The Diamondback DB10 Carbon Series .308 Winchester rifle in black (Diamondback part no. DB1018C001) is the entry-level DB10, a 16-inch .308 AR with Magpul furniture and a 15-inch M-LOK handguard. A light-profile 1:10 twist barrel with a mid-length direct impingement gas system is paired with an A2 .30 caliber flash hider threads on at 5/8×24. The forged 7075-T6 aluminum receivers carry a black hard-coat anodized finish, and a 20-round Magpul Gen M3 PMAG is included. It is a sensible choice for hunters, range shooters and anyone moving up from a 5.56 AR to a larger cartridge.
