ADCOR A-556 Elite – SHOT 2014

ADCOR A-556 Elite - SHOT 2014 - TheArmsGuide.com

February 11, 2014 by Kevin 2 Comments

You’ve seen plenty of AR-15 style rifles, but have you seen this one? I hadn’t. I encountered the A-556 Elite during SHOT Show Industry Day at the range and got the chance to put a few rounds through one. Shooting a new rifle has its own charm, but part of the fun in the experience for me was getting to shoot moving targets for the first time. It’s trickier than I thought! You can see how I did in the video above (where you may notice that I am unused to using the A-556 Elite’s forward charging handle… old habits die hard, eh?). Here are some of the specs on the ADCOR A-556 Elite:

  • gas piston operated, with multi-position regulator
  • free-floating chrome-lined barrel, 1:7 twist
  • custom adjustable stock
  • flattop upper
  • additional forward mounted ambi/reversible charging handle
  • tool-less field strip

    It looks like a good idea, but like you say once you get that old muscle memory set it’s hard to break.
