Carbines for Ukraine (Adams Arms)
Adams Arms, based in Brooksville, Florida, has fulfilled a contract to produce rifles for Ukraine. Adams Arms did not stipulate which branch of the Ukrainian armed forces or security services the rifles are for, but said they had been working on orders for a few months. The rifles appear to be the Adams Arms Model P1 which has a Picatinny ramp gas block with 3 adjustable settings and M4 style furniture. From the images shown of the rifles, they do not appear to be selective fire.

Adams Arms shared a video on its Facebook and Instagram pages with the caption: “Another Ukrainian shipment is preparing to be shipped. Many brands throw their guns out of helicopters to demonstrate durability, ours go to war. Why settle for less?” The video showed several racks with M4 model carbines ready to be shipped.
“Adams Arms has been supporting Ukraine and other international customers for years. We’ve been assembling their final orders over the past few months,” said Adams Arms President Jason East. “Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, we have worked around the clock to ensure that our shipment of firearms will arrive safely and in full. We stand with the people of Ukraine and are proud to know that the Adams Arms products will be used to support the independence of a sovereign nation.
