Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Diamondback DB15D legal to purchase in California?
Yes. The DB15D as configured for sale at Goodland Guns is California-compliant, shipped with a 10+1 capacity magazine.

Does the DB15D come with iron sights or an optic?
No — the DB15D does not include iron sights or an optic from the factory. The flat top Picatinny rail upper receiver makes it straightforward to mount your preferred red dot, scope, or backup iron sights. Many shooters pair it with a 1–4x LPVO or a compact red dot for versatile performance.
