The B&T APC223 (and APC223-SA, APC300, APC300-SA, APC308-SA, SPC223, SPC300 variants) is prohibited in Canada. It was named in SOR/2024-248 (December 2024).

Verdict
The B&T APC223 family is the centrefire AR-pattern sibling of the B&T APC9 PCC family (Batch 5). Same Swiss design philosophy, same Brügger & Thomet machining quality, scaled for centrefire 5.56 / .300 BLK / .308 chamberings instead of 9mm. The SPC sub-variants are suppressor-host configurations. Canadian retailers stocked the APC centrefire line at the $4,500–$7,000 CAD premium tier alongside the FN SCAR 16S and the HK G36 family — Swiss precision at the upper-end of the modern semi-auto sport market. SOR/2024-248 named the entire APC family on December 5, 2024. B&T's full civilian rifle catalogue across both the PCC (APC9) and centrefire (APC223 / APC300 / APC308) lines is now Already Gone on the Index.
