#Sig550

James Reeves heads to B&T headquarters to pit the classic long-stroke SIG 550 against the modular short-stroke B&T APC-223, interviewing B&T founder Karl Brügger and engineer Sebastian for a deep dive on Swiss manufacturing, accuracy standards, gas systems, suppressor readiness, hydraulic buffering, magazine flexibility, pricing, and U.S. import nuances before shooting both rifles side by side to see whether old-school precision or modern modularity wins on the range.

Welcome back to another installment of Silencer Saturday. Last week we looked at some of the results from the 2024 Thunderbeast Arms Silencer Summit. This week we have a closer look at a very unique silencer that will probably never be tested at that kind of event.

These photos, showing the upcoming 7.62x39mm version of the SIG556, is purportedly straight from SIG Sauer.
