CloverTac’s A-SAR Overview was recorded at the 2024 NRA Convention in Texas. Clover spent some time with one of our engineers to at NRAAM 2024 discussing the features and build of Avidity’s first Rifle Product. The A-SAR (Avidity Semi-Automatic Rifle) is actually a collaboration between Avidity Arms and NEMO, who are already well established manufacturers of high quality AR Type Rifles. The A-SAR billet lower was designed by Rob Pincus to give every advantage to those interested in a defensive carbine. The upper is a 16″ NEMO Battle-Light, with .223 Wylde chamber and all the features that NEMO’s own rifle ships with, including their Nickel Boron Coated BCG.
The A-SAR’s most unique feature is the lower’s Internally Funneled IF Mag Well™. This unique magazine well has internal funneling to guide the ridge at the back of all AR type magazines into the correct alignment for seating. Clover learned about this feature and its primary advantage during the A-SAR Overview. Rob originally made this modification to some of his own AR’s many years ago and was surprised to learn that no company offered such an obviously beneficial feature. In addition to the internal funneling, the IF Mag Well™ features a generous central relief cut that creates a front lip. That lip makes finding the magazine well easier without visual reference. The cut also means that those with shorter or weaker fingers will have an easier time clearing a complex malfunction (Double Feed, etc…), if they should ever need to. These features are designed into the lower without any increase in external dimensions over a standard AR, keeping the rifle slim and resulting in an overall lighter lower.
Avidity Arms has also but a limited number of special configuration .22LR and .22WMR A-SARs for Cape Gun Works (VideoHERE!) and is working with both U.S. Rifle and WyoTac to produce additional collaborations in 7.62×39 and 6mm ARC (respectively).
