The Aptus® evolved from the popular Paratus® rifle and features the same patented internal recoil technology and quick take down rifle technology. Chambered in 5.56mm and 300BLK, 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 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 take down rifle is designed for compact portability and discreet carry.

MADE IN USA
DRD Tactical was founded in 2010 after being challenged to build a 7.62mm rifle that fit in a briefcase to meet the whitepaper request for the Clandestine Sniper Rifle project listed by Joint and Special Operations Program. After two years of design and testing, DRD Tactical went into production on the PARATUS®. In designing the PARATUS®, two patents were developed – quick barrel change and internal recoil system. These two patents would become the backbone of future rifles developed for DRD Tactical. DRD Tactical is built on a passion for building handcrafted American made firearms and developing innovative solutions. This isn’t a mass production operation where parts can be overlooked. We ensure maximum power, extreme range, and precise accuracy from start to finish by building each handcrafted rifle one at a time.That level of attention to detail through the manufacturing process ensures each firearm created is a masterpiece.
