Very nice! I have the telescopic brace on my KH9 and love it so much that I’m thinking of taking the SB Tactical braces off of my APC9 and APC9SD and going with a telescopic brace. I run T1s on all my B&Ts as well. The BUIS in the lower FOV bothered me initially on my KH9 so much that I got a set of Bobro Lowrider BUIS, I eventually just got used to the B&T BUIS being in the lower FOV on my GHM9c and now I don’t even notice them.

So is the only way means to mount a suppressor on the APC9 is use a tri-lug mount? I don’t see any provision for a direct thread in any of the pictures.

Does anyone know the overall length (for a form 1) of an APC9 with the B&T telescoping stock?
Also, the APC9 PRO isn't listed on eForms yet. Only the APC9. Interestingly my gun is stamped only "APC9" despite it being the new second gen PRO model with the folding charging handle. Should I select APC9 on the eForms website because that's what the gun is marked, or should I manually enter APC9 PRO because that's what it is? |

So B&T uses standard aimpoint mounts, they just use the qd retrofit kit on them (which they make and supply to aimpoint). Went with a small spacer to rise the optic a nudge above the buis. Can’t wait to get it zero’d later this week if the weather holds. |

Stamp came back on APC9-Pro. Totally different weapon when you add a stock and VFG.
I will also note that the sights are useless with the factory folding stock setup. There are bumps on the folded sight for a reason (2 rear 1 front). I figured out that reason! I have an ACR stock adapter that I am waiting on an ACR stock to see if that helps out any. Had to order a Low mount for the MRO I plan on putting on it. Attached File |

Anyone find a good soft case that can fit the 30rd mags? I think I'm gonna have to find a case built for a UMP if nothing else.

I bought the B&T folding stock (BT-36305) for my APC9 Pro (I wanted the better cheek weld over the telescopic stock). The hinge on the stock was too tall by 1mm and I had to file it down to get it to fit in the rear end piece on the APC. Since I wasn't able to file completely level the stock is a bit wobbly in the folded position. Ugh. I subsequently noticed the following warning on CustomSmithMFG's website for their folding brace: "This folding Host is the same dimensions as the factory B&T Stock- this means that installing it will require a rubber mallet.". It seems to me that even if you force it in with a rubber mallet, there would be too much friction when folding/unfolding the stock. In any case, if it's supposed to be that tight and require a mallet to install then B&T should include a notice saying so (the stock came in a plastic bag with no instructions). I've contacted B&T about this but haven't heard back. Anyway, I can't stand having a wobbly stock so now I'm just going to buy the telescoping stock and hope the cheek weld is good enough.
I also bought an Eotech EXPS2 and it doesn't fit on the APC9 Pro's NAR rail. I tried another EXPS2 unit and it doesn't fit either. Same result with a Vortex Razor AMG UH-1. I'm starting to think that B&T never tests their products with anything but Aimpoints... So now I'm considering buying a Trijicon MRO (the AC32067 low mount adapter looks like it should work with pretty much any rail, no matter how in or out of spec). |

i have the b&t factory stock and i returned it because i thought it wouldnt fit. did not seem physically possible. they told me it would fit with a little force and offered to mail it back or a full refund. i took it back and sure enough i made it fit without mallet. i had to line up at the correct angle and slide in, kinda tricky. opens and closes fine.

I got the same stock for my APC9, APC223 and HK SP5K. Like everyone said, it’s a tight fit. I called B&T about it and they told me that I may have to file a little off or put some oil. I had to file a little off on all 3 stocks and took my time doing it. Fits perfect.

Has anyone tried OG Magpuls on B&T mags? Not the prettiest but looks like they'd provide cushion for drops.

I ran my APC9 the other day for IDPA on an indoor range. I cringed whenever I had to drop a mag because some brainiac decided starting the stages with 6 rounds would be fun.
I did notice that the mags didn't seem to hit too hard when empty. I ordered some extension pieces though because I could see where a loaded mag done in just the right way could ruin your world. |

I wish B&it would sell the buttstock pad separately to convert my brace to a stock... I want to sbr this thing so I can throw on a foregrip because the rails get HOT

Finally got to shoot mine today (APC9 with brace). Holy shit it shoots nniiiiicccee! Accurate as heck too. Way better than my MPX (8 inch barrel). Shot it all the way out to 100 meters/yards semi supported standing (truck bed top). Got a 1.5" 5 shot group using 124 gr Spper GDHP

You can only safe the weapon when the hammer is cocked like a normal AR. The factory trigger has a pivot that lets you safe the weapon hammer up or down. |
