Black Collar Arms recently announced the introduction of the 8.6 Blackout and .375 Raptor calibers to their short-barreled rifle lineup, which for these two chamberings is called the Pork Sword Stalker. Black Collar Arms launched their Pork Sword pistol and rifle products in 2019, which brought more options to the ultra-compact bolt gun table, as well as a variety of different caliber barrels to choose from. The new offerings of 8.6 Blackout and .375 Raptor were chosen for their ability to deliver both supersonic, and heavier subsonic projectiles on target with plenty of energy, even from short barrels. Two of the links directly below offer a bit more history behind the two calibers, and you can read Black Collar Arms’ full press that follows.

Leander, TX (10/11/2022) – Chambered in either 8.6 Blackout or 375 Raptor, the new Pork Sword Stalker from Black Collar Arms is a big bore 12-inch shorty that’s purpose built for hunting and tactical use.

Designed to fire both supersonic and subsonic ammunition, the suppressor-ready Pork Sword Stalker is compact and lightweight. It’s especially handy and capable in tight environments such as in a side-by-side or other vehicle, in a deer blind, on foot in brush or other tricky terrain, or in many tactical situations.

At the same time, the match-grade barrel, Pork Sword Custom Action, and impressive ballistics of these two, hard-hitting cartridges can deliver big game stopping energy on targets hundreds of yards away with fantastic accuracy. For example, the Pork Sword Stalker in 375 Raptor delivers 270 grain soft point projectiles with sub-MOA accuracy and over 1,000 ft-lbs of retained energy onto targets beyond 550 yards away. All from a 12-inch barrel!

The Black Collar Arms Pork Sword Stalker is available as a pistol or as a factory SBR. Caliber-matched AB Suppressor Raptor 8 silencer packages are also available directly from the Pork Sword Stalker page.
