The Reformation is classified as a "Firearm" so he had a VFG and Magpul stock on it too. And of coarse a binary trigger..

Got it now, I mean right now.
Thrown in onto one of my pistols - I think it looks great. What I was hoping for in fact. But it feels even better; sturdy ASF, no wobbly at ALL, and I mean, at all. Just awesome all around. Will quickly commence with some comparisons - pictorials so that you brothers can see

Different build and look,
SBA4 by SoloDallas, on Flickr and again among others 
SBA4 by SoloDallas, on Flickr 
SBA4 by SoloDallas, on Flickr This will conclude today's brief pictorial excursus on the just received and awesome SBA4. PS the materials are substantially different, between the SBA4 and the SBM4, if you were curious; even the 'rubber' section on the SBA4 is harder than the SBM4 rubber. It's different material altogether. You have, in the upper section of the brace - that you would cheek-weld - a very sturdy, hard plastic - like a stock. And the theoretically more flexible part is however and unexpectedly (and very pleasantly!) sturdier than rubber. It is rubber; it must be. It's just reformulated, harder rubber. Harder to flex - more appropriate for its scope here. |

At least we got both now! Can you say if the 'wings' are more or less rigid than the ones on the SBA3? I've switched over mostly to Tailhook mod2 for the increased rigidity but this one looks like it might be worth a try just for variety. |

WAY more rigid; it was what I was trying to represent up there: at first it seemed that those wings were hard plastic in fact; then I had to come back to my own observations and conclude that it is rubber, but mixed with something else. It's truly hard and stiff - stiffer than SBA3's rubber lower section Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SoloDallas:

I ordered another one hence (2 in total) of these SBA4's; they're that good. The sturdiness will impress you as well; won't wobble on the buffer and all that (quite the contrary, you'll have to push and pull in order to make it transition to different positions). Mind you it's on the same level of the SBA3; I consider it an upgrade mostly looks wise as function wise it's likely identical. But the way the implementation was done - considering what it is - was the best possibile implementation for such sort of thing. |

I just ordred a couple of the SBA4's. The shipping rates appear to be flat rate, so it's the same whether you order 1 or 5. I've ordered from these guys before. Standard drop-shipper. No issues.

I'm in the middle of a Grendel pistol and already have the Tailhook for it, but I'm due for at least one most pistol brace to give my new 22 a dedicated lower and this looks like the ticket.

So for all intents and purposes of measuring LOP depending on this or that (and you know what)...

I am replying again to your picture here because I keep on looking at how the KAK blade seems to fit better with the older look of a clone-ish, older AR's. I have a SBA3 installed here but I am debating re-installing the KAK on this pistol lower. The only thing that throws me is that with the KaK you have to screw and unscrew that setscrew in order to set the LOP. What matters to me the most though, at least with my clone (ish) guns is the looks. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4843/46015766182_f432e57e02_b.jpg Colt 733 Clone by SoloDallas, on Flickr ETA changed few things around but truth is, you can't polish a turd and an AR15 pistol ain't an SBR. I conclude that specifically with SBR classics (vintage looking short barreled AR15s such as Commandos and 10.3") the stock can make a huge difference in looks. And looks, with these, are all that matters. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4810/46066241681_2c46faf75e_b.jpg 733 Pistol turd closed by SoloDallas, on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4873/46066242551_9827d5f910_b.jpg 733 Pistol turd open by SoloDallas, on Flickr with an sba4, this classic iron sight carry handle look intrigues me any idea how to RIBZ this length? how did you zero? is the z the near and? |
