Schuyler is a great vendor. I'm have bought from them on many occasions. Great customer service, very quick to reply to any questions and ships fast.
This should be in the deals section. |

Do these Blades fit on a KAK Super Tube? It seems it would, but would like some confirmation.

You don't need a new tube, mine works fine on a KAK style shouldered tube for a sit brace. There is a gap, but the brace is sturdy

Just checked back into this thread, will post pics when I get home from work
Gap behind shoulder, OAL is shorter than SIG brace 
Gap around tube, diameter is greater than sig. Brace does not wobble, however |

I'd buy a Shockwave but only if I could remove plastic without greatly weakening it to accomodate a standard mil spec sized carbine receiver extension. If even possible to do without it falling apart, it looks like it'd be way too thin to hold up to any use before breaking.
Oh well, maybe the next person with a new 'pistol brace' design will be on that fits on a standard tube. |

Mine just arrived today and it's very high quality. The plastic reminds me of pelican case material that has the swirls as if it's mixed with a strengthening fiber compound. |

I don't use pistol tubes at all, so not an option for me if it'stoo weak with that much plastic removed. Not a ding on the product at all, I just can't adapt it to meet my needs. |

I received my Blade from Schuyler yesterday. It is well made and very strong. It fits the current tube and the set screw holds firmly, but I am going to hold my opinion until I get my Kak tube tomorrow.
Schuyler shipped it in 2 days and I received it 5 days. It was shipped in a soft padded envelope. Schuyler gets a +1, but I would like to have seen better shipping packaging. |

I think I understand your question and can help; I have a couple of these...the inner diameter where your buffer tube goes is actually a lot larger than a carbine or rifle tube by quite a bit. To get a tight fit on my carbine tube, I wrapped industrial strength Velcro strips onto the tube, then crammed the Blade onto it. If you're thinking it is too long for a carbine tube and was wondering if you could shorten it, you could do that as well- would want to use a hacksaw blade for that. |

Sure, technically I'd need approval, but technically we ALL need approval. An ATF letter only applies to the personit was wrote to. I'm not changing the design/use at all, so as far as I care, I'm good to go. No way is the inside diameter so big it will fit a carbine tube.... but no, I don't want to shorten it. No point without a shorter buffer tube. |

Seems like the Shockwave you have might be tapered from front to back or the tube is to have the fit shown in the picture. |

Thanks for the link. I ordered one for my MPAP and just received it today. I like the shockwave a little better than the Sig brace so I'm replacing the one on my AK like I did a few months ago one the AR.

I received the shockwave blade Saturday and the kak tube today. The two together is money. This is a great combo and easily worth the $57 I spent.
Both are well made, fit tight and are a solid construct. |
