Davidson Defense Left-Handed Aegis Lightweight 16.5-inch Mid-Length-Gas 1:7 5.56 NATO AR-15 Freefloat M-Lok Handguard Rifle Upper Build Kit

Left-Handed Aegis Lightweight 16.5-Inch Mid-Length-Gas 1-7 5.56 NATO AR-15 Freefloat M-LOK Handguard Rifle Upper Build Kit

This is a left-handed AR-15 upper build kit chambered in 5.56 NATO, built around a 16.5-inch medium profile steel barrel with a QPQ nitride finish, a 1-7 twist rate, and a mid-length gas system. The Black Diamond Series left-handed slick side billet aluminum upper receiver with a black anodized finish anchors the front end with a left-hand ejection port and a clean slick side exterior that omits the forward assist and dust cover from the receiver body. The mid-length stainless steel gas tube and micro low-profile steel gas block at .750 O.D. complete the gas system, and the 15-inch ultra-lightweight minimalist freefloat M-LOK handguard with a partial Picatinny top rail covers the forend. An A2 GI Birdcage flash hider at 1-2x28 closes out the muzzle end. BCG and charging handle are not included.

Upper Receiver and Barrel

The Black Diamond Series left-handed slick side billet aluminum upper receiver with a black anodized finish anchors the front end with a left-hand ejection port and a clean slick side exterior profile that omits both the forward assist and dust cover from the receiver body. The 16.5-inch medium profile steel barrel brings a QPQ nitride finish and a 1-7 twist rate to the 5.56 NATO chamber, threaded at 1-2x28. The mid-length stainless steel gas tube and micro low-profile steel gas block at .750 O.D. run a mid-length gas system along the 16.5-inch barrel, a well-matched gas system length for this barrel profile and chambering. The 15-inch ultra-lightweight minimalist freefloat M-LOK handguard surrounds the barrel and gas system along the forend with a partial Picatinny top rail running along the top of the handguard and M-LOK slots along the remaining handguard body for accessory attachment. The handguard does not include anti-rotation tabs, a design characteristic of this specific unit.

Muzzle Device

The A2 GI Birdcage flash hider threads onto the 1-2x28 muzzle end of the barrel. The included black 1-2-inch crush washer seats at the barrel shoulder and completes the muzzle hardware for this kit.
