Why I ask for support through Patreon:
I love the firearms community and am thrilled to be able to give back to it by way of producing content for it. I want to both continue my pace of content production as well as improve its quality, all while adding to its diversity (shooting for accuracy videos, destructive target testing, high speed / slow motion, etc).
Appearances aside, I am not just some rich guy with a ton of guns. I had a good job and ideal set of circumstances for a few years that allowed me to invest heavily in building up a sizeable collection. Those circumstances are changing, and now I am turning to the community to help continue to make this channel exciting and successful. Your help and support are greatly appreciated.
All funds received by CZcams (very insignificant as firearms videos are largely demonetized) and by supporters via Patreon are to be reinvested into this channel in the following ways:
- Purchase and import of new feature firearms/gear: Being in Canada, it is often difficult for manufacturers/distributors to send me firearms for testing and review. Instead, I often have to purchase them personally, and in some cases even import them into the country.
- Ammunition: It takes funds to run the guns enough to be able to get a good overall impression for an accurate review.
- Production value: I am always looking to add better camera and lighting gear to be able to improve the final product you see.
- Range and targets: from more static steel targets, to future destructive target testing.
- Travel to distributors/manufacturers/industry shows to get the content on the latest and greatest

- Magazine Capacity: 5 - 20 (only 5 in Canada due to restrictive magazine limit laws)

The APC223 is considered Non-Restricted based on barrel length, meaning that with a 18.5"+ barrel it is legal to own with a PAL and can be shot wherever it is legal to discharge firearms. The Bustmaster ACR sitting next to the APC223 is in the same category. The S&W TRR8 bonus gun at the end and APC223 SBR are all restricteds. The revolver, because it is a handgun and therefore automatically restricted, and the APC223 because it has a barrel shorter than 18.5". They both require a RPAL to possess and in addition to being registered in a federal database, have addition storage, transport, sale, and discharge restrictions.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite gun channels. In depth videos shot nicely and a good narrator. Awesome.
Just bought the updated 12” 223 pistol, largely due to your channel.
Thanks from Florida!
Great review video on the APC 223. You cover all the important and interesting points on this weapon. Super video clarity and audio quality. I do have a question though....is the audio at normal speed or is it sped up somewhat. Good content.
Great video.
The finish issue on the bolt carrier group is a strange problem to have on such an expensive gun though.
so beautiful....you have an awesome collection!
Have the APC9 and I can confirm the fit and finish and quaity of the products.
I think a good addition to these weekly gun overviews would be somehow showing us what the iron sights look like when lined up
They're basically the same as magpul mbus ones if you're interested, they're plastic and not super nice all things considered.
Your channel ist great! Greez from switzerland....
Shoutout to the Magpul Masada...… Nice.
Great teardown!
Question. Can you swap the 300 blackout barrel into this 223?
Swiss made!🇨🇭👍🏻
Thibaut Mizel aber sofort!! 😅😂
Thats a great video!
Great channel and videos! One of the best gun tubers without a doubt. Hey Arm&Gun, if you could only afford to buy a HK MR223 A3 or this B&T APC 223 which one would you get? I need help deciding for a Christmas present to myself.
Id say MR223 as thats a much more battle proven design
@@yousufakhtar9995 I went with the HK for the same reason you mentioned. It is a great rifle.
In Canada 🇨🇦 we don’t get all the choices. Trudeau treated the blacklist like a Pollock painting.
@@MichaelClaytonCo That is unfortunate for sure, maybe one day you can take back your rights.
Great video, thank you. I just picked up the 8.7” pistol version. Do you fire 556 through yours and also what pints do you live? Thanks!
Thank god you can't remove the lower....what bizarre laws.
What is the reasoning behind requiring the upper to be permanently mounted?
To prevent modifications that make it full auto. Liberal logic...
@@dantheman4751 Politicians are super dumb outside of talking shit. Anybody who is capable of making a gun full auto is not going to be hindered by that pin being a little harder to remove. I'm sure a Dremel will make short work of that "permanently" mounted pin.
In fact I don't believe you would even have to remove the pin to install an auto sear and trigger. Although I'm sure it would be more convenient.
Great gun but wouldn't replace my SIG 551 for one of these.
😂 551 is out dated.
@@internetexpert8153 jocke.
551 ist the best gun ever made.
Nowane can beat the rebalaty
@@y.spycher 😂 😂 😂 your spelling is amazing.
Wish you could have listed stock info in your report
Hello Arm&Gun, I am a fellow Canadian shooter who is getting the APC223 this month, may I ask where did you purchase the ACR stock adapter and the stock? thank you.
Hey Bud,
Not sure if you’re still looking for the stock and Dan Haga adapter but Aztech Armory has both in stock just make sure you buy the Rifle Adaptor and not the pistol. www.aztecharmory.com/haga-designs-acr™-adapter-rifle-caliber-fits-p-56190.html
@@Ryan-cb6rv hey Ryan, thank you very much for the info, just placed my order with Aztech, cant wait :D
Please compare to the Scar 16. I'd like to see an accuracy test with ball...that's what everyone is going to shoot with it and with a premium ammo.
Can't get scars in canada
I'm really debating ordering one of these from wolverine.
I’d highly recommend it. Smoothest sbr I’ve shot. Aftermarket support is growing, and from talking to wolf they are having a hard time keeping them in stock right now.
Arm&Gun unfortunately I’ve read a ton of complaints about this firearm, particularly light primer strikes and jams. One guy on CGN even claimed both his & his friends APC 223’s had to be sent back for repairs.. which is sad considering this gun costs $4000, you would think it would be absolutely flawless. All of B&T’s products are amazing, but the APC is the only one I’ve seen people complain about. It seems like B&T only cares about their SMG’s, Hopefully they invest some time to fix all the flaws with the upcoming Pro model.
I've never had a single malfunction on mine in the nearly three years i had it. My friends don't have any issues either
There are APC 223/556 imported from USA that have no permanent front takedown pin !!!!
Oh man, you would have loved the weapon cleaning drill on the Swiss Arms Stgw. 90. That gas selector is a bit of a pain.
If they come out with a pro model with modular AR grips then I'll be in.
Very unlikely
@@internetexpert8153 Very unlikely I'll be spending my clams on one then ^_~
@@muffemod apparently they have made it already lol just not in canada
How many rounds between cleanings on that?
Can you take off the upper???
Hey, that's in COD MW... I wondered what it was in real life
No it's not in cod
You like the good stuff, as do I. Folks, if you’re going to buy firearms, and can afford the nice stuff, buy the best.
I don't understand why any modern rifle would be designed with a reciprocating charging handle.
Nothing wrong with it
Can you confirm if this will take 5.56? Most .223 are interchangeable with 5.56 as they are essentially the same. However, I believe that technically there is a minute difference between the two calibers and want to make sure this gun will take both.
I’ve seen garand thumb shoot 556 with flawlessly
Mine's basically stuck after about 500 lol, btw have you ever had a stovepipe with that brass deflector? I had to swap mine out.
Failures after only 500 rounds? On a $3000 firearm? Wow
@@jomama2078 It might only have been on the full length version, haven't seen as many problems with these carbine length ones. Still a nice .223 imo, though the stock is awful
Shane s yeah nice no doubt. But just watching him struggle to remove the piston makes me wonder why these are priced the way they are...
@@jomama2078 yeah it's an annoyance, I guess part of being an early adapter to a new platform. I still wont be selling mine, here scar 16s and 17s are prohibited so these are some of the best "not an ar15" options we've got. The actions really nice btw, even smother than a mr223. I still prefer the kac sr15 but in canada those and any ar are range use only: this thing with the 18.6 inch barrel can be used anywhere outside of city limits basically. Reliable once you make the small fixes too though. I agree however, it's not for everyone
Shane s thanks for the Canadian perspective to these rifles, I am in the USA. Have a happy new year dude!
I cannot for the life of me remove that god damn piston. I've shot less then 100 rounds and that thing is stuck in there. I own many different guns even piston guns like MCX and this fucking thing will not come out. for the 4k price tag this demands its really starting to piss me off.
What is the best ammo to run threw this rifle? I know the 5.56 and .223 are interchangeable, but I’m reading that running 5.56 threw .223 can have pressure issues.
Can’t fight so spend all money gunz only few guns for me
While I obviously disagree with any gun law besides theft of a firearm, I can at least wrap my head around what the intent of the faulty logic laws are. That being said, I cannot comprehend whatsoever why they would out law separate-able uppers and lowers?
So you can't break it down to make it more compact in a bag? But folding stocks are legal there.... Yep, I don't have a clue what they were thinking.
@End Leftism no u definitely couldnt just order the f/a lower
suisse et!!
parfait
Great info, however making me dizzy from all your unnecessary hand movements and stay on details of the weapon your dealing with, nice to compare to “looks like” stats. Always try your procedure before you film this way you don’t get the “maybe carved up situation. Sorry just saying.
Good vid but man please stop flailing your arms & hands around everywhere, it's distracting!
Beautiful weapon but a little on the expensive side , I found one for 4000$+ (cdn) got super excited cause it is work of art and then I looked in my girlfriend’s eyes 🤨🤨🤨🔪🪓⚰️🪦
and my dreams fell apart 😢
