Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary goal of the BST Fabrications and B&T USA collaboration?

The primary goal is to introduce modernized VSS and AS VAL platforms to the US domestic market. They are rechambering the VSS for the more accessible 300 Blackout caliber and developing modular components for interchangeability between variants.

What caliber is the featured VSS variant chambered in, and why?

The featured VSS variant is chambered in 300 Blackout. This decision was made to make ammunition easier to source and more accessible for the US market, moving away from the original 9x39 caliber.

What type of suppressor is being used, and what are its design features?

B&T USA has developed a 3D-printed, flow-through suppressor for this project. It is designed to be relatively lightweight, with plans for future titanium options, and its design is similar to B&T's proven SPR300 suppressor.

What makes the receiver set modular for the VSS and AS VAL platforms?

The receiver set is designed for manufacturing efficiency and modularity, allowing it to accept traditional VSS stocks and a prototype quick-disconnect grip. This enables parts to be easily interchanged between VSS and AS VAL configurations.
