ADCOR Defense BEAR
The ADCOR Defense BEAR (Brown Enhanced Automatic Rifle) is a very nifty new piston-operated AR-15 carbine. The piston is permanently attached to the bolt carrier (think AK-47) and it travels through a machined boss in the upper receiver, which prevents the problem of carrier tilt. The BEAR includes both the standard AR-15 rear charging handle and a forward, folding and non-reciprocating charging handle.
The 14.5″ barreled model weighs 6.85 lbs and the 20″ model weighs 7.80 lbs. Barrel lengths available will be 10.5, 14.5, 16.1, 18 and 20″
The BEAR will go on sale later this year.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Adcor has trouble maintaining replacement parts for warranty repairs. My upper never worked due to a crack in the piston base, poor quality control to let that out the door. Now, it has been almost 90 days that I have been waiting for them to get and send out a replacement so I can have a working rifle. I bought the upper last year and built a rifle around it. It would be nice to have a working rifle after a year and over $3000 was invested. I cannot recommend Adcor, the customer service is lacking, they don't return calls, and they don't have spare parts.
Their guns and Adcor suck, I purchased the Bear AR-15 and from day one it kept jamming, I called the company and talked to Lori Quaranta and another man and sent them videos of the gun jamming and they said that they would send me a box and they would take a look at it. I have been waiting 3 week, sent numerous emails and left telephone calls and they refuse to respond. I am filing a complaint with the attorney General and the BBB. Do NOT waste your time with this company.
