This is a B&T Station SIX45, the .45 ACP version of B&T's integrally suppressed bolt action pistol. The receiver is marked US 22-693xx, SIX45, Cal. .45ACP, B&T, Thun, Switzerland and B&T USA, Tampa, FL. The suppressor tube carries its own number, US 22-693xxS, alongside US 2022, .45 ACP, SIX45 and SD-122951-US, Rev. 00. The pistol has been used as a shop demonstrator and is in good used condition. It comes in its B&T soft case with one magazine and the factory manual.
B&T builds the Station SIX at Thun in Switzerland as a modern take on the bolt action pistol, and the company traces the design back to the covert Welrod of the Second World War, the name itself nodding to the Special Operations Executive sections known as Station VI and Station IX. The action is manually operated, a rotating bolt the shooter turns and draws for each shot, fed from a detachable magazine. Because there is no self-loading mechanism there is no action noise when the pistol is fired, and barrel backpressure has no effect on the gun. The suppressor is integral and uses wipes rather than conventional baffles, a design B&T notes will need repacking after a finite number of shots. The line is offered in two chamberings, the SIX9 in 9x19mm with a 3 inch barrel and a nine round magazine, and this SIX45 in .45 ACP with a 3.5 inch barrel and a seven round magazine.
