the DB15BG?
Yes. The DB15BG is chambered in 5.56 NATO, which means it safely accepts both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington cartridges. Note that a rifle chambered only in .223 Rem should not fire 5.56 NATO — but the reverse is perfectly safe, giving you greater ammunition flexibility at the range or in the field.
Does the DB15BG come with iron sights or an optics rail?
The DB15BG ships without iron sights, so you'll need to add your own optic or backup iron sights (BUIS). The V Rail handguard and flat-top upper receiver provide a standard Picatinny rail interface, making it compatible with a wide range of red dots, scopes, magnifiers, and folding BUIS from brands like Magpul, Troy, and others.
What magazine capacity will this rifle ship with when purchased in California?
Due to California's magazine capacity restrictions, the DB15BG sold at Goodland Guns will be configured with a 10-round compliant magazine rather than the standard 30-round Magpul PMAG. The rifle itself is listed as 10+1 capacity for California customers. Always ensure your accessories and configuration comply with current California state law before purchasing.
