Got my hands on a BWC chassis. Had about 5 to 6 FTE shooting 1.5 boxes of 115gr blazer. Im gonna take it apart and clean it real good. Aside from shooting different types of ammo is there any thing else I should know about this platform? One of the FTE bricked it and i had to mortar via the charge handle. Standard P320 4.7" fcu and slide, factory mags. Brand new. TIA.

This is new and doesn’t come with the optic , curious what you guys think of the price

Recently I bought one of the first US production run KH9 and on my first range trip I suffered what I suspect to be a OOB detonation or over pressured round. I was thankfully unhurt but the same could not be said for the Kh9.

The feed ramps were destroyed(pics will be included) and I need a replacement. I have sent B&T USA a email, but I know how well that usually goes so I thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas.

Would love to track this barrel assembly down, if possible. I’ve got the 8.7” in my gen 1.5, but I’d love the additional velocity provided by the extra 3”. I see that Idaho 2A Tactical once had them in stock, but can’t seem to find anything else.

u/bt-usa, think you could get your paws on one for me?

I really want to purchase a B&T but they seem to be hard to come by - anyone have a good store recommendation who has a good B&T selection in the USA?

Trying to get a cloak frt running for a lefty, is there anyone that sells a 3 position ambi B&T selector?

let's see if I ever get a response from this email... 5th time is a try?

Note: B&T USA did not review this post before it went live.

In a somewhat random r/gundeals post about an SPC9 last week, I discovered that B&T USA is 10 minutes away from my home. I happened to connect with them and asked if they offer tours of their facility. They said they’d be happy to have me over, so I made the visit.

I’m a recreational shooter, low-key collector, and casual competitor. I’m just a desk jockey who really likes this sport/hobby. I have 36 NFA items, fairly evenly split between cans and SBRs. Eight of those are B&T items. Naturally, I was excited to see the HQ of one of my favorite brands.

The facility in Herriman, Utah is in a new, large industrial building. Despite the immense space, they’ve filled it up a decent amount. There’s a lot of room to grow though.

They walked me through the suppressor manufacturing process and I saw the nine printers in action (see picture). We went through a variety of other stations and it was really fascinating to see how cans are made, step-by-step.

I won’t bore you with all the details of my little field trip though. I walked away with a few key learnings:

—Their suppressor warranty is no questions asked - I didn’t realize that. And, yes, they still honor the warranty for all products.

—They’re collaborating with a variety of other brands beyond white-labeling suppressors. I know the whole Rare Breed thing is a losing proposition on Reddit, sure, but there are some other partnerships that sounded intriguing. I also love it when 2A companies do what they can to innovate together.

—We chatted about the whole thing with B&T AG. I’ve loosely followed it and was able to learn a bit more. My summary is that the situation largely stemmed from a perfect storm - they were looking to invest in their suppressor operations and made a boatload of capital expenditures. This resulted in a need to relocate the company to make room for expanded operations, which slowed down production in the short-term. This led to a constriction in cash flow and overall profitability, which alarmed the Swiss. My view is that this was an aggressive capitalist move to meet surging demand and sometimes that road has bumps - risk/reward, etc.

—The people there were professional, polite, and generally down-to-earth. I didn’t get any odd vibes or the feeling that they were going overboard to prove themselves. Just a methodical, pragmatic motion to run a business.

tl;dr B&T USA is doing just fine and that’s really great for 2A consumers

Current setup: Die free kung-fu grip, Holosun 510 Green on a Kastle Group riser, B&T flared magwell, Light Holosun RAID incoming.

Looking for a minimalist forward grip, something like the Die Free Co Tiger Claw but Picatinny compatible (mine’s the Picatinny version so the Tiger Claw won’t fit).

Also thinking about swapping to a PDW-style stock but stuck on which one — I’ve got the B&T hydraulic buffer tube so anything needing a different buffer (Maxim, SCW, etc.) is out. Looking at mil-spec compatible options like the Armaspec XPDW or similar. Anyone run one on a 9mm blowback setup?

Thanks!

After seeing a picture of this rail yesterday it sent my cloner brain down a rabbit hole. I don't have many 300 blk builds and its taking me forever to come across an SRD762 for a reasonable price to finish my LVAW, then this thing popped up. Apparently Thuringia, Germany bought 1200 for their police force in this configuration. You can actually get the rail too, its just expensive AF. Its from York Development. Rail itself isn't actually priced that bad but good god the shipping cost is atrocious. I cant figure out the can though. It looks like a B&T of some flavor, but all their current models are to wide to fit inside the rail (Allows 38mm/1.5in diameter suppressor). Anyone know what it might be?

Can anyone help me find this optic mount for the MP5, B&T 21222. I can’t find it anywhere online. I’ve tried secondary market as well can’t seem to find one.

I've got an APC223 SBR that I took to the range a couple days ago, and wound up having some FTF/FTE's with double feeds during my first 100 or so rounds, getting progressively worse throughout the range session. Started with one round every 15-20 rounds, then progressed to just about every round by the end of the session. Is it common that APC223's need a break in period? Is there a recommended gas setting, like running it on the adverse setting for the first few hundred rounds, then dialing it back?

I noticed the gun had almost no recoil... talking, basically none, on the 1.9 setting on the gas block. Racking the bolt manually cycles everything well, and I was seeing both issues where the fired casings would stay on the extractor and get shoved back into the chamber, but also issues where the casings would come off the extractor and the bolt would attempt to pick up another round from the mag and shove it behind the fired casing, inducing a double feed. Using 55gr XM193, some 40gr Fiocchi V-Max that I had laying around, and some 75gr Sierra OTMs from Prvi Partisan all pretty much had the same result. I thought maybe it might be something to do with the 75gr ammo having a slightly longer bullet ogive, but I don't think that's really what's going on. Tried using some old D&H aluminum mags, Lancer AWMs and Pmags, same result, thus I don't think it's a mag or ammo thing.

I do have a Surefire Warden on the end, no suppressor right now. I don't think that's realistically going to impact the bolt velocity.

I will also say, on the fired brass I don't really see any kind of markings on the brass from the extractor ripping at the brass, fired brass seems pretty clean and not fouled. There are no dents or dings on the case walls, they just look like clean, fired brass. Ejection pattern was pretty consistent to my 4 oclock when I did see ejection.

The gun does operate smoothly, with the typical detent feel as the bolt goes home. I'm not feeling any extra grittiness anywhere in the action, the gun seems reasonably clean overall.

In desperate need of a B&T TP9 suppressor to Tri-Lug conversion kit. Anyone know of a source?

Searched and didn't find anything. Title and pictures say it all. Will a mash hook fit in that undersized hole?

Really want to use for my Zpap m70..

I received my FRT from the pre-order. Fit and finish was as advertised. Install was straight forward and it works semi and safe. BUT FRT mode is not working. When flipped to FRT the trigger is not fully resetting and locking so I am getting hammer follow with a dead trigger. I am getting full extraction and rechambering of the next round but the hammer is following the bolt home with a dead trigger. Dry fire testing with no pressure on the trigger seems to work correctly and the trigger is visabily resting and audibly locking. ANY pressure on the trigger while dry testing and it is not resetting. Have used several different ammo manufactures and having the same issue.

FYI, not my first FRT and I am not over squeezing the trigger. I have tried varying pressure with just enough pressure to get the initial break. I have even tried to quickly fire the first round and release to try and see if that would allow the trigger to reset but I still am getting the same result. Emailed Cloak but figured I would post here as well.

UPDATE: Customer service responded first thing Monday morning and sent me a return shipping label. Sent out the next day and had a replacement trigger by Saturday. Can't really ask for more in this situation from a company. New trigger is working as advertised with no issues. Put two mags thru it of 115grn and ran like a sowing machine. I have friends that did the EVT conversion and they wish they would have waited for this trigger since there is zero machining that has to be done and it is 1/3 of the cost. It truly is drop in and go. I just pre-ordered the APC FRT trigger as well!
