The Aptus AR-15 rifle evolved from the popular Paratus rifle and features the same patented internal recoil technology and quick takedown rifle technology. Chambered in 5.56mm and .300 Blackout, the Aptus® is Latin for “ready.” The patented internal recoil system eliminates the standard buffer tube/spring associated with most AR-style rifles, allowing it to be fired with the stock folded. The rifle can be assembled in less than 60 seconds without the use of any tools. Constructed with U.S. billet aluminum and finished in either black hard coat type III anodizing or NIB Battleworn finish, this tactical rifle comes with extraordinary custom detail and outstanding quality. It has an ambidextrous safety bolt catch and a left side non-reciprocating charging handle. This patented quick takedown rifle is designed for compact portability and discreet carry.
