hey guys, I just purchased a beauty of a rifle, my question is for anyone who actually owns a gen 2 B&T APC 223, I only have about 100 rounds through it, while I stripped it today for cleaning, I noticed that the barrel /piston housing does move a tiny bit from side to side in the upper hand guard. I can move it about a 1/8th of an inch play, im wondering if this is normal? if anyone has any feedback I would greatly appreciate it. I love the rifle though, what a slick unit. I bought it brand new so its not been abused (yet lol).

Mine does the same, think of it as a free floated barrel from the handguard.
Anyone have the answer for this barrel movement? I was going to buy one at FOC but since I saw this tread I am waiting, prices are crazy nowadays and I think this rifle is overpriced too but I need a semi after the advent of Mr. Drama Teacher.
There is one on EE they are asking 4500, even more than a brand new one and only for the rifle, not even mags, tried to buy it but prefer to pay for a brand new one instead, anyways, the pandemic is affecting people’s minds and judgement.

Is there an official ApC thread on CGN?
Just purchased one of these too. Probably going to take a while to arrive.

There isn’t an official thread, but I posted a review so you can also post some questions there.

Curious, are you seeing any large groups when shooting?
If you are, I think the screws probably need to be tightened.
Looking at the barrel assembly, the only area to cause play are the screw points

What’s everyone running for optics on their apc223?
I’m thinking of going with a Nightforce nx8 1-8

You'll need to pay attention to mount placement as it can interfere with charging the rifle.

Elcan Spectre DR low-power optic. It is the perfect magnified optic for a shorty B+T....
I went with the NR long boi but a spectre would be nice

I’ve got an EXPS3-0, no magnifier though, I’ll probably try it out one day
