Misc Firearms Crew LXVIII: A Bridge Too Farley

[Ikeman83]

The SBM4 brace is what did it for me. The SIG brace was so damn ugly and uncomfortable. Plus we got the ATF to backtrack on the redesign horsesh!t.

How much like a stock does it feel, and can you adjust the "Length of Pull" on it?

Well what you probably can't tell from the pic is that it is somewhat flimsy rubber, and is split along the bottom (so you can insert your arm to strap in as designed). It slides onto the buffer tube so it isn't inherently adjustable but I used a KAK tube to set it back a couple of inches. You can also use a clamp like a bicycle seat clamp, but I don't know if that could constitute a redesign. There are also spacer inserts you can slide onto the tube. You can get it back a good bit before losing any stability. It's only held on with friction. Finally, there is no butt pad so it's a bit less comfortable there.

[Ikeman83]

I wonder if it would constitute redesign to put a piece of foam rubber in the void between the material where the strap is, and if that would have any effect on making it more shoulderable.

By the way, since I know that there are now more SR-25 pattern shooters ITT than there were a few years ago, Brownells has the mags they designed for the M110 regularly priced at $9.99. While a 20rd PMAG is only $19.99 in most places, it might be a good alternative for use as a range mag. http://www.brownells.com/magazines/r...prod71942.aspx

The reason why most pistol braces are hideous and not very effective as stocks is pretty obvious. If it works too well as something that can be shouldered the ATF is not going to give it the OK as a pistol brace.

Yeah . . . I probably wouldn't look to do that. I think anything to "reinforce" the "brace" is seen as an effort to make it more stock-like. Can't wrap it with paracord, tape, put anything in the gap where your arm is supposed to go, etc.

I can't fit a buttpad for a DPMS AR-10. Im worried if I buy online it wont fit,...

What kind of stock is it? If it's Magpul, they're all the same buttpad. If you have a commercial tube, which is likely on a DPMS AR10, it won't be able to collapse fully, by about 1/8-1/4", with a new buttpad. No big deal.

If the end of the tube is slanted, it's commercial. If it's flat it's mil-spec.


Edit I'm assuming you mean you can't find a buttpad, not you can't fit one.

DPMS uses AR15 tubes. Take a picture of the receivers and stock and let us know what you're looking for.

All of these braced "pistols" make me want to build one really bad.

SBm4 has been my favorite brace so far.

Much better than the original brace I have on my AK pistol.

The SBm4 is comfortable but will feel "cramped" for longer armed bros.

I experienced no movement after a few mags but I don't know how it will hold up in the long run.



My PSA was $409 shipped plus the brace. I had the DD iron left over from a take off.

I have the Shockwave Blade at home, but haven't installed it on anything yet. Still need to get the upper for my pistol. But after seeing the SBM4 now, kinda wishing I would have waited and gone that route.

I like my shockwave and for me, I don't see any compelling reason to switch

coupled with the KAK tube, it's basically a 6 position super duper thin stock

[DualRectifier]

That reminds me, I need to get rid of my SIG brace before I build another pistol around it. I meant to build this one for the SIG brace but said fuk it and got a second SBM4.

[rahfulz]

Did bone in ribeyes on the grill last night.

600 degree grill. 2 minutes on first side then turn. 2 minutes then flip. 1 minute then turn, leave for additional minute for 6 minutes total. Removed from grill at internal temp of 125 and let rest for 4 minutes.

Perfect medium rare

The "I have a detent, time to build a new rifle" effect is real.

Thoughts on the CZ 75 P-01 compact for CCW? Anyone use it as their many carry weapon? Currently carry a Glock 26, just wanting to add another pistol. Live in CA so a lot of options are off the table.

I had a chipotle chicken salad - not from chipotle, just a flavored dressing.

Guess I need to buy a shot timer to video next time. Probably lost a good .3 seconds on reload due to pulling from pants pocket since I don't have a mag carrier for this gun yet. Gun - bro in laws bone stock Shadow 2, Alex and Ryan OWB holster.

No need to enter me on spread sheet. Will video it next time with my personal S2 since I should have it back from CZ Custom in about a week.

If you like the light rail, P-01. Either trigger system. Omega has a nice SA. DA can only get so good. 75 series can get ridiculously good SA and DA both.

Too late - I already have the image in my head where, whenever you get excited in this thread, you just start slamming your hands onto your keys for a second or two and then hit enter.

All of my friends are too big of pussies (or maybe they're smart?) and won't go to the Trump rally today. I'm not even going to get involved with either side, just going to sit back and watch. Maybe talk shiit to Nazis if I see any, and make fun of the champagne socialist antifa ***gots too.
