Learn about the Kastle DB-226 Diving Board's key features, mounting options, and setup tips for attaching a laser or thermal device to your firearm.

Quick answer

The Kastle DB-226 Diving Board is a rugged Picatinny adapter that lets you mount a laser, thermal, or other device in front of your optic. Key features include its 7075-T651 aluminum body and MIL-SPEC hardcoat anodizing, and setup is straightforward with simple tools.

What makes the DB-226 different from a standard rail extension?

Unlike a generic rail extension, the DB-226 is machined from 7075-T651 aluminum and Type III MIL SPEC Hardcoat Anodized for durability. It's designed specifically to work with Kastle's MICRO-226 and ACRO-226 optic mounts, creating a unified platform for your optic and forward-mounted device.

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.
