Range day with the prototype APC9 hand guards!

Hey everyone- while we wait for the test extrusions to be done, I wanted to share some pics from a range day of the 3d printed prototype hand guards we have coming for the APC9 an APC9k. Fitment is a little wonky in the pics, but you get the idea.
We’re re working the top mounting block but the designs are basically finalized.
Personally I’m super pumped for these - the K especially so.
The test extrusions should be arriving later this month! Check out our website for more info as well and to join the waitlist!

MASSIVE FRAUD – proof that Sean Sullivan EMBEZZELED $1.8M from B&T USA

TL;DR: B&T AG (the Swiss parent) has provided proof that Sean Sullivan purposely defrauded the Malaysian government of and subsequently embezzled $1.8 million, doing a wire transfer to his personal account. Additionally, he took over $1 million of orders through B&T Parts for product not in stock which he has no intention of or ability to fill. If you have an open, unfilled order from B&T parts, do a chargeback NOW. If you have a warranty gun at B&T, demand they return it NOW.

B&T USA has accrued and defaulted on over $15 million in debt which remains unpaid; has lost the ability to purchase new firearms, parts, or product from its main supplier; is unable to fulfill orders from customers; and is at risk of significant financial instability and further embezzlement in addition to the approximately $1.8 million that Cloverleaf recently diverted to a personal account for [Sean] Sullivan.” – statement of Namada Enterprises (owned by Swiss parent B&T AG) in the complaint.

Read it all for yourself HERE [link downloads PDF from FL courts]. Included is a copy of the wire confirmation showing $1.78 million transferred to the personal account of Sean Reidpath Sullivan.

Beginning of longer post:

I have previously posted accurate information warning of the B&T USA due to the actions of owner Sean Sullivan, with the goal of helping everyone with money at risk. People have fairly asked about sources, which I have not been able to provide to protect them – now there is proof.

Sean now out of the country (perhaps fleeing prosecution? Time will tell). He is the one posting from u/bt-usa account, doing so at all hours of the night while taking personal offense to posts challenging him. He has called my information inaccurate and “fake” while simultaneously obscuring and delaying, trying to keep his Ponzi scheme going as long as possible. DO NOT fall for his lies.

The critical things you need to know:

B&T USA at Sean’s direction is NOT granting any refunds on B&T Parts orders. Sean collected over $1 million of YOUR money and will not/is unable to return it. Sean directed his customer service team to lie (contributing to them quitting in protest) and is now personally responding, purposely stalling as documented by multiple Reddit users, best described HERE and also documented HERE, HERE, and many more across multiple threads.

B&T USA lacks the parts to make new guns or do warranty repair on guns. Also included, that B&T customer service quit en masse this previous Friday. Sean is trying to direct people to an email that there are no dedicated employees to monitor and users have repeatedly not received a response from for months. Sean has responded to certain Reddit users who have inquired about their orders, warranty repairs, or send them a shipping label for their firearms. He spent the last several days sending emails himself from the service email to issue these, trying to make it look like they are still staffed. He repeatedly claims things are just “a few weeks out.”

DO NOT SEND ANYTHING IN, and get back what you have. A RMA number or shipping label is another stall tactic. Anyone with a gun there needs to demand it back ASAP. It may already be too late to recover it. B&T AG has already publicly stated that they are forming a new US entity, and will service firearm warranty issues for the guns they have produced. It is far better to hold your gun for that than risk never seeing it again with Sean Sullivan’s B&T USA collapse. Tagging u/Current_Somewhere_51 because of his recent thread. Please help by tagging other affected users in the comments.

From the complaint, and supporting the lack of parts and ability to build guns:

“B&T USA’s outstanding and overdue debt in excess of $15 million resulted in the inability of B&T USA to continue to purchase firearms and parts from B&T AG.”

“B&T USA did not have the parts or optics to actually produce or sell the firearms purchased and intended for the Malaysian government” – sworn statement of 33% owner Peter Penzell

Now that Sean as exhausted his parts supply, the ONLY thing he is able to do is print suppressors. He has increased the print speed to produce more units, resulting in the terrible surface finish of the suppressors currently going out, as he admits.

Sean has lied and defamed B&T AG, claiming the Swiss are at fault for his failure. Hilariously, he falsely claimed that the Swiss were using MIM parts purchased from China. This is demonstrably false, as videos of the Swiss operation show, and influencers like James Reeves u/Preauxmetheus have seen in person. In reality, the parts resulting in QC issues were not Swiss produced, but made by Sean. The move to Utah was due to compliance issues on the Tampa license (Sean may have recently surrendered a Tampa FFL, but this is not verified), and he picked Utah because he wanted to ski. Sean did not inform the Swiss of the move ahead of time. Every desperate thing that Sean is posting to deflect blame is an outright lie.

Ultimately, it is Karl’s name on the company and guns, and he will stand by that. Sean has revealed himself as a liar and thief. If you have anything with B&T USA, get it back now! If you are shopping for B&T firearms from independent dealers, know that Karl will back his product and have a new entity established to do this, plus supply firearms, in the near future. The dealers are also impacted and facing slow sales due to Sean’s criminality, for no fault of their own.

Finally – a repost from my last thread. The only known employees still at B&T USA and checking their email addresses are (ypado@bt-usa.com), Danette (danetter@bt-usa.com) and Sam (ar@bt-usa.com). You can also try calling Sam (813-653-1200 ext 1014), Yvonne (813-653-1200 ext 1001) or Danette (813-653-1200 ext 1021) and leaving a voicemail for them, but I am not sure you will get a response. Still, it is worth the contact to try and get your gun back! For refunds, file a chargeback NOW.

B&T-USA's Response To Some Questions.

This response is hidden under some discussions so I am bringing this up as a separate post. Just a messenger, I have no idea if this is real or just damage control. Probably a little bit of both.

"$15M = First, $15M not an accurate amount, it's substantially less, but the majority of any open invoices to the Swiss relate to: Incomplete deliveries of parts, rejected foreign Government orders or items pending in production now.

Missing money = there is nothing missing, B&T USA's financials are reviewed by both an American and Swiss audit firm every year.

Share transfers - any matter that is currently being litigated will not be discussed.

$1.8M = not sure what you are referring to related to Trident.

On to the important topics:

B&T USA has been producing the majority of the weapons shipped to the US market in the US for several years. During the move to Utah, we diverted a lot of production back to the Swiss, but that created a significant QC/supply issue that we are fixing now.

The APCs / SPCs / GHMs / TP9s all have been US made in various configurations for years and will come back online in that order. We have only partially produced the KH9 series in the US, so that is up in the air if it will continue or not. We do have some kits that will be assembled in the coming weeks.

We have never disclosed to the market what guns are made where and what parts are made where. What we can tell you, is that since 2020, only about 5% of the B&T products shipped into the US market have been entirely Swiss made. As we tool up for production of missing parts or rejected Swiss parts, there will be no quality sacrifices made and the consumer will get a top tier B&T product that meets or exceeds all of our design specifications."

The ultimate 10mm SBR …

IMO, this is the best 10mm SBR setup 🚀

- B&T APC 10 with folding stock

- B&T SQD40 Suppressor

- Acro Micro T2 sight

- Scalarworks LEAP/02 mount for T2

- BE.Meyers MAWL-C1+

- Surfire Scout light with dual tailcap

- Unity Axon switch

- Single point sling

p.s. I did not put any vertical grip on this since you technically should use the mag area to clamp. Similar to HK UMP IYKYK …

Thoughts?

Absolute Nightmare with Customer Service.

I ordered an APC9SD in October of 2025, and was told my gun would ship to my FFL within 30-60 days. After 70 days, I called CS, and they said it would ship by the end of February. Once that date passed, I called again, and they said it would ship by the end of March. I called at the beginning of April (the gun still hadn’t shipped), and they said it would be within two weeks. By this time, I was done waiting and canceled my order. The last communication I received from CS stated I would receive my refund within 5-7 business days of April 9th. As of now, I haven’t received my money back, and despite multiple emails to the customer service email, phone calls, and voicemails, I haven’t received a single response from anyone at B&TUSA.

This is easily the worst customer service experience I’ve ever had. If you’re thinking about buying anything from B&TUSA, for the love of all that is Holy, please don’t. You do so at your own peril and the expense of your sanity.

Gen 2 rev 3 trunion?

Hi there, I have all the parts to build an SD. The only thing I'm missing is the gen 2 rev 3 trunion. The only place I can find one is from B&T USA and of course they are sold out / can't trust id receive it anyways. Does anyone know where I can source one or have one laying around? Or the other option would be to find the gen 2 SD barrel which is pretty much unobtanium.

B&T USA is OUT of PARTS & no longer able to build guns or complete warranty work. Customer service has quit. Best contact info inside

TL;DR: B&T has no more parts for new guns or warranty work, everything coming out is blemished and customer service has quit.

In Sean's desperate attempt to float his failing Ponzi scheme a little longer, he has now EXHAUSTED the supply of receivers and parts to build out new guns. He is reportedly sweating hard as he CANNOT FULFILL any of his upcoming contract obligations. As a reminder, B&T Swiss cut him off after over $15M in accrued, unpaid bills while Sean diverted money elsewhere.

Anything that has shipped recently has been blemished or non-functional, which Sean is counting on the lead time for people getting and shooting them to discover, which he can then stall on warranty. There is a growing stockpile of warranty guns that they lack the parts to fix, with some having been there several months. If you have a gun there, GET IT BACK ASAP. The new B&T AG entity plans to warranty the guns - better to have the gun in hand and wait rather than it get lost in the B&T collapse.

As more and more employees leave the sinking ship including all of customer service, and Sean has conveniently left the country, time is running out to be made whole. Reminder that as posted in a previous update and confirmed by other commenters, Sean is not giving any more refunds for guns or parts ordered directly from B&T through their B&T parts website, your only option is a chargeback.

The few remaining employees handling customer contacts are Yvonne (ypado@bt-usa.com), Danette (danetter@bt-usa.com) and Sam (ar@bt-usa.com). The service email that Sean tries to push people to NO LONGER has any dedicated customer service employees to monitor it. Yvonne, Danette, and Sam are your best hope of getting a response. You can also try calling Sam (813-653-1200 ext 1014), Yvonne (813-653-1200 ext 1001) or Danette (813-653-1200 ext 1021) and leaving a voicemail for them.

APC10 29in+ OAL SBR

Due to the recent brace rule change (also: I find the Form 4999 intentionally confusing), I am trying to determine if it’s time for me to Form 1 SBR an APC10 pistol.

In order to be state compliant, I will need the SBR to be a minimum of 29in OAL without a suppressor (unless it was pinned and welded, which would totally defeat the purpose of the tri-lug QD, so I would like to avoid going that route unless there’s no other way) and with whatever-you-want-to-call-the-thing-that-may-touch-a-shoulder fully extended. Relevant: I would much prefer a tele setup rather than a folder.

Should I keep the APC10 a pistol? If so: what are your thoughts on the B&T tele brace (assuming I can find one somewhere collecting dust on a shelf)?

Or should I convert it? If so, where should I be looking for a tele stock and other parts that would get me to a 29in+ OAL?

Blemished/damaged B&T

Is there documentation/photos of what your blemished or "warrantied" B&T looks like? All posts on here have nice platforms, but it doesn't seem like there's public knowledge other than hearsay individual situations about their firearm being out of service and needing warranty repair.

What is it exactly you found, that needed to be repaired by the factory? You'd expect B&T to not really be able to keep up with warranty items at this larger US market scale, because of the limited employees and it being a smaller company. It'd be interesting to hear if the APC9K pro contract with the US gov is subject to this large warranty repair work too
