I'm am currently building an ar pistol with an 11.5 inch barrel. I am wanting the OAL over 26 inches while still having a LOP that fits ATF standards. My thoughts is that I can get a vltor a5 tube and sba3 brace, that will get me over 26 OAL. Thoughts? does anyone have a build similar?

That SBA3 brace will get your gun labeled an SBR once the new reg's drop, if you care about that stuff.  I have a 10.5 and had to put a 9" pistol buffer tube on it to make length so I think the A5 will get you there with an 11.5, but an adjustable brace won't get you past page one of the worksheet so LOP will be moot.

Well yes per the regulations, but on the sheet with the point system it has prerequisites listed. The prerequisites state between 12-26 inches. I do think my “AR pistol” would be over that length.

That doesn't mean that you can put a brace on your 26+ short barreled "other"
