Description
B&T APC223
The APC223 (Advanced Police Carbine) is a gas operated semi-automatic rifle, made in Switzerland (the automatic version APC556 is reserved for the administration: contact us).
It has ergonomics and equipment never seen together on a weapon of this type. The control devices are totally ambidextrous (safety, ambidextrous magazine pusher and breech stopper, and reversible cocking lever). Accuracy is excellent thanks to the cold hammered barrel. The weapon is compact thanks to its folding stock on the side. A hydraulic buffer as well as a compensator limit the raising and the retreat to its simplest expression. The breech stays back on the last shot. The receiver has a handguard equipped with a picatinny rail on the top and bottom machined in the mass and 2 side picatinny rails in removable polymer. The weapon can receive the moderator of its B&T Rotex IIA without dismantling the compensator (QD system). The disassembly is very simple and very fast. The usage distance extends up to 600m.
