Same here. No point paying Uncle Sugar the $200.00 then wait a indeterminate amount of time for them to allow me to build something I can't carry in my vehicle loaded nor take across state lines without permission with. I'd not put a "real stock" on but one of my pistol builds even if I could do it for free. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I cobbled this one together for use around the homestead the other day.
 Attached FileEven if that brace with the retractable legs was not expensive I don't think I would like it. I don't like the idea of anything getting between me and the safety if you don't have the time to deploy. I've had other guns with M2 type stock legs and never really cared for them much except for the H&K 91/93 ones that fit into a groove in the receiver. Exposed legs are just waiting to hang-up on stuff. With a regular brace set to your OAL preferences it's a grab it and go proposition. It would seem to me if you wanted a shorter OAL your $400.00 would be better spent on one of those side folding buffer tubes and a KAK brace set to your OAL. BTW....The MP K2 grip makes a positive difference (for me) for a AR pistol. I've fitted-out all my AR pistols, save one, with them. |

I have plenty of sbr's and I know they don't count as a rifle in PA, I just don't want to use a stamped item as a trunk gun. I have a law folder on one sbr, I might get another when the mod2 tail hook comes out. Sigh, gotta pay to play lol

No stamp? Pleb. Other than allow for a traditional stock set-up what will your Uncle Sugar approved SBR AR do that a braced AR pistol won't? Is that setup advantage enough to submit yourself to the added restrictions of owning a SBR? It's certainly your money, time, desire, to SBR a AR but it's seems almost rube-ish to SBR a AR at this point so I'd not be throwing rocks.

Anyway, the CQB brace does not block access to the selector lever in my experience.

Honestly, I just ditched it all together. It's lighter, would be more concealable if for some reason I needed it to be. It's not bad shooting without it at all.

I carry an AR pistol. I don't carry it everywhere, but I do carry it.
I have a special backpack that makes it very fast and easy to deploy. If I ever have to shoot someone, the cops will not be asking me about my choice of weapons, and I will not be providing a comment beyond: "I was attacked. I feared for my life, and was forced to take action. I look forward to cooperating with your investigation after I've had an opportunity to speak with my Attorney." Same thing you say no matter what weapon was used. Let your Lawyer worry about how to explain that you carry an AR in your vehicle for the same reason the cops do. This issue is kinda like owning a gun, really. If you don't want a pistol/brace. Don't buy one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
So exactly how many loaded weapons can you legally carry in your vehicle? Seriously, you carry a pistol, on you, then you keep a loaded AR pistol as well? I know your not carrying you AR pistol concealed. I don't know about laws elsewhere, but here having a loaded weapon without having a concealed permit is a big no, and even technically it's illegal to not have it on your person. While we're at it, even the shortest SBR isn't half as easy to maneuver as a pistol in a vehicle. Yes I have SBR's, I even have a pistol lower, honestly I keep a 16" in a locked rifle vault in my vehicle, and a loaded pistol via my CCW. I would like to see someone explaining to authorities why they have a loaded AR pistol, and most likely a pistol, let alone god forbid actually having to use it and not being "painted" as some sort of psycho looking for a fight.

How so? I constantly see people saying you can keep a loaded AR pistol in a car, well true to some extent, but you have to have a concealed permit and you also have to prove you can carry and conceal it, the law in most states still stipulates it HAS to be on your person, but most cops will let it slide if you take it off for comfort. That's. It going to fly so well for a AR pistol, and if you look some states do not accept a back pack as a holster. The whole carrying a loaded AR pistol argument hinges on how your states CCW laws are written towards concealed carry. |

I prefer the SBM4 braces. They are among the better looking of all the braces and are also one of the most comfortable to use. And they remain in the realm of being reasonably affordable.
I like the way the Shockwave Blade looks and I do appreciate the ability to adjust where it sits on the buffer tube with the set screw and dimples. But I don't find it to be particular comfortable to use, especially during those moments where it makes "incidental" contact (cough) with your shoulder. The way it is made causes it to actually feel like a "blade" and it can be quite uncomfortable to use for extended periods, particularly with heavier recoiling calibers than 5.56mm. The Blade would have been a real winner had the ATF not ruled that brace protector thingy someone developed for it illegal. |
