Davidson Defense Split Second 16.5-inch Mid-Length 1:7 5.56 NATO AR-15 Rifle, Black Freefloat M-Lok Handguard

The Split Second 16.5" 5.56 NATO AR-15 Complete Rifle from Davidson Defense is built to deliver performance when every moment counts—because sometimes, all it takes is a split second. At the core of this rifle is the 16.5" “Satellite” barrel, crafted from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium and finished in QPQ nitride to handle heat, wear, and high-volume shooting without breaking a sweat. The 1:7 twist rate and mid-length gas system ensure smooth cycling and tight groups, shot after shot.

It features the sleek Davidson Defense "Panhead" billet upper and a lightweight, free-floating M-LOK handguard made from 6061-T6 aluminum, giving you tons of rail space without the bulk. The glass-filled polymer Gauntlet Arms Special Operations stock keeps things sturdy and comfortable, even during extended range time. A reliable multi-caliber BCG and classic GI birdcage flash hider round things out, keeping recoil and flash under control when timing matters most. And while it skips the iron sights, that’s just more reason to mount your favorite optic and zero in—your way, right away. Whether you're building your first rifle or adding a new favorite to the safe, the Split Second is ready to perform when it matters most.
