Though not limited to the American South, the area around the Mississippi River Delta is where we tend to think of “Bayou Country,” which is really any body of water typically found in a flat, low-lying area. It can include an extremely slow-moving stream, marshy lake, wetland, or creek. A bayou is further noted for its brackish water, which is often heavily wooded.

The unique colors of the wetlands served as an inspiration for the artisans at American Defense Manufacturing, which has introduced a new Bayou Camo pattern for its flagship UIC MOD 2 rifle. The Cerakote finish features a variety of different shades of green and grey that can help wearers blend in with forests, swamps, and, of course, bayous.

In addition to the bayou color palette, the UIC MOD 2 offers American Defense’s patented fully ambidextrous controls, which allow operators to actuate the bolt catch and release, along with magazine release from both sides. Each function of our ambidextrous controls is accessible while maintaining constant contact with the rifle grip for maximum effectiveness during duty or recreational use. The MOD-2 line of rifles further come standard with precision hand-lapped Criterion Barrels, G2S Precision 2-Stage Triggers, and your choice of suppressor-ready muzzle devices, including a Dead Air Keymo, Huxwrx, Surefire Warcomp, or Solgw NOX Keymount flash hiders.

It is ready to trek through Bayou Country or turn heads at the local range. The American Defense Manufacturing UIC MOD 2 Bayou is available now with an MSRP of $2,575.
