Adcor Defense, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Baltimore, Maryland based Adcor Industries, Inc. For over 25 years, Adcor Industries has been a national defense contract supplier and it is one of the few firearm manufacturers in the country that are certified quality standard AS9100. We build 9 of the critical components for the Trident missile system, radar system components for the F-16 Fighter, and other components for the U.S. military small arms industrial base.

With its diverse manufacturing capabilities and expertise as a defense industry supplier, Adcor was in an ideal position to design and build its own unique version of the M4 automatic rifle.  Adcor Defense, Inc. was formed for that purpose.

The product of years of hands-on experience and experimentation, the ADCOR ELITE™ is not a “new and improved” rifle. It has a patented (Patent # 8,210,089) revolutionary gas piston system and other key patented features that set it apart from all other M4-type rifles.

All components for the ADCOR ELITE™ are manufactured in the U.S.A. and it is built in the Adcor Defense factory in Baltimore, Maryland.
