APA Gen 3 Fat Bastard Muzzle Brakes

Description

The development of APA Gen 3 Fat Bastard was the result of American Precision Arms’ constant pursuit of breaking the mold and a desire to meet the demands of the Long-Range and Hunting markets. APA has combined the standards of high-level performance and reliability with distinctive design enhancements to improve both accuracy and performance. These enhancements benefit the shooter experience at the range and in the field where every advantage matters.

The roots of the new Generation 3 version of the Fat Bastard lie in the requests of the elite long-range precision rifle community. APA’s goal was to meet the needs of those shooters while also maintaining their standards of pristine manufacturing. Among the design, changes are three key features. The advanced Unique Recoil Profile tunable top port design allows the shooter to fine-tune the muzzle movement for absolute target retention. In addition to that, the new lock nut design creates a zero over rotating platform. Last, is the addition of a fifth Bastard port section that eliminates even more recoil than before.

NOT JUST STOPPING RECOIL, BUT LATERAL MOVEMENT AND MUZZLE RISE AS WELL, FOR A TRULY NEUTRAL SIGHT PICTURE

URP (UNIQUE RECOIL PROFILE) TOP PORTS

This allows the shooter to not only combat direct recoil but muzzle rise and lateral movement based on the characteristics of their rifle, personal grip, stance, and the position they are shooting from.

We developed the U.R.P. Adjustable Gas System. These aren’t just randomly placed top ports. Every port is placed adjacent to the internal Bastard tooth where there is maximum pressure build-up. This makes the adjustable ports directionally effective.

The unique tunable gas system combined with the trademark APA ports work together to achieve a sight picture that moves less than ever before. There are 10 directional gas ports that can be tuned to counteract you’re U.R.P. (unique recoil profile).

There are endless combinations to keep your sights on target. To calibrate the brake to your U.R.P., start testing with all the gas screws installed. Pay attention to the movement of your reticle, and begin removing the gas screws as the recoil requires.

When the gas screws are removed on the right side, the rifle will be shifted left. For the opposite effect simply remove the screws on the left. The gas holes closer to the nut have a more dramatic effect and the ports closer to the brake crown have a lesser effect. When you find your U.R.P. combination, Threadtite your screws into place.

Is it legal to buy guns online?

Yes, it’s completely legal to buy firearms online. It a simple task to make a purchase from an online gun store. First you make your purchase, then contact a local dealer to facilitate a FFL Transfer. A good dealer takes over from there and all you need to do is wait on a phone call for pickup.

What’s an FFL and why is it called a transfer?

FFL stands for Federal Firearms License, and an FFL transfer is simply the process of changing possession of a firearm from an FFL to another FFL or customer. In almost all cases, it is not legal to receive a gun at your home or transfer a gun across state lines without the involvement of a dealer. Having an FFL dealer receive your online purchase is what keeps this process secure, safe, and legal.

When you buy a gun online from an FFL, like our online gun store, federal law requires you to have it shipped to a dealer with a federal firearms license so they can conduct the background check and legally transfer the gun to you. When your chosen FFL dealer notifies you that your purchase from us has arrived, you just show up to your FFL’s licensed location, fill out ATF Form 4473, pass your background check, and take your new baby (or babies) home.

Once you complete Form 4473, they conduct the federal background check through the National Instant Criminal Check System, and you pay the FFL their transfer fee.
At this point your new gun has been properly transferred.

1. Select a local FFL
As you explore online resources to locate a nearby FFL for your firearm transfer, keep in mind that you must confirm they will actually accept your item and perform the transfer, and that their fee is reasonable. You wouldn’t want an FFL to receive your items if they charge super high fees or only conduct gun transfers for items purchased in their store. You can find an FFL dealer near you using our FFL Finder page.

2. Contact FFL and confirm transfer
Before buying a gun online, it’s best to have already contacted and secured an FFL dealer to conduct firearm transfers for you. So when speaking with them for the first time, confirm that they are willing to accept the firearm shipment and that you’re comfortable with the dealer’s fee. Some state and local jurisdictions may impose fees or additional paperwork that you have to complete, discuss this with the FFL dealer if you have any questions about the local transfer process. Once that’s established, you simply provide your contact information and communicate that you plan to purchase a gun online and have it shipped to them. Once you have completed the first transfer with them, it’s courteous to send them a heads-up the next time a firearm purchase will be sent to them for you to pick up. It helps them to know what item is headed their way and where it’s coming from.

3. Buy guns online
