MIC DROP: B&T Releases The APC223

In yet another move to infiltrate the United States and spread awesomeness through the land, B&T has just announced that the first shipment of APC223 ~~rifles~~ pistols has arrived. Of course, they are all sold out to dealers across the country, but fear not, a new shipment is on the way.

The picture above is an example of B&T’s partnership with SBTactical, a company dedicated to manufacturing pistol stabilizing braces for a variety of different platforms. Even if you purchase an APC223 with the intent of converting it to a Short Barreled Rilfe using a the ATF Form 1 process, the SB Tactical brace gives the APC the look of a rifle while you wait for approval.

Minh at TheHardPoint/HighCaliberMFG, who previously shared their recent acquisition of a handful of the B&T KH9 limited release pistols, has come through again with a set of exclusive pictures of the APC223 in rifle form. I think I’m in love.
