American Precision Arms is a boutique U.S. manufacturer of precision rifle components and rifles, best known for its Bastard-series self-timing muzzle brakes widely used in long-range competition.


American Precision Arms (APA) is a small, quality-driven manufacturer based in Georgia, specializing in precision rifle components and complete rifles. In real-world use, APA products are most commonly seen on PRS and long-range competition rifles, where recoil control and sight-picture stability matter more than cost or weight. The Bastard-series muzzle brakes are a staple on the firing line, valued for their self-timing design and tunable recoil characteristics that help shooters stay on target and spot impacts. Beyond brakes, APA produces scope rings, bottom metal, and rifles built to tight tolerances, supporting shooters who prioritize consistency, durability, and repeatable performance.
