Diamondback Firearms Introduces TALO Exclusive DB15 Rifle with Custom Cerakote Finish

Diamondback Firearms introduces a TALO-exclusive DB15 rifle developed in collaboration with TALO Distributors. The rifle features a custom Cerakote finish in a MOTLEY mix of Desert Sage and Gun Metal Gray, complemented by Magpul Stealth Gray furniture and a Viridian VENTA green dot. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, the rifle is available now through TALO distributors.

The custom Cerakote color scheme gives this DB15 the individual character it earned. Desert Sage and Gun Metal Gray create contrast across the finish, while the Stealth Gray grip and stock complement the colors. Developed with TALO, the rifle brings this exclusive finish and selected components together in a complete DB15 Carbon configuration.

The rifle includes a Magpul MOE grip and MOE SL-K Carbine Stock, both in Stealth Gray. A Viridian VENTA green dot, and a 30-round Magpul Gen M3 PMAG in MCB completes the package. The furniture and optic give consumers a ready to run complete package.

The DB15 has a 16-inch, 4150 CrMoV barrel with a black nitride finish and a 1:8 right-hand twist. A carbine-length gas system pairs with a shot-peened, magnetic particle inspected mil-spec 8620 BCG. The A3 flattop upper features forged 7075-T6 aluminum construction and T-marks, paired with a 7075-T6 aluminum DB15 Carbon lower.

A 15-inch M-LOK handguard includes texture pads, a full Picatinny rail, front and rear QD attachment points, and a hand stop. The rifle also includes a standard mil-spec trigger and an A2 flash hider with 1/2-28 muzzle threads. Overall weight is 6.7 pounds, with a length of 32.75 inches collapsed and 36 inches extended.

"We wanted to give this DB15 major features and some personality," said Dave Larson, Marketing Director at Diamondback Firearms. "There's a little MOTLEY PEW in this one. Working with TALO, we paired the custom Cerakote finish with Stealth Gray Magpul furniture and a Viridian green dot to bring consumers a complete package."

"Our dealers look to TALO for firearms that offer their customers something distinctive," said Kane Cannedy, Executive Director at TALO Distributors. "This collaboration brings a well-equipped DB15 configuration to that selection. We are pleased to work with Diamondback on this exclusive and offer it through our member distributors."

The TALO-exclusive DB15, SKU DB1780K991, carries an MSRP of $928.00 and is available now through TALO distributors. Dealers can contact their TALO distributor for ordering information. Consumers can ask their local firearms dealer about the exclusive DB15.
