B&T takes its APC (Advanced Police Carbine) series to the next level with the APC308 a weapon ideal for SWAT and special intervention task forces as well as special military operations. Each APC unit is exceptionally well-machined and is manufactured with the Swiss-made precision that B&T is known for. This is particularly evident in the hydraulic shock-absorbing buffer which greatly mitigates recoil and enhances overall accuracy as well as an all metal lower receiver. The result is a weapon that is controllable on rapid fire accurate and comfortable to shoot. In addition many of the APC's controls are reminiscent of the AR-15 platform such as the ambidextrous safety selector the trigger assembly and its ability to accept AR-type magazines. These similarities make for a better shooting experience for someone already acquainted with the AR-15.
