Precision Performance & Harmonic Tuning for Non-Magnum Calibres
The APW Black Bird delivers the unmatched quality, performance, and slimline aesthetic you expect from Axis Precision Worx. Based on our trusted Little Bird design, the Black Bird brings added versatility for shooters who rely on factory ammunition rather than custom handloads.
Featuring an optional Integrated Stainless Steel Tuner, the Black Bird empowers shooters to fine-tune their barrel harmonics to match specific ammunition brands—a game-changer for maintaining precision during ammo shortages.
Proudly designed and manufactured in South Africa, each Black Bird is packaged with care and includes a neat storage cover for protection when not in use.
