As far as the reciprocating CH and limited ability to swap AR stuff, I’m hopeful B&T comes out with a PRO version of their rifles. If they follow the pattern of the APC9 then I’d be all over an 8” bbl APC300.
I think if B&T quits half-assin the lower thing and goes all AR grips across the board along with non-recip or at least folding charging handle, and eliminates the 3-lug - they’d be nigh perfect.
Still going to have an APC45 or a GHM45 sooner than later. Rattler will come first.

Help me out here. What would be illegal? Not being a smart ass. Genuinely curious.
M2 ball is an armor piercing round. It’s my understanding (and I could be wrong) that manufacturing AP pistol ammo is illegal if you do not have the proper FFL (regardless of if you intend to sell it). You can manufacture your own AP rifle ammunition and purchase rifle AP ammo, but not pistol AP ammo.
By loading AP rifle bullets into casings you intend to fire through a pistol - you can run afoul of the law (see 5.56 Greentip problems).
