#B&TUSA

Our friends at B&T USA have just announced the release of the SPR86 – an integrally suppressed bolt action rifle chambered in 8.6 Blackout. The SPR86 is the older/bigger sibling to the B&T USA SPR300 Pro chambered in 300BLK (one of my remaining grail guns). Upsizing the 300BLK platform, the 8.6BLK SPR86 launches heavier bullets farther with the same level of extreme accuracy. Pricing, details, and additional information can be found in the press release below.

B&T USA have announced a limited run of APC9K SD2, a scalably suppressed APC9K which was offered to the US Army’s Sub Compact Weapon program. Back in April 2019, B&T won the new Sub Compact Weapon contract in competition with five other companies. The conventional APC9K was selected and B&T were awarded an initial order for 350 guns. Since then the USAF has also procured a number of the SCWs.

Two cornerstone suppressor companies have just announced an agreement on a quick detach (QD) suppressor mounting system collaboration. B&T USA and SureFire have reached a partnership where B&T has the exclusive rights to manufacture suppressors that utilize SureFire QD attachments.

Physics is an unrelenting mistress, especially when we are discussing terminal ballistics.  I am the last guy you want explaining high school physics, but Newton’s laws of motion apply whether you are a target shooter, a hunter, or a soldier. All things being equal more mass traveling at higher velocities will result in a greater transfer of energy. Factoring subsonic velocities into the equation makes transferring that energy even more challenging. B&T USA has stepped into the world of bigger subsonic cartridges with the B&T USA Advanced Precision Rifle in 8.6BLK.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new YHM Turbo T3 5.56 rifle suppressor. Last week I made my pitch that everyone should own a 5.56mm bolt action rifle and suppressor combination (the Ruger American Ranch in particular). This week we dive into a classic pairing that is becoming more and more prevalent every year in the United States – H&K and B&T. Specifically, the B&T SQD RBS – Super Quick Disconnect and Reduced Backpressure System 9mm suppressor – on the H&K MP5 and MP5K sub-machine guns. Yes it’s awesome, but we should look at the details before typing in our billing information. Let’s dig in.

Looking for a new short-barreled rifle? B&T USA is introducing new APC9 models with their newly released MBT telescoping and folding stock, with either a 6.9-inch or a longer 8.9-inch barrel. However, the biggest news is the new aluminum lower receiver with ambidextrous controls and a flared magazine well. Both models come with a tri-lug muzzle device attachment.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to another edition of TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM Turbo K 556 rifle suppressor. Last week we explored the Prairie Tactical PTAC-BOLT rimfire suppressor. This week we continue the .22LR theme with a look at the B&T USA 22 Suppressor – a lightweight, inexpensive, and super quiet rimfire silencer. If you are in the market for a .22LR suppressor, buy it – you will not be disappointed. Hang on, so is today’s review over? I think not. Let’s add a twist and put this Swiss baby into full auto mode.

B&T USA has partnered with Florida-based B&T dealer The Armories to offer an SD version of the 9x19mm GHM9. The package has been tuned to function as a system and is equipped with B&T’s RBS suppressor system.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM Turbo K rifle suppressor. Last week, after teasing it for a few months, we finally got around to shooting the KAC 5.56mm QDC/CQB – probably the most sought after silencer currently on the market. Today we dive back into the world of B&T USA with a look at a back pressure beast of a suppressor – the7.62 RBS Compact SF QDR. Is it worth its weight? Let’s take a look.

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.

Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us for TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 multi-host suppressor. Last week… well last week I took Saturday off to finish a few projects, my apologies for missing our usual Saturday meetings. But the last time we talked we were discussing the AB Suppressor Raptor reflex suppressors – impressive performance. The week before that we walked through the B&T USA ROTEX-X NATO mounting system. We return this week with a look at the B&T RBS suppressor and the QDR mounting system. How does it stack up? Let’s take a look.

Back in January 2022, B&T USA  announced the arrival of the SPC9 – Special Purpose Carbine. Well, now they’ve introduced the SPC9 PDW SD. The new SPC9 PDW SD is a 9x19mm pistol caliber carbine. Essentially a short-barrelled rifle (SBR) with an integrally suppressed, ported barrel compatible with the RBS (Reduced Backpressure System) suppressor.

Good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining us for another Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the YHM R9 multi-host suppressor. Last week we brought you the first in a three part series of the AB Suppressor Raptor rifle silencers. This week we start our journey into the world of sweet Swiss silence with a step by step look at how to mount the B&T ROTEX-X rifle suppressors. Do you like NATO birdcage flash hiders? Because this is how you get NATO birdcage flash hiders. Let’s take a look.

Suppressor junkies rejoice! The latest 5.56 suppressor from B&T is finally shipping! The ROTEX-X Suppressor is a lightweight version of the ROTEX-V which is currently in use with NATO allies over in Europe. The ROTEX-X apparently maintains the same performance as its heavier predecessor but manages to somehow weigh 20% less than the ROTEX-V. This reduction in weight should translate to a similar reduction in the point of aim/point of impact while still providing great sound and flash suppression. The new suppressor is on sale and shipping now from your B&T retailers and is sold for an MSRP of $675. TFB’s Editor in Chief Pete will have a full review of the ROTEX-X suppressor coming up in about two weeks, so be sure to check out his review over on Silencer Saturday to get the lowdown on it.

Back in January B&T USA announced the arrival of the SPC9 – Special Purpose Carbine, well now they’ve introduced a 16-inch barrel version. The new SPC9-16 is aimed primarily at the PCC competitor market while also offering a barrel which can get the best out of 9x19mm in all other situations and doesn’t need a brace.
