'Rogue Renegade' 16-Inch AR-15 5.56 NATO Stainless Rifle Upper Build Kit
The Rogue Renegade Upper Build Kit is built around an ELD Performance "Fiddler" 16-inch 5.56 NATO barrel machined from 416R stainless steel in an M4 profile, with a carbine-length gas system and a 1:8 twist. It is paired with a Davidson Defense mil-spec AR-15 upper receiver machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with M4 feed ramps, and a Davidson Defense "Avalon" 15-inch M-LOK handguard with slant port cutouts. A Recoil Technologies two-chamber muzzle brake in salt bath Nitride finishes the muzzle. The stainless barrel gives the build a corrosion-resistant look that stands apart from the usual black-finished barrel, and the 1:8 twist suits a wide range of bullet weights in 5.56 NATO. BCG and charging handle are not included.

Barrel and Gas System
The 16-inch "Fiddler" barrel is machined from 416R stainless steel in an M4 profile and chambered in 5.56 NATO, with a 1:8 twist rate suited to a wide range of bullet weights. It runs a carbine-length gas system through an Omega Mfg. stainless steel gas tube and a micro low-profile steel gas block sized for a .750-inch barrel, and the low-profile block helps it sit cleanly beneath the handguard. At the muzzle, 1/2x28 threads carry the included Recoil Technologies .280 muzzle brake, a two-chamber design finished in salt bath Nitride for added hardness and corrosion resistance.
Upper Receiver and Handguard
The upper receiver is a Davidson Defense mil-spec AR-15 unit machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with M4 feed ramps, a strong, lightweight alloy widely used for AR-15 receivers. It is paired with the Davidson Defense "Avalon" 15-inch M-LOK handguard. The slant port cutouts remove weight and give it a distinctive look, and the M-LOK slots give the builder room to mount lights, grips, handstops, and other accessories.
Compatibility
This kit is built for AR-15 lower receivers chambered in 5.56 NATO. Barrel finish, upper receiver finish, handguard material and free-float configuration, crush washer inclusion, and ejection port door and forward assist configuration were not supplied with this listing and should be confirmed before purchase. Because the BCG and charging handle are not included, they must be sourced separately to complete the upper.
