Davidson Defense Aegis w/Gauntlet Arms Brace 8-inch 9MM Freefloat M-Lok Handguard Pistol Full Build Kit

Aegis w-Gauntlet Arms Brace 8-Inch 9mm Freefloat M-LOK Handguard Pistol Full Build Kit

This is an AR-9 pistol full build kit chambered in 9mm, centered on an 8.3-inch medium profile steel barrel with a black nitride finish, a 1-10 twist rate, and a direct blowback system with no gas tube or gas block. The 7075-T6 aluminum AR-15 stripped upper receiver with a black anodized finish, M4 feed ramps, a standard AR-15 forward assist, and a standard AR-15 .223 and 5.56 ejection port door assembly anchors the front end. The 7-inch ultra-lightweight minimalist M-LOK handguard with a full-length Picatinny top rail covers the compact forend. A 9mm pass-through A2 Birdcage flash hider in black at 1-2x28 closes out the muzzle end. A 9mm black nitride bolt carrier group in 8620 alloy steel with an external extractor and Glock and Colt pattern magazine compatibility, and a Mil-Spec M4 charging handle complete the upper side. The lower completion package covers a complete Mil-Spec AR-15 lower parts kit, a heavy-duty pistol buffer tube, an AR-15 9mm carbine buffer, a standard AR-15 carbine recoil spring, a Mil-Spec AR-15 and M16 receiver end plate, and a Mil-Spec AR-15 carbine castle nut. A Gauntlet Arms black polymer stabilizing brace closes out the rear end. Lower receiver not included.

Upper Assembly

The 7075-T6 aluminum AR-15 stripped upper receiver with a black anodized finish and M4 feed ramps forms the core of the front end, with a standard AR-15 forward assist and a standard AR-15 .223 and 5.56 ejection port door assembly built in. The 8.3-inch medium profile steel barrel brings a black nitride finish and a 1-10 twist rate to the 9mm chamber, threaded at 1-2x28. This upper operates on a direct blowback system, meaning there is no gas tube or gas block present or required. The 7-inch ultra-lightweight minimalist M-LOK handguard surrounds the barrel along the compact forend with a full-length Picatinny top rail for optics and accessory mounting and M-LOK slots along the remaining handguard surfaces for additional accessory attachment.

Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle

The 9mm black nitride bolt carrier group is machined from 8620 alloy steel with a black nitride finish and features an external extractor design specific to the AR-9 blowback platform. It is compatible with both Glock and Colt pattern magazines, giving the build flexibility in magazine selection at the lower receiver level. The Mil-Spec M4 charging handle pairs with the BCG inside the upper receiver to complete the upper interior and finish the front end of the build.

Muzzle Device

The 9mm pass-through A2 Birdcage flash hider in black threads onto the 1-2x28 muzzle end of the barrel. The included black crush washer seats at the barrel shoulder and completes the muzzle hardware for this kit.

Lower Completion Components

The complete Mil-Spec AR-15 lower parts kit covers the full internal lower component group, including the fire control group, magazine catch, bolt catch, and all associated pins and springs. The heavy-duty pistol buffer tube, AR-15 9mm carbine buffer, and standard AR-15 carbine recoil spring form the buffer system at the rear of the lower, matched to the pistol platform. The Mil-Spec AR-15 and M16 receiver end plate and Mil-Spec AR-15 carbine castle nut lock the buffer tube down cleanly at the rear of the lower receiver. The Gauntlet Arms black polymer stabilizing brace fits over the pistol buffer tube and closes out the rear end of the build with a fixed profile.

Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Lower receiver not included.
