Since this thread is getting such traffic let me ask here: Does anyone know what the piece of hardware would be called- a screw that fits the set screw area of a shockwave, but with an internal spring loaded plunger/detent inside of it. Male screw female internal plunger. To make the length less permanent and less stock-like 
Ball Nose Spring Plunger

A few different ones should work, so it depends which you like the look of. Main thing is it needs to be imperial not metric, and the thread pattern is the 5/16x18 choice (from what I've read). I can pull my set screw and measure it for OAL but I don't have a mic so it'll be rough.

Eta: I can't find a ruler. But you're going to want over 1", because with the set screw engaged it's head it is about 1/4" below the edge of the hole in the stock.

I am going to start writing the ATF everyday and tell all my friends to do the same until all braces are banned.

No I am not stop writing stupid fucking letters, and if you are comfortable with using a brace build a rifle or an SBR, but for God's sake stop writing fucking letters to the ATF on clarification on whether or not you can use your brace to masterbate with.

This SB collapsible brace has same length of pull as a normal collapsible mpx stock.

This Thordsen cheek rest has a better cheek weld than most stocks imo.

So what if I put a brace on my pistol that was a rifle that I've loaded with armor-piercing bullets and shoulder it, but only on alternate Thursdays during periods when the planet Jupiter is exhibiting retrograde motion?

I don't know where SOME of you guys come up with this crap. I have a couple of SBRs. It has zero to do with exclusivity or being in some club.

I keep hearing these types of comments, but I have yet to see SBR owners suggest that braces shouldn't be available to everyone. I agree SBRs can be a pain in the ass. I remember when the prototype brace thread launched here on ARFCOM. I think it's a brilliant idea and some of the new variants are much better looking than the original. It's also cool to see them on other firearms besides just ARs. I don't think one would have worked too well for my PS90 though.

Upon further review it appears that provider may not have hardware with long enough bodies in the 5/16x18 size.

And I doubt you will...in a public forum.  What benefit is there expressing that opinion and outing oneself as a hypocritical, elitist tool when the alternative is to just use mental gymnastics to say the brace changes reliability or makes the AR less effective.

Don't thank him for bad information.  I like my AR stock 2 clicks out from full in.  My sig brace and KAK tube equipped pistol is 1/4" longer than an AR with a MOE stock set at that position. LOP is perfect for me but for guys who like different LOP there are ways to adjust.  And Since MOEs seem to be pretty popular and I have one right here lets take some other measurements.  

Height of shoulder contact area at butt pad from top to bottom: sig brace is approximately 6-1/2", MOE is approximately 5-1/2".  So there is more contact area with the brace.

Width of shoulder contact area at butt pad:  sig brace is approx 2-1/2" at widest part, MOE is approx 1-5/8" at widest part.  Again, more contact area with the brace.

Cheek weld area:  sig brace is approx 6-3/8" long by 2" deep, MOE is approx 6-7/8" by 1-1/2" deep.  Depth is the more important dimension with cheek weld and the brace has more contact area here as well.

If someone doesn't like braces or thinks they're ugly ( because that matters) then fine.  However, you don't just get to make up bullshit.

ETA:  People that make the ergonomic argument have never shouldered a brace.

The only legitimate issue you raise is adjustability.  However, something tells me that you're no where near high speed enough to require immediate adjustability.

The ergonomics argument is fucking laughable at best.  I posted actual dimensions detailing how there is more contact area and stability with a brace over one of the most popular stocks on the market and you reply "muh ergonomics."  What a clown.

And you've already shown to me that you're not as smart as you think you're being in regards to this all. The fact that you're throwing away length of pull is all I need to know that you don't know what you're talking about.

And your counter to dismiss ergonomics is even more laughable. Ergonomics is everything. Your brace isn't more stable nor is it adjustable. It's sub standard equipment to use as a loophole. The very fact that you are even denying that tells me that we're done because you have willingly thrown out reason over your hurt feels.

Yes, you sure are a clown. A clueless one at that.

Length of pull, better cheek weld, more stable, better ergonomics, etc.

So yes.
Thanks. Most folks I see advocating for SBR instead of brace seem to blame it on looks alone. Without having shouldered a pistol brace I can't really say, but what you're saying makes sense. Although the Shockwave Brace looks like it would offer pretty much all of that minus a rubber butt pad.
Don't thank him for bad information.  I like my AR stock 2 clicks out from full in.  My sig brace and KAK tube equipped pistol is 1/4" longer than an AR with a MOE stock set at that position. LOP is perfect for me but for guys who like different LOP there are ways to adjust.  And Since MOEs seem to be pretty popular and I have one right here lets take some other measurements.  

Height of shoulder contact area at butt pad from top to bottom: sig brace is approximately 6-1/2", MOE is approximately 5-1/2".  So there is more contact area with the brace.

Width of shoulder contact area at butt pad:  sig brace is approx 2-1/2" at widest part, MOE is approx 1-5/8" at widest part.  Again, more contact area with the brace.

Cheek weld area:  sig brace is approx 6-3/8" long by 2" deep, MOE is approx 6-7/8" by 1-1/2" deep.  Depth is the more important dimension with cheek weld and the brace has more contact area here as well.

If someone doesn't like braces or thinks they're ugly ( because that matters) then fine.  However, you don't just get to make up bullshit.

ETA:  People that make the ergonomic argument have never shouldered a brace.
My information wasn't bad, yours sure is horrible though.
Well, I'm waiting for you to refute it.
Length of pull on the fly to suit the clothes I am wearing weather dependent. Can't do that with a brace.

Cheek weld, can't get a proper cheek weld for the length of pull I desire.

Ergonomics is an actual thing, and I have tried a brace, the Sig and the Shockwave. They suck. They both made me appreciate a real stock even more.

Your BS argument is BS.

So again, my information wasn't bad, but yours sure is.

And your hate has gotten me to fill out another Form 1 and write another check. Your welcome.
The only legitimate issue you raise is adjustability.  However, something tells me that you're no where near high speed enough to require immediate adjustability.

The ergonomics argument is fucking laughable at best.  I posted actual dimensions detailing how there is more contact area and stability with a brace over one of the most popular stocks on the market and you reply "muh ergonomics."  What a clown.

So does this mean every company that makes ARs will no longer stamp their receivers as a rifle and that someone else will make a "brace" that's just a regular stock with a Velcro strap on it and this entire moronic thing will nullify the need for an SBR tax stamp?

This! ^^^^

Lets see how many people I can piss off here!

This It's not the tax, it's the wait. If the ATF came out tomorrow said said you know what guys, the tax has been $200.00 dollars since 1934 and we have never raised it but the operational costs have gone up, more and more apps are coming in and we can't keep up without raising the cost to say $300~500.00 dollars per stamp BUT if we do this we can get the waits down to like 30~45 days (how ever long it takes to process the back ground check), I would be like OK! I would GLADLY pay a couple hundred more dollars to "speed up" the process.

Hell keep the tax at $200.00 but add a $200~300.00 "optional expedited filing fee" for those to want to get it quicker, I'll pay it.
View Quote
Hell no thats the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard suggested. We shouldn't be paying them shit in the first place, and fuck their operating costs seeing as how they shouldn't exist entirely. Not to mention that the ATF can't raise the tax, it would have to be done by legislation.

Gear Head Works is saying something similar on social media.  For sure verbal confirmation on the phone isn't the same as having it in writing, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.  

And apparently that the ATF may be working on clarifying their clarification on their clarification.  This shit is making my head hurt.
