Precision, reliability, and modularity are the core demands for a defensive semi-auto platform. Whether you’re building a capable range rifle or a duty-ready carbine, knowing how a rifle is engineered helps you pick a tool that performs day in and day out.

ADAMS ARMS VOODOO DARK MOON 5.56 blends tactical features with a distinctive rail design. The Dark Moon features a unique cut on the rail and, like its close relative the Witch Doctor, includes a 1913 Picatinny rail flat with a dry lube internal finish—an internal surface treatment intended to reduce friction for smoother operation. This rifle is built to cycle a variety of ammunition reliably and serves equally well as a baseline for optics and accessories or as a simple workhorse you reach for every day. Shop this product

Key features

The Dark Moon ships in 223 REM/5.56MM NATO and accepts a single 30‑round magazine, giving a standard-capacity option for training and defensive scenarios. It uses a 16″ Parkerized M4 barrel with a 1:7 twist and A2 flash hider—combining proven durability with stabilization for a wide weight range of bullets.

Receivers and finish

Forged 7075‑T6 receivers and Type III Class II hard‑coat anodizing provide high-strength construction and corrosion resistance for sustained field use. Those materials are common in high-end builds because they balance weight and durability.

Handguard and stock

The ergonomic free-float M-LOK rail gives a modular mounting platform while the unique rail cut adds character and utility. The M4 6-position adjustable stock offers immediate length-of-pull adjustment for use with body armor or varying shooter sizes.
