Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TGE: Nice paint job, I like that. Curious about the 350, haven't seen many of those. What made you put that one together? My dad had built a 350 last year and took a nice buck with it, dropped in his tracks. I've been wanting a shorter, lighter AR to hunt with than my 18" 6.8 and didn't think that the 6.8 would perform well enough out of a 7.5" barrel. So after I watched a video of a guy doing a velocity test on the 350 by cutting off an inch of barrel at a time, I decided a 13" would be a good trade off. All totaled with the Burris optic it comes in a 6.7lbs. Hope to test it out this fall on the whitetail, unless I can get a hog hunt in before then. |

That's a nice weight, and I'm sure it will do just fine on hogs. I've been shooting them with 5.56, then an 8.5" 300blk,and now lately out of a 12" 6.5G. Always fun to try a new round out. |

I was able to check out my recently jailed Resonator R2 at my dealers range the other day. Damn I wanted to bring that can home so badly already. Sadly it had to stay put. Dying to get back out there and play with this setup some more.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Amped: Stupid question, how are you going to pitch that stock as a brace? Just want to know what’s required for a stock to be considered a brace This is not a stock, a stock is designed with the intention to rest the weapon on the shoulder. I designed and manufactured this brace. This brace/stabilizer/blade, whatever you want to call it, was designed with a flat vertical surface to aid the shooter in supporting the weapon such as other devices on the market like the shockwave blade . It features a lever to move the brace to the desired position also similar to what the shockwave blade 2.0 offers. The rear does not have a flat surface such as stocks normally do which provide a large surface area for contact on the body. In comparison, the rear surface area is also similar to the shockwave. |

No. This brace is designed and made around existing technologies that have been approved for use with braces/blades/stabilizers .
1. It is designed and intended to support the forearm of an operator with the flat vertical surface. 2. It features a mechanism that allows for adjustments. 3. Utilizes a carbine buffer tube which has also been approved for use on pistols. 4. The surface area of the rear is no different than the shockwave. 5. Length of pull is less than 13.5" Yes, I understand that ATF states that opinion letters only apply to that specific item in for review, but here is a response someone else received from SB regarding why the SBA3 & SBA4 don't have a letter: Thank you for your interest in SB Tactical. We do not have a letter specific to the SBA3/SBA4 because the ATF requires submission for new technology. In 2004, they approved use of a carbine receiver extension on pistols. In 2012, they approved our bifurcated flap with a strap as a Pistol Stabilizing Brace. And in 2015, they approved adjustability for SB Tactical Pistol Stabilizing Braces. The SBA3/SBA4 is a combination of 3 previously approved technologies. All three letters are attached for reference. |

Not unlike saying, because SilencerCO has an ATF letter for their suppressors, I don't need one because mine is simular technology.. My $00.000002 |

There's a fine line between stocks and braces and just because you or I might "think" it's a brace, doesn't make it so. If people keep stretching the envelope of the law, don't be surprised when there's a backlash from the Feds. |

I don't want to loosen up over time. Did you have to modify the handguard much to get it to fit? I got the one at MASDefense.com They have a blow out on Yankee Hill stuff and I just grabbed it because it was relatively cheap. When open, it does lock up, but does have some play in it. I don't know if this is it being a little loose or by design. It is under spring tension, so if you bump it and it moves slightly toward closing, it does spring back into place. I've been using it a good bit and it's solid. No point of impact shifts. It doesn't move side to side at all. Just front to back, and like I said, it springs back into place. While you're there you might want to take a peak at the Ballistic Advantage barrels. I got mine for like $125. BTW, I made a few changes. This is what that pistol looks like now...Newly renovated |

How much can it hurt to just submit your design and get a ruling in writing? If the ATF says yes, imagine what a selling point that would be????? You would then be sitting pretty with an approval letter for your design, opening the door to different versions under the design umbrella. Be sure to protect your design legally too, you don't want others copying it. |
