I ordered one a couple weeks ago. I haven't even opened the box yet.
I have a spare lower sitting around, but I wanted something different and ordered a new one.

My girlfriend is always complaining that my AR’s are too heavy so for $260 I picked her up one of these lil blasters and threw the lower together. She likes the blade and it’s one of the lightest braces so it works out. Had a K2 grip, moe handguard, and a Matech rear sight laying around so it ended up being a neat lil gun



But more importantly at $250 I picked up 2 7.5” 300 blackout uppers


And one of these

So I had to get another one of these


Remembered it was time for one of these

HOW LOUD IS THE 10.5" BARREL?
View Quote
Here is your answer.

Let me throw in my two cents worth based on my measuring experience. There is some good info in this thread and a little speculation. When we did our5.56 study a number of years ago cutting a 24" barrel an inch at a time down to 5 inches and measuring bore pressure at the moment of uncorking along with velocity, we also measured sound level at the reference location. The barrel was modified by welding up the operating gas port (to prevent cycling), and M855 military ammo was used. The bore pressure was an exponential curve increasing as barrel shortened from around 4800 psi at 24 inches to around 17,000 psi at 7 inches (25,000 psi at 5"). Velocity from 24 to 7" dropped from 2964 to 2204 fps and sound increased from 162.5 to 164.8 dB (A-weighting at the reference location) on that day. Allowing the gas to cycle the weapon generally will result in several dB increased sound, depending on the gas system (pistons are worse than DI).

To imply that a 16" barreled weapon will be comparable to a 7" with a can would imply that the can only does 1.5 dB or so, which is a pretty piss-poor waste of a tax stamp. In reality, the worst micro-556 can I have measured (9.5 dB reduction) would be an improvement over even a 24" barrel.

Short barrels are associated with higher pressures. Those of you who know me know that I an opposed to using 5.56 in barrels under 14.5 inches for a wide variety of reasons, including bullet stability, terminal ballistics, and range. I believe the purpose of a firearm is to kill or destroy something, not to just look cool. If maneuverability and a short barrel is the goal, there are better cartridges that can be adapted to the AR platform that were designed for short barrels (9mm, .300BLK, etc.). Rifle cartridges get their terminal effects from velocity, pistol cartridges from mass.

I use one of these on a PSA 14.5 midlength upper, and I really like it. It's a great option for a low-frills upper. I had a small issue with using a stock Streamlight Rail Mount 1 on it, the thumbscrew sticks out a little far and rubs on the mount, but that's been the only hiccup.

It's fixed in place with a set screw - although you could replace the current screw with a thumbscrew to allow quick adjustment.

Yes. Loosen the set screw and move the brace back, the buffer tube has a bunch of dimples for the set screw to index on. Max LOP is 13 and 1/4". I keep mine set to about 12.5", this about equal to the third position out on a 6 position buffer tube...

You can get, an easily adjustable set screw for the blade on Ebay and other places, or, just use an Allen wrench...
