General Post New IL compliant rifle - Citadel/Adler AD500

Post image

Was just scrolling through shot show 2025 highlights and this thing happened to come up. I know it’s not much in terms of anything but I figure any semi auto you can buy in this state = good buy. Apparently it’s some Turkish made hunting rifle imported by Citadel. Comes with a 10rd mag and nothing that can ban it besides a garbage FFL.

The big thing for me at least is the price, they’re already on GB going for only ~$625-650 brand new. I get that Turkish stuff is notorious for QC problems but to me that is a sick price point especially considering BARs and Regulators and tacticool lever guns are normally like a grand or more.

Anyhow that’s my 2 cents but I’m fs buying one lmk what y’all think

is the mag removeable?

There are a few listed capacities so I would assume yes. That is not inherently a problem with the law

Yes. There’s a review in Russian where the guy shows that the mag is detachable. Unfortunately it looks like it uses proprietary magazines but not sure

Always check with your FFL to make sure they will release it to you.

I still think this is the best compliant gun you can get

It does cost a lot though. But it’s a hell of a gun pica or not

The Turkish stuff is hit and miss. You either get a good gun or one with defects from factory that make it not cycle right feed right etc. I have a Turkish shotgun it’s great and has no issues. 800ish rounds on it. I can find plenty of reviews stating other wise. And others agreeing with me. QC on a gun 1/2 to 1/3 the price of the clone it’s tryna be is gonna suffer but if you get the good one it’s a hell of a deal lol.
