Range Report: Adcor Defense B.E.A.R. Elite

by Woody

In an accompanying story about the Army winding down its Individual Carbine Competition, one of the firearms listed in the ICC program was the Adcor Defense Brown Enhanced Automatic Rifle (B.E.A.R.), made by a small U.S. player compared to Beretta, FN, H&K, and other global arms giants. About a year ago, I had a chance to shoot a civilian semi-auto B.E.A.R. (#201-2040E) extensively, and after the experience, I bought one. It currently lists for $2,082.95 (#76044) at Cheaper Than Dirt!.
Adcor Industries, Inc., was founded in 1990 by Demetrios Stavrakis. The company is a national-defense contract supplier, building components for the Trident missile system, radar system components for the F16 fighter, and other components for U.S. military small arms. Its Adcor Defense subsidiary makes several versions of the B.E.A.R. Elite rifles, in barrel lengths of 10.5, 12.5, 14.5, 16, and 18 inches, along with other model lines, including a gas-impingement version called the GI Elite.
B.E.A.R._0161

Michael J. Brown is the inventor and namesake for the Brown Enhanced Automatic Rifle. It has a patented gas-piston system (#065111.00128) and other patented features. All components for the B.E.A.R. are manufactured in the U.S.A., and the rifle is built in the Adcor Defense factory in Baltimore.
