The Davidson Defense Marathon 14.5" Carbine-Gas 5.56 NATO AR-15 Pistol Upper Build Kit is built for strength, reliability, and performance. It features a 14.5" 4150 CrMoV steel barrel with a phosphate finish, government profile, 1:7 twist rate, and a carbine-length gas system for consistent cycling. The 6061-T6 aluminum upper receiver and aircraft-grade M-LOK handguard offer lightweight durability and accessory compatibility. With a 0.750 gas block size and 1/2x28 thread pitch, this kit is ideal for builders looking to pin and weld their own muzzle device to meet the legal 16" overall barrel length requirement—making it a ready platform for compliant rifle builds.
