The B&T APC223 Pro Sport 5.56 NATO rifle in Coyote Tan is the non-NFA, 16.5-inch barrel version of the APC223, a fully ambidextrous rifle built on B&T’s APC platform. It runs a short stroke piston system made for suppressor use, regulated by an adjustable gas valve that can be tuned as fouling builds. A hydraulic buffer reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, and the MBT folding retractable stock keeps the rifle compact for discreet deployment. B&T offers this rifle in black or Coyote Tan, and this listing is the Coyote Tan one. It suits a suppressed 5.56 build, range work or a compact home-defense rifle.
