Also known as: UDP-9 Rifle, UDP9 Rifle, UDP-9 16 inch

Overview

The Angstadt Arms UDP-9 Rifle is the 16-inch barrel, rifle-length configuration of the UDP-9 AR-9 platform, chambered in 9x19mm and feeding from GLOCK-pattern double-stack magazines. The longer 16-inch chrome moly Melonite barrel makes it a non-NFA rifle requiring no tax stamp while wringing higher velocity from 9mm than the short pistol. It retains the UDP-9's 7075-T6 billet aluminum upper and lower receivers, straight blowback action, last-round bolt hold open, Angstadt Arms EMT-9 single-stage trigger, Radian Weapons Talon ambidextrous safety and Raptor LT charging handle. The rifle wears a B5 Systems Bravo collapsible stock and a longer free-floating M-LOK handguard, and is finished in black anodize, Magpul FDE or Tactical Grey Cerakote.
