New adjustable stocks from Swiss B&T
For the Swiss B&T APC-9/45 semi-automatic carbines and B&T APC223/300 semi-auto rifles there are multiple shoulder stocks available. It seems the swiss never run out of ideas to produce.
If you’re unfamiliar with the B&T APC it can be described as a modern HK MP5.
The latest addition to the APC line is the B&T telescopic stock, which has 3 + 1 positions (length only) adjustable settings.
The new stock offers extremely compact dimension, and can be extracted very fast by simply pulling it out.
The stock is self locking and there is no need to press any levers when pulling it out.
To get it back in the minimized position, simply press the lever and push it back in.
The stock is very easy to operate, offers great support albeit its limited size and, most important of all, it is possible to shoot with the stock in the minimized position.
Collapsed the shortest B&T APC9 is only 404 mm (15.9″) overall. Extended 582 mm ((22.9″).
The weapon design between the APC9 and the AR-15 is obviously not the same, but compared to the North Eastern Arms Compact Carbine Stock the B&T solution feels much better and more reliable.
The price? If you have to ask…688 CHF or roughly 700 USD.
As the buffer and spring is built into the stock, and the quantities are limited, this is most likely the main reasons behind the hefty price tag.
B&T also have a lot of options for the H&K MP5/MP5SD/MP5k range of sub-machine guns.
Also, if you are lucky to own one, the new stock seems to fit the B&T 40 mm Greande Launcher.
Below, some examples:

When I first saw Die Hard, I wanted an MP5. When the UMP came out, I still wanted an MP5. When the Scorpion EVO came out, I still wanted an MP5. When the Sig MPX came out, I was more impressed, but still wanted an MP5.
Then I saw the B&T APC9, and now I want it, not an MP5.
Nice that MP5/SP89 clones are coming out and getting (slightly, relatively) more reasonably priced than they were just a few, scant years ago. However they still seem way overpriced, and it's a big tax to pay for the "cool factor" of an MP5 clone when the idea of an SMG in and of itself is more or less just for cool factor.
Still, the notoriously high price of MP5 clones (never mind the real deal) makes it easier to swallow the high price tag of a B&T APC9. But if the reviews are to be believed then you're getting your money's worth on the B&T.
Are 922r parts available just in case somebody wants to SBR one of these?
