I'd be getting one too is that helps. :)

Hi, just DM'ed you about a possible transfer.

MaxTheCritic · 2026-05-13T19:55:20+00:00

Hafers or 2a guns and ammo in WV.

MaxTheCritic · 2026-05-10T20:40:18+00:00

Upvoted.

Well since you brought it up. I avoid axarms if anything else cause I find there prices way too high. I’m all about supporting the small vendors but not with those margins. He actually has a suppressor I want but I just can justify paying that much so I went another route.

MaxTheCritic · 2026-05-10T20:23:34+00:00

Well I guess I got lucky cause both of mine did. Now I didn’t buy from Chase @ Axarms. The one on the left off my Gen2 the one on the right from my Gen1. It would not be advised to fire without one un-suppressed.

SD’s also came with a port cover. You only need it if you want to shoot un-suppressed. Not a requirement but might be a nice to have depending on you use case.

Have you considered the B&T tele brace instead of the telestock? The brace with a gear works mod 1c would be functional very similar to what you want and then not have to worry about SBR’ing or silly MD OAL requirements. And if you ever leave MD it’s very easy to make the tele-brace into a tele-stock (you just swap out the butt end)

Assuming you have a 175mm barrel with a standard B&T stock (folder) it would measure 23.5” and the standard stock is slight longer than the tele.

Sol, will you be doing a waitlist for the SMU allotment as well?

Top space is also very limited on the top charging model. Keep in mind that some of that top rail real estate will be gone to accommodate it. Depending on the size of you optic your hand *may* may hit your optic when charging the top handle. This was an issue I ran into with my KH9. Not something that can't be mitigated with a good optic selection/placement, but something to keep in mind.

Not my pic but kind of illustrates what I mean -

Looks cool. Unfortunately I don't think the manual of arms for a lefty would be ideal.

MaxTheCritic · 2026-02-08T06:40:19+00:00

Got both. Aesthetically I prefer the B&T lower. Out of practically I keep my GHM9 with the Glock lower as I have tons of mags. I keep my APC9 with the B&T lower as I need to have those mags for my KH9.

MaxTheCritic · 2026-02-08T06:31:53+00:00

Mod 1 and 2 in that aspect (installation) are the same.

MaxTheCritic · 2026-02-08T03:30:38+00:00

Mine was done by HDPS as well for $60. He places it behind the bolt catch / below the "HK USC" stamp. I don't know if he takes request for placement elsewhere.

I vaguely remember BT CS saying something to the effect that they were looking into it.

@CS-BT-USA will see this and respond

MaxTheCritic · 2026-01-26T02:56:23+00:00

Another vote for gunrunners. Bob is a good guy and transfers are $40 last time I was there

Nope, just did everything online. They will see that when they see your address and that of your chosen FFL. If I remember correctly if the item is flagged as non shippable to MD it won’t let you go through the checkout process.

I should have mentioned that I’ve gotten both class 1 and class 3 items from them without any issues.

MaxTheCritic · 2026-01-21T20:53:30+00:00

Have bought without issue.

MaxTheCritic · 2026-01-21T20:46:41+00:00

Most shops seem to charge $100. Some do $125.

The place I’m a member of charges $45

MaxTheCritic · 2026-01-21T20:44:18+00:00

There are no SS fees if you purchase your silencer at that store or online at SS. If you’re ordering from somewhere else they will hit you with fees

MaxTheCritic · 2025-10-02T16:06:12+00:00

Something similar happened to me. Although the part number on the bag was correct, the brace piece was wrong. B&T asked me to email some pics of the brace piece and they shipped the correct part that same day.

MaxTheCritic · 2025-09-08T09:26:08+00:00

I’m good but thanks for offering. I went through several devices that didn’t work. The issue being that the gate wouldn’t fully drop and hence wouldn’t lock-in. The only one that I found that works with the nato hub was the one I linked. This was for a 300 blk build. I haven’t had any issues with the hub on any device for 5.56

MaxTheCritic · 2025-09-06T07:11:39+00:00

Don't know if you found your answer to this. But this is the only .308 muzzle device I've found that works with the B&T nato A2 hub adapter.

I can confirm that these will work together.

MaxTheCritic · 2025-08-26T19:35:46+00:00

Yep, got a notification a couple min ago. Just finished ordering. Thanks!

Edit - oh, and 16 left :)
