The Davidson Defense Lightshow is an AR-9 upper build kit chambered in 9mm with a 4.5-inch medium profile ELD Performance barrel. The kit includes the upper receiver, barrel, handguard, and 9mm A2 birdcage flash hider. The Guntec honeycomb M-Lok handguard in anodized purple gives the forend a distinctive finish with a clean, accessory-ready profile. A BCG and charging handle are not included.
The ELD Performance 4.5-inch medium profile barrel is 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel with a nitride finish and a 1:10 twist rate. The muzzle is threaded at 1-in-2x36 and pairs with the included 9mm A2 birdcage flash hider in manganese phosphate finish. The Davidson Defense stripped upper receiver is 7075-T6 aluminum with an anodized finish, serving as the core front end structure for the AR-9 build. The 9mm configuration requires a 9mm bolt carrier group, which is not included with this upper build kit.
The Guntec 4-inch honeycomb freefloat M-Lok handguard is aircraft-grade aluminum with a Type II hard coat anodized purple finish, keeping the forend lightweight and compact. The honeycomb pattern reduces weight across the handguard body while the M-Lok slots provide attachment points for lights, grips, and other accessories. The handguard length is shorter than the 4.5-inch barrel, and the muzzle device extends beyond the handguard to provide the necessary clearance.
Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. BCG and charging handle are not included.
