I was very pleased with the shooting experience.

The upper and lower receiver, as well as bolt carrier are unique, so are there magazine compatibility issues? With a barrel so quick to install and remove, is there a change to the point of impact? What kind of accuracy can we get from a government profile barrel that’s so easily installed? This was tested in the Shooting Impressions video below. The DRD Tactical Aptus handguard centers using a tab, the pin engages a slot on the barrel nut to prevent sliding, and the lever provides clamping force. The non-reciprocating charging handle folds out of the way when not in use. Neither upper nor lower receiver are of standard AR cut. The non-reciprocating, left-side charging means there’s no need to lift your face from the stock to charge or clear the gun. of an AR resulting in less felt recoil and a flatter-shooting experience. Total reciprocating mass of the action is just 9.7 oz. The Aptus is easier to transport and store than most most conventional rifles as it requires space more akin to that of a PDW. The case, or any bag you decide to use for the disassembled rifle, won’t scream, “Hey, I’m carrying a rifle!” everywhere you go.
The Aptus makes transporting a 16″-barreled rifle easy and discreet. You’ll also see a demonstration of how easy it is to put the whole system together. You can get a feel for the fit, finish, and build quality in the tabletop video below. The case can contain the complete rifle, optics if small enough, and a couple of magazines.Īs advertised, you can go from cased to shooting in under a minute with some practice. The Aptus is a side-charging, folding stock, quick-barrel change, direct impingement rifle that breaks down to fit in an 18.3×14.4″ hard case. The bottom of the DRD Tactical Aptus case houses the receivers, handguard, magazines, and room for a short optic. The lid of the DRD Tactical Aptus case houses the barrel with room for a spare. Years later I finally got my hands on one and am happy to share the experience with you. It wasn’t the first rifle like this, but it was the first time I’d seen one.
I remember the awe when I first saw it as rifles of such a format are relatively uncommon. I believe it was around SHOT 2017 that DRD Tactical made a splash with their folding stock, AR-mag fed, side-charging takedown rifle the Aptus.
