• M-LOK Handguard – Attach lights, lasers, or grips without adding bulk, keeping the pistol nimble for dynamic shooting.
• Flip-Up Adjustable Sights – Front and rear sights fold flat when not needed but offer windage and elevation adjustments for immediate zeroing.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Swiss-made build quality, ambidextrous operation, threaded barrel for accessories, two-stage trigger for precision, M-LOK handguard for modularity.

Cons: Price is high at $4,385, and the 13” barrel limits muzzle velocity compared to full-length rifles. The pistol brace is not included, so factor that into your setup.

FAQ

Does the B&T APC308 13” .308/7.62 NATO Pistol 20+1 Black accept standard AR-15 grips and stocks?

No. The APC308 uses its own proprietary lower receiver and stock interface. While the pistol version comes with a buffer tube ready for a brace (not included), it does not use standard AR-15 grips or stocks without an adapter.

What muzzle devices are compatible with the 5/8×24 threaded barrel?

Any muzzle device with 5/8×24 threading works, including suppressors, compensators, and flash hiders. Ensure the device is rated for .308 / 7.62 NATO pressures.

Can I mount a suppressor on this pistol?

Yes. The 13” barrel is threaded 5/8×24, and the gas piston system helps reduce blowback when suppressed. Use a suppressor rated for .308 to stay safe.

Is this pistol legal to own without a tax stamp?

Yes, as a pistol with a barrel over 16” it is not an NFA item. If you add a vertical foregrip or a stock, it becomes an SBR and requires a tax stamp. Check your local laws before modifying.
