The American Defense UIC MOD2 in .223 Wylde (brand part no. UICR5BLK14M2MLOK-HUX) is the flagship rifle in the American Defense lineup, built around a 14.5-inch barrel. American Defense Mfg equips the MOD2 with its patented ambidextrous controls, letting shooters actuate the bolt catch, release, and magazine release from either side while keeping constant contact with the grip. Every MOD2 ships with a precision hand-lapped Criterion barrel, a black finish, and a HUXWRX flash hider for reduced signature and felt recoil. The .223 Wylde chamber lets owners run both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition through the same rifle. Among AR rifles, the UIC MOD2 suits duty and competition shooters who want American Defense’s full ambidextrous control set.
