Where on the website?

Found...whoa, way too expensive, especially for the ugly century style molding. Considering the SIG brace retails for $139, I simply do not see $140 worth of extra parts on this more complete piece.

I'm glad they made the effort though.

You must not be looking very hard. 100 bucks for the end plate adapter, 40 for a buffer tube, spacers and castle nut. Found your 140 bucks that fast.

The Sig brace does not include the buffer tube , the butt cap with the adjustable cheek weld & does not include the extensions or the ability to accept the side folder hinge .The other options on the market will run you $250 -$300 and still not have the features & flexibility we are offering . The brace may not be everybody's cup of tea but we are happy to offer it as an option to our pistol customers , we do appreciate your feedback & input it is all very helpful as we develop new products . We have shipped several of these out so we should start to see some customer feedback & reviews soon.

The two spacers can be removed for a short length of pull. As seen here and here.

Yes, I can physically "see" what is different between the SB15 and this model. I'm saying that shouldn't add $140 to the price, especially using the AR15 style mold. Just my opinion.

Now if it were HK styled(which I'm praying is being designed as we speak), then it would be worth it with full acknowledgement from me that I'm paying a premium for the luxury of not hassling with SBR.

Then try this, build one yourself for less. Trust me, I am doing it right now, it can't be done. While you might not see the "worth" in the parts, that's what they cost and that's what it will add to the cost.

Nice to see a folding brace adapter.

For that much stuff, 140 seems more than reasonable, it sounds like a bargain. Good luck recreating it for anywhere near that amount.

Another version will be available soon(using the SIG style). From what I've seen it looks much better. Of course the rubber part that wraps around your arm is the same as before, but the "extra" stuff we see on this model looks better on the other one, right down to the hinge.

Century needs to hire a better designer, or let him finish his design rather than taking his rough draft first sketch.

I have a Sig brace on my 556P and this doesn't look much different. I purchased a AA89K pistol a few months ago and have been having fun with it, this will just add to the fun factor. There was another forum where I saw these first and had to order one for my pistol. Now, I have not scoured the internet trying to build one of these a piece at a time but for a turn key solution that will come ready to got in a box its well worth it. I will post some picture of it mounted on my AA89K pistol once I get it this week!

So I got my brace and the install was easy. I like shooting it with both spacers installed but my wife who has shorter arms liked it better with one spacer installed. So it's safe to say that these will fit most people. Here are some quick pictures of it.
