For use and durability = Bonesteel Brace
For Looks that resemble a Krink Side folder = SB Triangle brace If you are trying to replicate a specific style of krink - a triangle is good. If you are wanting the best quality and durability, I'd say Bonesteel. It resembles a Galil stock layout. |

The bone steel model and the CNC warrior brace sure look very similar. How does the bone steel model attach?
The SB Tact triangle one got a lot of negative reviews for being cheap. |

I have the Bonesteel and it is stout and TIGHT, I haven't installed it yet but damn, just holding it and folding it to check the lock mechanism, it's quite impressive. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The bone steel model and the CNC warrior brace sure look very similar. How does the bone steel model attach? The SB Tact triangle one got a lot of negative reviews for being cheap. CNCWarrior and Bonesteel seem to have an arrangement for marketing - they are the same brace. Depending on the model of AK you have, you can order a specific model of the brace: 1) Plain version that requires drilling and tapping a hole for a square back receiver to brace. 2) A Yugo version that has a slight angle to mate the slanted Yugo backside 3) A 1913 version. I used a 1913 version and a JMAC customs 1913 rail adapter for AKs. This required me to drill and tap an 8mm hole on the back of my Polish AK. screw on the 1913 adapter and then the Bonesteel brace can be used. I like this as I can remove it and use on other 1913 rail-backed guns if I want to swap. The Triangle brace is okay - its not as durable as a stock but as a plinker that looks the part it does well enough. If you do the math, some of the braces are not too much cheaper than a $200 tax stamp (but then add price for real stock) but you can have a real durable stock - However SBRs aren't as easy to sell when you might want or need to. |

Cnc warrior still makes the hinges for us, but we now use a forged braceplate, with a steeper tube angle. Both braces use the same rock solid hinge, but from the pivot back there are minor differences. You cant go wrong either way. Bonesteel arms brace  Cnc warrior brace  Attached File |

If so Thank you for great products! Does the Bonesteel Brace back section fit on a Galil hinge assembly and if so do you sell it seperately for those of us that want to Build Galil Pistols? |

Quick question; what is the length of the Nato length Bonesteel folder? I'm thinking of SBR'ing a Zpap but MD laws are 'tarded and SBRs have to be 29" or longer. |

I have a PSA AK pistol that has the triangle folding brace. It attaches via a picatinny rail section attached to the back of the receiver. It's a decent brace but hard use it definitely is not.
I'd like to upgrade to the Bonesteel, but looking at their options, it indicates that the picatinny version is not for AK's. Anyone know if any of their braces are compatible with my setup? @obiwanbonjovi |

Quote HistoryI forgot about that triangle blade/brace. WHo makes it again? I seem to recall they were expensive a few years back, but maybe the price has adjusted Is it metal/steel? It is truly a sweet look that looks the part better than the 1913 plastic. |

It is truly a sweet look that looks the part better than the 1913 plastic. Very expensive to make and are not being made anymore since the cost of material went up. Machined out of 7075 aluminum. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @obiwanbonjovi I saw that too and ignored it as I was adding a 1913 rail to the back of my AK and it was square back not angled like a Yugo. That is the one I ordered and there are several aftermarket 1913 adapters for AKs, but depends on which AK you have due to receiver and rear trunnion shape. |

I was wondering how does the Bonesteel or CNC Warrior brace mount to a ZPAP M85 with the hole drilled in the rear. Do you remove the plug and mount it with the one bolt?

Our 1913 brace will work just fine on aks, we have that note, because for almost every ak model we offer what we consider to be a better solution. Personally not a huge fan of picatinny interface for stocks, and usually we have a model that attaches directly where the rail mounts. Removing the bulk and weight of an extra interface. |
