I have a Vltor A5 pistol buffer tube extension on a 300blk AR pistol with the law tactical folding adaptor and am looking at the different braces & from my understanding the Vltor tube is 1.18' diameter

What pistol braces work with this diameter tube & what would you recommend?

Tailhook MOD 1 on both.

Not wanting to be that guy, but the combination of the Vltor A5 pistol buffer tube extension with the law tactical folding adapter is likely going to push you past the verboten 13.5" length.

If my measurements are correct it's shorter than the max length, I could be wrong & will double check with a different tape measure to be sure.

I have SBM4 on one or two.  If I recall, I think I put a couple wraps of electrical tape in a couple spots on the tube to get the brace nice and tight.  Also use the Odin Works clamp thing to help hold it in place and keep it from rotating.

The original SB braces fit perfect on the A5 pistol tube

sig sbx for instance

I recently bought an SBA4 to go with the A5 pistol system. What am I missing that I can't get the SBA4 over the A5 extension tube?

Do you have the SBA4 or the SBM4? The A4 takes a regular CAR tube and goes on like a stock. The M4 is friction fit on a plain round tube. They can sometimes be very tight.
