It would seem that innovation is hard to come by in the topic of the AR platform - after all, this carbine, which has been in existence for 60 years, has received a huge number of modifications over the years changing its gas system or improving its modularity. Loosely based on this proven standard, the DRD Tactical Aptus introduces with its design another interesting solution in the form of a quick disassembly. The possibility of tool-free disassembly of the barrel and bed allows for portability even in a small backpack. Besides, Aptus provides the level of workmanship expected from carbines at this price range, guaranteeing perfect fit and high reliability.
The DRD Tactical Aptus self-revolving carbine offers the user:- A unique design that allows tool-free disassembly of the barrel and bed
- Ergonomics characteristic of the AR platform to guarantee comfortable operation
- Adjustable gas block for comfortable use with sound suppressor
- Carbine's weight-limiting lightweight Direct Impingement gas system
- Dorsal Picatinny rail allowing mounting of any aiming instruments
- Side tension lever equipped with a flat-folding handle
- Magpul pistol grip in AR-15 standard with ergonomic design
- Spacious aluminum bed with Picatinny rail and M-LOK system slots
- Modern 6-position flask with the possibility of folding to the side for transport
- Classic discharge device - a simple Birdcage type flame suppressor
- Power supply from the most popular magazine standard - STANAG
The unique design of the DRD Aptus carbine uses a barrel and gas tube module that can be easily bolted to the weapon's breech chamber without the use of any tool. Combined with a quick-release bed, the carbine can be ready for shooting in less than 30 seconds. The folding capability is sure to appeal to any person who appreciates the convenience of transport and discretion when carrying the weapon.
DRD Tactical Aptus - a unique carbine with the ability to disassemble for transport
The carbine is equipped with a 16-inch barrel, which will be long enough to ensure high bullet velocity and precision at medium distances. The surface of the barrel has been subjected to a nitriding process, to protect it from harmful factors - primarily the corrosive effect of the gases produced when burning gunpowder. The barrel ends in a thread with a factory-installed Birdcage flame suppressor.
Adaptation for mounting modular accessories - AR standard and M-LOK slots
The quick-attach bed does not maintain contact with the barrel along its entire length, allowing it to work naturally with the bullet moving inside. Distributed at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, M-LOK standard holes allow installation of a foregrip and useful electronics. The Picatinny rail, on the other hand, extended over the entire bed, will allow the installation of aiming instruments in any configuration - be it a running scope alone or, for example, a combo of a collimator and folding mechanical instruments.
AR carbine ergonomics with a unique folding system - the DRD Tactical Aptus carbine
TheDRD Tactical Aptus provides similar handling ergonomics to AR-15 carbines - the only major difference here is the tensioning handle located on the side of the breech chamber. The Magpul MOE pistol grip used in the weapon provides us with high comfort, however, if we wish to replace it, we can use any model compatible with the AR platform. The flask used in the carbine refers by design to the latest trends, allowing extremely comfortable folding, adjusting the length to our dimensions and allowing us to fold to the side during transport or use in tight spaces.
