The Davidson Defense Aegis Lightweight is a 9mm AR-9 Upper Build Kit built around a compact 10.5-inch platform. The kit centers on a 10.5-inch stainless steel 9mm barrel with a 1:10 twist rate and 1/2x36 thread pitch, paired with an A2 birdcage flash hider and a black crush washer. The upper receiver is 7075-T6 aluminum with an anodized finish, M4 feed ramps, an AR-15 style ejection port cover, and a forward assist, paired with an ultra-lightweight minimalist freefloat M-LOK handguard with anti-rotation tabs. BCG and charging handle are not included.
The 10.5-inch barrel is chambered in 9mm and constructed from stainless steel with a 1:10 twist rate. The thread pitch is 1/2x36, which matches the included A2 birdcage flash hider. A black crush washer is included with the muzzle device. At 10.5 inches this barrel keeps the overall upper compact while covering the front end from muzzle device to upper receiver.
The upper receiver is 7075-T6 aluminum with an anodized finish, M4 feed ramps, an AR-15 style ejection port cover, and a forward assist. The ultra-lightweight minimalist freefloat M-LOK handguard features anti-rotation tabs and provides M-LOK attachment points along the body for accessory mounting. These two components define the exterior structure of the upper assembly on this AR-9 platform.
Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. BCG and charging handle are not included.
