Platform overview

The AMERICAN DEFENSE MFG. UIC MOD 1 is built around a 5.56 NATO chambering, offering common ammunition availability, predictable ballistics, and manageable recoil for rapid follow-up shots. The platform features a 14.5″ barrel permanently attached with an A2 flash hider to achieve a compliant 16″ overall length — a practical balance between close-quarters handling and ballistic performance.

Key features and why they matter

Free-float M-LOK handguard

A free-float M-LOK handguard provides rock-solid accessory mounting while improving heat dissipation and rifle balance. For mission-configurable setups, the handguard allows repeatable optic and light placement without pressure-induced POI shifts.

Ambidextrous controls and enhanced ergonomics

Fully ambidextrous controls, including an enlarged competition magwell, ambidextrous bolt and magazine releases, and a Raptor-LT ambidextrous charging handle, make manipulation intuitive from either shoulder. The Magpul MOE grip and MOE-SL stock increase shooter comfort and durability under high-round-count use.

Trigger, BCG, and recoil system

The ALG ACT trigger delivers a smooth, consistent pull for tighter shot groups. A QPQ nitride-finished bolt carrier group extends service life and reliability, while the ADM 10-position buffer tube with HD buffer improves recoil control and cycling consistency.
