American Defense Manufacturing/Faxon 14.5 Mid-Length Build

[msnyder0609]

So, I've been away on work in California for the last few months and during my downtime I found myself getting the itch to build another 14.5 Mid-Length. The itch got worse after I started looking into the UIC Carbines from American Defense Manufacturing. Aesthetically, I thought they were beautiful rifles, functionally I thought having a fully ambi lower would be nice as well.

Because I had a a good amount of parts on hand already, I decided to do my own build off the ADM receiver set as opposed to purchasing a complete rifle. Also, with wanting to start taking some classes in the near future, I built this rifle with that consideration in mind. Flash hider instead of a brake as not to be obnoxious to anyone next to me, pinned to 16.1 so I can travel to my neighboring states without having to worry about an SBR. That being said, As soon as I found the receiver set in stock, I pulled the trigger and was off to get the rest of the parts I'd need to put this baby together once I got back from CA.

Also, one of the ADM carbines I saw had an OD green cerekote, so on this one I decided to try my hand with a rattle can as I didn't want to wait for that or spend the $$$ at this time. I used Aluma Hyde II for the paint. I think it turned out pretty good. Let me know what you think!


Full parts list as follows:

ADM Billet Ambi Lower Receiver

Now that I have some pretty pictures, it's time to get it out to the range and make sure it runs like a champ. Thanks for looking!
