Adcor Defense is proud to announce a new DI model that uses the same basic parts as the piston model. Forward charging handle and dust wiper are also features on this new rifle. In fact, you can change your piston gun to DI by just changing the carrier and removing the gas regulator/piston and replacing it with a 4 position gas regulator with integrated gas tube. These parts will be sold as a conversion kit. All other parts remain the same. Those customers that buy the new DI version can also change the gas system to piston by buying the piston conversion kit.
We feel this is as revolutionary of a design as our piston design. Those consumers who liked the features of our piston rifle but want a DI gas system can now have it. We are 60-90 days out on this new design. Pictures will be posted soon.  |

Nice, I assume that the DI version could be more affordable than the GP version or will they retail about the same?

It worries me slightly that Adcor would release a DI model. It seems to me that since their first offering to the market was a rugged, reliable piston system they would have no reason to go back a step and build a DI rifle. Unless they think that both systems are equal in performance. If they do in fact think that the piston system is better, then I see no reason for the DI model unless they just want a bigger share of the market.

I for one am very VERY VERY happy with their GP Elite carbine upper. I think this move detracts from what they originally intended. |

I'm pretty surprised by this.... figured they backed the whole concept of the GP as being a superior system. Seems like they'd be moving backwards by putting out a product that goes against that.

When the BEAR was announced on Arfcom there were many posts asking for ADCOR to produce a DI version. They said yes, so they are leveraging their development costs to address a market that is comfortable with the DI system but wants some of the features that the ADCOR piston AR has that no one else does. Its as simple as that & doesn't mean they're dropping their piston design.

I agree, there will always be some bitching. I'm looking forward to pics. This might be good for people that can't afford to go whole hog. Buy this DI system then add the piston when you can afford it. That is the way I have to do thing most of the time. Especially with a 15yoa boy who I duplicate just about everything. Got to train him up you know.

It's a business decision most likely. The DI AR should be less expensive than their GP due to the fact that there are no special parts like the unique barrels and carrier to produce. They should be able to sell the DI at a lower cost than the GP and during a poor economy having a lower cost product is not a bad thing. |
