The Davidson Defense Marathon 14.5" Carbine-Gas 5.56 NATO AR-15 Pistol Full Build Kit is designed for builders seeking precision, reliability, and compliance-ready performance. It features a 14.5" government profile barrel made from 4150 CrMoV steel with a phosphate finish, 1:7 twist rate, and a carbine-length gas system paired with a 0.750 gas block for smooth, consistent cycling.
The included KAK Industry A2 Extended Flash Hider, when installed, brings the barrel length to meet rifle standards, making the kit pin-and-weld ready—though not yet permanently attached. The Black Diamond Series billet upper and 12" ultra-lightweight M-LOK handguard strike a balance between strength and weight. The kit also includes a Gauntlet Arms stabilizing brace, complete bolt carrier group, mil-spec charging handle, and heavy-duty pistol buffer tube—providing everything needed for a dependable and regulation-ready AR-15 build.
