I am looking for a brace that works on an A5. What options are there?

Any of the SBA3/4/5 will work on the A5.

Sweet. Thanks bro. Looking at the SBA5 now.
I also found a couple of Magpul ones that work on mil spec tubes…is the A5 the same size at mil spec?

Yes. The A5 tubes have the same diameter, they are just longer.

Just about any brace that works on a normal buffer tube will work on an A5. The only difference is that the A5 is longer, meaning that it won’t collapse down as far.
