Frequently asked questions

What devices can I mount on the DB-226?

The DB-226 uses an M1913 Picatinny rail section, so it fits most major thermal and IR/visible laser platforms that have a standard Picatinny interface. Check your device's mounting interface before purchase.

How do I attach the DB-226 to my optic mount?

The DB-226 is designed to bolt directly onto the front of Kastle's MICRO-226 or ACRO-226 optic mounts. Use the provided screws and a hex driver; torque to manufacturer specs (typically 15-20 in-lbs). Ensure the mount is clean and free of debris. Always verify screw length to avoid bottoming out or damaging threads.

Will the DB-226 affect my optic's zero?

The DB-226 attaches to the optic mount, not the barrel or receiver, so it should not shift your optic's zero. However, adding a heavy device may affect balance; confirm your mount's weight rating.
