B&T RBS Print-XH Initial Impressions

Picked up the new B&T RBS Print XH yesterday and paired it with the Rearden Ti Atlas mount.

My copy comes in at 10.45 oz without a hub adapter, or 11.65 oz with the Rearden mount. This is insane for a 7.1” suppressor.

Finish is the SS exclusive matte black which looks nice.

I’ll be primarily running this on a Ballistic Advantage 12.3” build and with a Riflespeed adjustable gas block, and G$ Super 42 H2 spring and buffer kit.

Unsuppressed my gun locks back on gas setting 5 and doesn’t at 4. I run it at setting 6 to make sure it runs.

With my Polo K and SiCo 36M I use setting 2, and the gun runs and locks back on setting 1 and setting 2 nets 4 o’clock ejection. There can be some gas to the face with fast shooting.

With the RBS Print XH the gun runs exactly the same as Unsuppressed on the same settings. Setting 4 doesn’t lock back, 5 does, I run on setting 6. Perfect 4 o’clock ejection, zero gas to the face. Out of curiosity I set the gun on the fully open setting 12 option, still zero gas to the face.

I only put 50 ish rounds through the can, but the first shot always shot a small cluster of sparks. From B&T’s info on this can the sparking should minimalist around 200 rounds. This isn’t a characteristic that is important to me but I know others will ask.

Sound was fantastic. This was sadly at an indoor range so it wasn’t the best setting to really get a grasp for the sound but to me it sounded like the sound of the round hitting the back stop was louder than the report from the muzzle. I plan to shoot this can on this rifle in a PCSL match next weekend with first and third person video and will make a new post on sound later.

Fouling in the magazine was no worse than shooting unsuppressed to me, a drastic change from my other cans. This was awesome to see.

The can got hot and steamy quick but cooled down to the touch after about 5 mins.

Overall I’m incredibly happy. Let me know what other questions you have and I’ll do my best to answer/test. Pics for attention.
