The Q The Fix 8.6 Blackout SBR is a bolt-action short-barreled rifle built to be carried and shot suppressed (brand part no. FIX-86-8IN-SBR-BLK). Q pairs an 8-inch barrel and a fast 1:3 twist with a folding chassis that brings the complete rifle down to 18 inches collapsed, and the whole configuration weighs 4 pounds 14 ounces. A Cherry Bomb XL muzzle device comes fitted, giving the rifle a direct path into Q’s silencer system without an adapter stack. It is aimed at compact hunting, transport and suppressed field use where a full-length bolt gun is a burden.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 8.6 Blackout, the heavy-bullet cartridge this rifle was designed around.

• Twist rate is 1:3, built around the heavy projectiles that define 8.6 Blackout.
• The action is bolt-action, a simple and light system for suppressed hunting and field use.

• Weight is 4 pounds 14 ounces, which leaves room for an optic, silencer and field gear.
