Palmetto State Armory Revives Advanced Armament Company with Updated MPW Suppressor Designs
In 2026, Palmetto State Armory reintroduced Advanced Armament Company (AAC) along with new suppressor designs and the Multi Purpose Weapon (MPW). The updated MPW will be available in .300 Blackout, 5.56, 338ARC, and 6mm ARC.
Notable variants include the MPW SDIC in 338ARC and the MPW SD in 300 Blackout, featuring 416 height upper receivers that accommodate suppressors within the rails. These models include an SD-specific rail with an internal heat shield, ambidextrous controls, and an enlarged bolt release.
AAC has implemented field-serviceable rubber gaskets to reduce gas leakage around the charging handle and forward assist. The SDIC is compatible with Magpul ICAR magazines. Both SD variants will be available as short-barreled rifles and pistols at launch, with a focus on competitive pricing based on user feedback.
