Davidson Defense 'M.A.V. 15 in 9MM' 16-Inch AR-15 9mm Nitride Drop-In Trigger Ready Rifle Full Build Kit
The M.A.V. 15 Full Build Kit is built around a 16-inch 9mm (9x19) barrel machined from 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel in an H-Bar heavy profile, with a 1:10 twist and a Nitride finish. It is paired with a Vertex Enhanced Pistol Caliber billet upper receiver, a black free-float M-LOK handguard machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, and a black adjustable carbine stock molded from nylon-reinforced polymer. The kit ships with a 9mm Nitride bolt carrier group and a mil-spec quality M4 charging handle. It is listed as drop-in trigger ready, so the builder can add a drop-in trigger of their choice when completing the lower. The heavy profile adds a sturdy feel up front, and the 1:10 twist suits a wide range of 9mm bullet weights. Lower receiver is not included. Lower parts kit, pistol grip, buffer tube, buffer, recoil spring, castle nut, and end plate details were not supplied with this listing.

Barrel and Muzzle
The 16-inch barrel is machined from 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel in an H-Bar heavy profile and finished in Nitride, a surface treatment that adds hardness and corrosion resistance while leaving a clean, matte black look. Its 1:10 twist rate is suited to a wide range of 9mm bullet weights. The muzzle is threaded 1/2x36, the common thread pitch for 9mm devices, and carries the included 9mm A2 birdcage flash hider.
Upper Receiver and Handguard
The upper receiver is a Vertex Enhanced Pistol Caliber billet unit machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in Type III hard coat anodizing, a hard, wear-resistant surface that resists scratches and corrosion. It is built specifically for pistol-caliber applications. It is paired with a black free-float M-LOK handguard machined from aircraft-grade aluminum. As a free-float design, it leaves the barrel free of handguard contact, and the M-LOK slots give the builder room to mount lights, grips, handstops, and other accessories.
Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle
The included 9mm bolt carrier group is machined from 416 stainless steel with a Nitride finish, which adds hardness and corrosion resistance and helps the carrier stand up to repeated cycling. It uses an external extractor and accepts both Glock and Colt pattern magazines. It is paired with a mil-spec quality AR-15 M4 charging handle, completing the upper so it is ready to be matched with a compatible lower receiver.
Stock
A black adjustable carbine stock molded from nylon-reinforced polymer is included. Buffer tube compatibility was not supplied with this listing and should be confirmed before purchase.
Compatibility
This kit is built for AR-15 lower receivers chambered for 9mm. The lower receiver's magazine well pattern must match the bolt carrier group's Glock or Colt magazine compatibility. Handguard length, ejection port door and forward assist configuration, and what "drop-in trigger ready" includes were not supplied with this listing and should be confirmed before purchase.
