Review:
I bought the Bt-47 (apex version) barrel a couple of weeks ago. I know this isnt a review for the apex so I'll focus on the AK style part of it.
I was going for the ak47 look for my gun. I accomplished this by a long shot. My gun is now the sweetest looking out of anyone's I know. At 16 inches long, this sucker is massive. The giant upside is the horizontal grip option it opens up. I ripped the bottom half of my vertical grip on my Custom Pro (basically a 98) and now just use the barrel grip. Combined with my stock, I now have the total mil-sim package going on. It looks and feels like a real AK (or what I can imagine an ak would feel like). If you use a sight rail, you now have a raised sight which is wicked because without a raised sight, you can't use the marker's sight with a mask on and your stock. I weighed my gun and with the Ak package it weighs 9 pounds without paint. So its big. The barrel pieces are quite well made, most plastic.
I found this barrel to be awesome last weekend when I played. The apex was great. The grip was soo sweet. It felt more natural, like a real gun ,and more balanced. All my friends admired the look and pretty much thought it was the bee's knees. Thats about the gyst of it.
Conclusion:
Buy this sucker If you want a good looking, accurate gun.

Hey, have you used the standard BT Apex? I was wondering if the extra length in the barrel helps with accuracy or anything like that vs the 10inch-something standard apex. Cheers
