We’ve been teasing you long enough. The new Adams Arms Evo Ultra Lite Uppers have begun to ship to select preferred dealers!!!!!

A new Ultra Lite Gas Piston Upper using our proprietary .625 diameter barrels!!!!!!!!!

These uppers are configured for the active shooter to be able to move faster and shoot longer than with a conventional AR platform upper.

Our proprietary .625 pencil barrels are the lightest on the market. They are Melonited inside and out for the highest corrosion resistance available.

The Melonite ads accuracy comparable to a stainless steel barrel and a true bore that does not have the inconsistencies and tolerance build up of hard chrome.

Based on our testing this barrel will outlast hard chrome doubling the life of the barrel.

Available in both the mid and the carbine length gas systems, these upper utilize the patented Adams Arms short stroke gas piston system along with the new lighter low profile gas block. The block’s design removes approximately 1 ounce of weight from the front of the AR to compliment the lighter barrel and Samson Evolution rail system.

The Adams Arms piston system in these uppers is the same proven product that goes out to all of our customers.

Each upper is complete with a one piece bolt carrier group, charging handle and Adams Arms Gas Piston System with the 3 position adjustable gas block installed and ready to go!

The new Samson Evolution rail series on these uppers is a completely modular design. Using a tubular base and top picatinny rail, there are multiple options for attachments to the rail. With all the options available you will have a fore end that you can truely make work for you the way you want it.

This is the first .625 gas piston upper and is the lightest gas piston upper on the market today. Weighing approximately 4.2 lbs you save almost a pound when compared to a similar tactical product. The lighter weight means faster movement and less work to carry it all day.

Each Ultra Lite Evo Upper will come with 2 2” attachable rails, 1 4” attachable rail, and the Adams Arms Comp. With the Adams Arms Comp attached your rifle will have virtually no muzzle rise so not only will it be quicker on target but it will stay on target better for follow up shots.

These uppers will retail at $1197 and have begun to ship to select preferred dealers.

I worked for Walt Langendorfer and I may have made some of those parts in the above post. I just found a Rhino piston in my basement that was never installed. When Walt shut down his shop over 5,000 complete Rhino Systems were tossed in a dumpster. The clean out crew did not know what they were and tossed them. I found out a week after his shop was cleaned out.

I had a Rhino System on one of my Colt SP1. It shot great and had no problems keeping tite groups at 100 yards..

Any chance for some shorter barrels, say 12.5 or so?

Will a shorter version and different caliber be in the future? A 10.5 or 11.5 6.8 spc II would be smoking.

Right now we are only doing the 16" barrels but the idea of going shorter has been thrown around here ... so we'll see.

Here is a link to where I tested 3 Gas Piston uppers (very non scientific test) The Adams Arms Ultra Lite Piston was great!

do you have a set up like the lower picture for sale I'd like one where the rail covers the start of my suppressor

Actually Samson makes an add on accessory to do that. It is called the Samson 4" rail Extension. Here are some pictures of how it will look.

I'm not sure you're tracking what the implication of the term "active shooter" is. Pretty funny, though. Knew what you meant, and not criticizing by any means...just wanted to point out a funny slip up.
