I just heard on a video with Larry Vickers speaking with a rep from B&T that they will be importing a 16 inch APC pistol in the first quarter of 2018. What can you tell us Grant?

It's on his website and you can sign up to be on the wait list. One of the videos on YouTube said they are already in the US and will be at dealers soon.
Grant, any additional information you can share.
How many US parts does it need to convert to rifle?
1. Receiver
2. Barrel
3. Operating rod (not likely applicable, though could be interpreted as cocking handle)
4. Gas piston
5. Handguard
6. Trunion
7. Muzzle attachment
8. Bolt
9. Bolt carrier
10. Trigger
11. Trigger housing
12. Hammer
13. Sear (not relevant if swapping to US FCG )
14. Disconnector
15. Buttstock
16. Pistol grip (integral to trigger housing)
17. Magazine body
18. Follower
19. Floorplate
So 19, less #3, #13, and #16 leaves 16 total eligible parts, 17 if you count the cocking handle as the operating rod. Use a Geissele FCG and that gives you hammer, trigger, disconnector. US mag gives you body, follower, and floorplate. You’re compliant if you don’t count the cocking handle. Add a US muzzle device and you’re compliant if you are counting the cocking handle.
Any other details you can share, or just a 16 in barrel version?
So glad I held out on the short barrel while hoping the 16" barrel model APC556 would eventually come in...
