I'm not sure what "does all their own parts...in house" means, but I'd be really surprised if DB has started manufacturing bolts, carriers, barrels & receivers, in-house. Assembled from US made parts, sure.
Notwithstanding that AR specs are public knowledge, "an AR is an AR is an AR", and building a functional AR is probably easier than building a functional 1911-- DB customer service isn't outstanding. Roll the dice on whether you might need it.
AR prices will continue falling. There are makers with good support reps out there, as well.
Edit: If I wanted to buy a $499 AR tonite, I'd go with this one, before taking the chance of dealing with DB customer service again:
