Finland and Norway already have very generous legislation and traditions for suppressors, and today Sweden joins the club. The new legislation means that suppressors should no longer be considered a firearm part and they no longer require a specific license to possess, as long as you have a permit to own the firearm onto which the suppressor fits.

B&T USA BWC-9: A SIG P320 Folding Chassis

It is not a secret that I am a fan of folding guns. The Magpul FMG is a holy grail for me and when Magpul announced their collaboration with ZevTech, I was excited. However, there was another possibility that my friends and I discussed describing what we would like to see. And now it seems B&T USA will be making that dream come true with their BWC-9, a folding chassis that uses a SIG P320 FCU and slide.

SILENCER SATURDAY #225: Wiped Suppressors – POI Shift Concerns?

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the awesome YHM Turbo K 5.56 rifle suppressor. Last week we stayed indoors for some light reading on industry news and current events – a little like 6th grade home room. This week we are back out on the range testing wiped suppressors and POI shift – specifically the B&T STATION SIX9. How much is a bullet’s trajectory impacted when it passes through a series of hard rubber wipes? And is it a cause for concern? Let’s take a look.

In this episode, James Reeves reviews the modern Welrod pistol, the B&T Station Six. The Station Six is truly a real-life spy gun and a modernized take on the integrally suppressed Welrod pistol from the World War II era.

[IWA 2022] B&T's NEW Short Stroke Piston AR? The SPC223 is Coming…

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves visits B&T to see their upcoming SPC223. The SPC223 is another B&T Swiss masterwork of a carbine, however, the SPC will share a manual of arms with the AR-15/M16 more so than B&T’s current .223 carbine, the APC223. American operators would likely prefer this hybrid of the AR and the APC223, but check out today’s video to see if this system works for you.

B&T Releases the Glock Compatible Lower APC45 Pro

The APC45 has been a popular pistol caliber carbine for a lot of individuals as well as law enforcement agencies. However, for the average user of the APC45 Pro, having to shell out nearly $100 per magazine can get pretty expensive if you plan on running your PCC within a competition or using it for daily patrol. Now, B&T is offering the APC45 Pro-G model which is compatible with Glock 21 magazines which are reliable, durable, and most important of all – much more affordable.

NEW PCC: The B&T USA SPC9 – Special Purpose Carbine

B&T USA has just announced the arrival of the SPC9 – Special Purpose Carbine – that combines features and characteristics from the B&T APC9, H&K MP5, and the AR-15 platforms. Critics of most blow-back operated pistol caliber carbines often note that perceived recoil and suppression characteristics are underwhelming compared to delayed action systems. The B&T SPC9 uses a hydraulic buffer system similar to the APC line of carbines/SMGs to mitigate common blow-back action traits. As an APC9 owner, I can vouch for the hydraulic buffer system’s usefulness. The SPC9 will be available in five configurations, of which the integrally suppressed SD model gets my full attention. Pricing and availability will be provided soon. The press release below contains additional details.
