MOD-1 SPECS
Hodge Defense Systems MOD-1 Technical Specifications
Receiver Set (Upper & Lower)
- Material: Forged 7075-T6 Aluminum.
- Finish: Anodized per Mil-A-8625, Type III Hard Coat.
- Fitment (Proprietary): Features slightly oversized Takedown and Pivot Lugs to ensure a tight, minimal-play upper-to-lower fit.
- Barrel Interface (Proprietary): Requires Thermal Fitting of the barrel extension to the upper receiver to achieve a maximized, rigid mechanical lock-up for enhanced accuracy.
Barrel Assembly (The "Special Barrel")
- Construction: Cold Hammer Forged (CHF) process for superior durability and lifespan.
- Material: Utilizes a Proprietary Steel Alloy (historical and current specifications vary, often referenced as a high-end modified steel).
- Bore Feature (Proprietary): Features a Tapered Bore and optimized rifling.
- Technical Benefit: This design enhances projectile velocity and contributes to a softer, smoother recoil impulse, particularly when suppressed.
- Chamber/Caliber: 5.56 {NATO} / accepts both 5.56 {NATO} and 0.223 {Rem}
- Gas System: Mid-length Gas System (for 14.5" and 16" models) with an Optimized Gas Port Size.
- Gas Block: Factory Micro Pinned Gas Block for a permanent, secure alignment.
Handguard (Proprietary Rail)
- Design: Hodge Pinch Lock (P-Lock) or similar Hodge Defense Systems Inc. (HDSI) rail.
- Feature: Known for its extremely high rigidity and robust mounting interface to the barrel nut, providing a stable platform.
Core Performance Characteristics
- Recoil Impulse: Engineered for a softer, smoother recoil operation, especially when running suppressed.
- Accuracy: Design principles (Thermal Fit, Tapered Bore, Rigid Rail) are focused on achieving maximum accuracy potential for a duty-grade platform.
- Reliability: Built with a focus on running reliably with both military-grade (5.56 {NATO} / M855A1) and match-grade ammunition.
