Davidson Defense Suppressor Ready Paragon 16-inch Carbine-Gas 1:3 8.6 BLK AR-10 Freefloat M-Lok Handguard Rifle Full Build Kit

Suppressor Ready Paragon 16-inch 8.6 Blackout AR-10 Full Build Kit

The Paragon is a Full Build Kit built around a 16-inch steel barrel chambered in 8.6 Blackout, with a SOCOM profile finished in Parkerized. It's paired with an LR-308 billet upper receiver machined to the DPMS low-profile pattern. It pairs a 15-inch Crown Series low-profile LR-308 free-float M-LOK handguard with a threaded M18x1.5 muzzle left bare, giving this build a Suppressor Ready configuration since no muzzle device is installed on that threading. It runs on a carbine-length gas system. A Recoil Technologies LR-308 bolt carrier group, aluminum LR-308 charging handle, Recoil Technologies .308 Mil-Spec Lower Parts Kit, carbine buffer-system components, and a SOPMOD-style collapsible stock round out the rest of the rifle. The lower receiver is not included, leaving the buyer to select and supply that component separately.

Barrel and Gas System

The barrel runs 16 inches long, chambered in 8.6 Blackout and built from steel with a Parkerized finish and SOCOM profile. It carries a 1:3 twist rate, suited to stabilizing the heavy-for-caliber projectiles this chambering runs, along with an M18x1.5 muzzle thread. Gas cycles back to the action through a carbine-length system, running a stainless steel carbine-length gas tube and an .875-inch adjustable low-profile gas block machined from steel with a Melonite finish.

Upper Receiver and Handguard

The upper receiver is a billet unit built to the DPMS low-profile pattern, finished in Type III hardcoat black anodizing and machined without a forward assist. The ejection port door is included. Over the barrel sits a 15-inch Crown Series low-profile LR-308 handguard, a free-float design finished in black, using an M-LOK attachment system along its length.

Suppressor Ready

The barrel is threaded M18x1.5 at the muzzle, but no muzzle device is installed on that threading, which is what makes this build Suppressor Ready. The bare threaded muzzle leaves that end open for the buyer's own suppressor mounting solution.

Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle

A Recoil Technologies LR-308 bolt carrier group is included, finished in nitride. An aluminum LR-308 charging handle rounds out the upper's operating components.

Lower Parts Kit and Buffer System

A Recoil Technologies .308 Mil-Spec Lower Parts Kit covers the fire-control and lower-control internals needed once a lower receiver is on hand. Behind it sits a Mil-Spec heavy-duty six-position buffer tube, holding an LR-308 collapsible stock buffer weighing 3.76 ounces and an AR-10 carbine extra-power buffer spring made from 17-7 stainless steel. An AR-15 carbine castle nut and Mil-Spec AR-15/M16 receiver end plate secure the buffer tube assembly to the lower.

Stock

Capping off the rifle is a SOPMOD-style collapsible stock finished in black. It includes built-in storage compartments for small parts or batteries, along with integrated QD sling mounts for attaching a sling without extra hardware. It slides onto the six-position buffer tube included with this kit, giving the shooter adjustable length-of-pull for the final piece of the build.
