Garand Thumb review of the B+T APC223

If buying a used ACR, try to ensure that it was manufactured at the Ilion, New York Remington/Bushmaster Firearms Inc (BFI) factory. These rifles, which pre-date the "DMR" configuration are good to go. The rifles produced after the factory moved to Madison, North Carolina are the ones to avoid with QC issues. Unfortunately this includes all of the DMR rifles, which may or may not exhibit QC problems....

Hey Wolverine..
Any of the restricted shorty APC223’s expected in this year?
I want one.
And I agree with Greentips...you should get B&T do do that as the factory stocks do suck.
Also, any word on the APC9 PRO w Glock lowers?.?
Cheers

I don't want a huge 40" long rifle that weighs 10+ lbs just to shoot a small 55gr .223 round. I'd rather spend that money on a proper DMR or spend a little more and get the APC308.

The SBR is what I want, registration be damned.

That's the 300blk version with with the shorter barrel and gas system, though I fully agree, the sbr length with ACR stock is where it's at.

I hated mine and barely shot it ever due to the lousy stock until Bartok hooked me up with the ACR stock adapter and ACR folding stock. Now it’s perfect. Very accurate and the bolt carrier slides home like it’s on ball bearings.

100%
Bring on that restricted shorty!
Since all my ARs are banned it’s be so nice to start running and gunning again with something other than a rifle as long as a flagpole. Lol.

If you have the money for a short barreled APC223 for the range, you may want to invest some additional funds in making a non-restricted SBR using one of the "ARish" manual action modular receivers available, either the Spectre Ballistics Light Practical Carbine or the Maple Ridge Armoury Renegade. As long as you exceed a 660 mm overall length with the stock+receiver+barrel+muzzle device, you could make a firearm in .223, Blackout, Grendel, 7.62x39mm or other caliber with a shorter barrel. The receivers' threads on the vendors' subforums have some examples of manual action modular SBR builds.
 
Does 10 round x2 cross mag work in APC223? I just bought two today while eagerly waiting for APC223 to drop.

Also why do people hate the OEM folding stock so much? They look alright to me.

Lots of people hate the folding stock due to the low comb height, and the lack of lop adjustment.
Before I sold my APC I bought a low mount mini acog and had no problem at all with the OEM stock.

yes those mags work perfectly. OEM stock is bit too low on the shoulder and cheek, you can run low mount optics make it better
