Oh, wow! I already got a phase 5 tactical but may swap it out for one of those.

The KAK buffer tube and adjusting collars will allow you to lengthen the SIG arm brace to 3 different positions.

Thanks AF, I wonder what the new version will look like?

Flipz · Jul 15, 2014

Phase 5 just came out with their own buffer tube specifically for the SB15.

Sweet, got one on the way!

I'm just using a PSA tube. It was cheap. 50 bones for the tube, buffer, spring, and ambi end plate.

KAK has a pistol tube kit (no brace shoulder) for $35 and the Sig tube alone for $42. $6 shipping. Odd thing is $42 for the tube alone and I think I remember seeing blemish lowers for $49.

So if you own one of these, either:

1) You want the look of an SBR without having to file SBR paperwork, or
2) You thought you could actually use the SB15 as a stock, as a way of getting around SBR paperwork, or
3) You want to pretend you are this:

You might want to read the ATF decision on firing from the shoulder. This is how most able bodied people are using the Sig Brace even though it is contrary to what Sig designed it for.

I still don't think you get how the Sig Brace is utilized. You do understand how it was designed. Hint: The ATF ruled it was not a shoulder stock no matter how people used it.

ETA: What Mdeng said!

Later.

I know exactly how it's utilized...to give a 5.56 pistol that cool "SBR" look without actually putting a stock on it and filling out the NFA paperwork.

I see exactly how it's being used from the pictures in the link above. The only way to line your target up with the irons on the pistol (or even keep most optics in eye-line) using that thing is to hold it how the people in the picture are holding it...at arms-length. The weight of a P516 pistol plus a fully-loaded 30rd mag is about 6.5 pounds, with much of the weight distributed forward of the hand (barrel, magazine, etc), giving it even more leverage on the elbow and shoulder, even with the wrist braced.

How long can you hold that thing at arms-length and still be able to shoot accurately?

Like I said, the only way to accurately aim that thing is with a laser, so you can hold it in a position that is less inherently strenuous on the arm.

So if you own one of these, either:

1) You want the look of an SBR without having to file SBR paperwork, or
2) You thought you could actually use the SB15 as a stock, as a way of getting around SBR paperwork, or
3) You want to pretend you are this:

You can use it as a stock. Where have you been for the last couple of months ?

Good to know, I was wondering about this.

I keep a copy of that letter along with a copy of the letter the Sig brace came with folded up inside the grip of my 300blk pistol.

Folks who had Akins Accelerators had that letter in their stock and look where that got them...jus' sayin...

There's a pretty big difference between the two. And I don't see how having documentation with you could be a bad thing.

Trbo6gn · Jul 16, 2014

I said screw it and ordered one. I'm in no rush to get it so i figured why not. I have a feeling that the KaK buffer tubes are going to be out of stock for a little while anyway.

Mr. Ferret,

Thank you for posting this. I indeed "got" mine. I would like to thank you for being a thoughtful and helpful member of the Maryland shooters family.

DC-W · Jul 16, 2014

I better start selling kidneys. So much cool stuff to buy and no monies to do it with, lol.

Welcome back AF

I should say the range bag throw-in makes this a smoking deal. If I was building a pistol I would get the Sig brace before the BATF does a gutless reversal.

Hadn't seen the collars before but I have one of the KAK pistol tubes and heated up a piece of kydex and formed it around to accomplish the same thing. Also tried para-cord wrap which worked for a while but eventually bunched up a bit (doesn't take much) and interfered with the charge handle.

We're all friends here. It's the least I can do for my comrades.
