The concept of the SILO was conceived on a crop control hunt where an actual grain silo was used as a blind. One shooter, an active SOF community member, was using a bean bag strapped to the legs of his Atlas Bipod to rest his rifle on the silo’s window ledge. The other shooter thought this was a bulky solution to providing a “soft” interface between the rifle and concrete ledge. As the hunt continued, the conversation turned to gear, which led to our BT53 SILO.
The BT53 SILO is a novel and patented product that attaches by means of a Picatinny rail. It provides a textured front that can be pressed into barricades, rubber side bars for “soft” side bracing and grip, 600 denier cordura “bean-bag” bottom for “soft” interface on ledges, windows etc. and two flush cups.
One of the two flush cups is designed to accept our novel BT54 Flush Cup Stud (NOT included with purchase of a BT53). It is an option sold separately that allows the BT53 SILO to be easily installed, moved and removed with the push of a button.
It is comprised of 6061-T6 aluminum that is Mil-Spec Type III hard coat anodized.
