Here's the YouTube review:
I recently purchased a very rare (supposedly 8 of them are in the country) B&T APR308S that has a 16 barrel and very long silencer. I mainly collect US military sniper rifles, but I sometimes buy oddball stuff and anything that I think is interesting. I have some B&T PCC's and a B&T SPR300 waiting for a few tax stamps, so I guess I'm now collecting B&T stuff. I usually look at reviews online before I buy a modern, current production firearm, but unfortunately there's next to no information online about the APR308S, which gave me an idea.
Right now a friend of mine is doing a review on my USMC M14 DMR and he's going to make a video showing it being shot at various distances. He normally reviews and makes videos about military rifle, buf I asked him if he wanted to do a review of a new civilian rifle that no one has heard about. He agreed to do a video review of the B&T APR308S and I made arrangements for my local FFL to send the rifle and silencer to him (he has an FFL/SOT).
When my rifle/silencer arrived at my FFL, they got an approved Form 3 and immediately mailed everything to my friend. I spent a lot of money on this rifle and silencer, but I haven't even seen it in person! I sent my friend a brand new and very rare rifle/silencer, and I'm going to get back a used rifle/silencer. I think it's worth it though, I was planning on shooting it, so I don't care if it's used. As a side note, we're going to be working together over the next few years, I'm going to send him rifles out of my collection and he's going to do cool videos about them. I'm trying to work up the courage to mail him and original USMC M40 sniper rifle from 1966! I might do so if people like the videos he's doing on the other rifles.
This is my B&T APR308S:
There really aren't even photos of this "S" version of the APR308 online. Besides the photos I just posted above, this is the only photo I could find of an APR308S online:
This video isn't a full review of the B&T APR308S, this is just a taste of things to come. A few things to note, this video shows the rifle shooting regular super sonic ammunition, not subs. He said that the rifle is amazingly quiet, even more so than his AI Covert, and he never had to wear hearing protection when shooting the rifle. He also said that the rifle is even quieter when he shoots it in an open area, he says that the sound reflecting off the wall next to him makes the rifle seem louder. His testing of the APR308S has just begun, so this is the only video we have of this rifle. It's also the only video on YouTube that shows this rifle being fired. After seeing this, I'm even more excited to see his video review on this rifle, it's going to be awesome!
I hope you guys think this is an interesting rifle and I'll post his video review in this thread when he finishes it. Here's my B&T SPR300, I'll get some photos of them side by side when I get my APR308S back:
