The Andro Corp ACI-15 5.56 CQB 8 MOD 0 is a compact AR-15 semi-automatic rifle engineered for maximum maneuverability without sacrificing reliability or modularity. Manufactured in the USA by Andro Corp Industries, this premium configuration is designed for sport shooting, dynamic shooting disciplines, and users seeking a compact AR-platform rifle.
Chambered in 5.56×45 mm NATO (.223 Remington), the rifle operates using the proven Direct Impingement gas system. At its core is an 8" (203 mm) barrel made from high-quality 4150 CMV Melonite steel, offering outstanding durability and resistance to heat and wear. The 1:7 twist rate, built to military specifications, provides reliable stabilization for a wide range of bullet weights.
Instead of a standard A2 flash hider, the barrel is fitted with a high-performance RRD Dual Port muzzle brake, designed to effectively reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil during rapid fire. Reliable operation is ensured by a Pistol Length gas system with a low-profile gas block, optimized for the compact 8" (203 mm) barrel to deliver smooth and consistent cycling.
Both the upper and lower receivers are precision-machined from 7075-T6 forged aluminum, with the lower receiver protected by a Type III hard-coat anodized finish for exceptional strength and corrosion resistance. The upper receiver features a forward assist, dust cover, and a full-length Picatinny top rail, ready for the installation of iron sights, red dot optics, or rifle scopes.
The rifle is equipped with a free-floating M-LOK handguard, providing ample mounting space for tactical accessories such as weapon lights, laser aiming devices, vertical or angled foregrips, and sling attachments.
Ergonomics are further enhanced by the lightweight Mission First Tactical (MFT) Minimalist collapsible stock and the MFT Engage pistol grip, ensuring a secure and comfortable hold. All controls—including the magazine release, bolt catch, safety selector, and charging handle—follow the mil-spec standard, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket AR-15 components.
Feeding is provided by a detachable 30-round AR-15 magazine, while the rifle is finished in a durable matte black coating that complements its modern tactical appearance.
Combining compact dimensions, premium American craftsmanship, and high-quality components, the Andro Corp ACI-15 5.56 CQB 8 MOD 0 delivers an exceptionally versatile AR-15 platform. Its outstanding handling, lightweight construction, and extensive customization potential make it an excellent choice for shooters looking for maximum performance in a compact package.
