Anyone make one yet that uses the retractable stock struts?  Been waiting to buy a PTR-9CT but won't until someone makes a dang brace for them...

Tommy built has a part to make a collapsible stock work with a tailhook, but that is a diy project. AFAIK there isn’t anything slap on ready out there.

I think he'll assemble it for you but its expensive. You need an a3 stock to cut up, the adapter, and the tailhook.

Safety Harbor sells one for the K guns complete if I'm not mistaken.

Personally I'd sbr the gun instead of going with that expensive tail hook if its an option as it would be cheaper.

I’m moving shortly or I would now. Was just curious if any reasonable options existed before I bought the gun. I want to pick up an Omega 9k before I buy the gun anyways.

I'd run the side folding brace then until you move and then form 1 it if that is the case.

One of my friends used the side folding brace on his zenith k gun until his stamp came back and liked it. I just didn't shoot my sp5k or zenith full sized until the stamps came back and then got real stocks. My hk 94's were sbr'd by tsc machine when they converted them so they sat until form 4's came back.

Safety harbor has a k and said after shot the full size will be available.

I have q safety harbor set up for my K. It’s awesome. All benififs of a reverse stretch without the need of proprietary parts.

Hmm.  I like the idea but I wish it looked closer to HK OEM.

SBR it then. I’ve done both. But I’d rather not cut up a perfectly good A3 stock when a well made alternative is available.

Also the safety harbor has a qd socket on each side.

Just my opinion

I went ahead and built my own. It wasn't to difficult. Gunbroker will be your friend I watched it like a hawk for months (also ebay).

Here is a quick vid I made about it last year I think.

Whats the length of pull? I was interested in dropping the cash to make one until the super secret ATF ruling of 13.5" max LoP came to light.

The info came to light in a trial. Luckily, the guy was found not guilty at least.

Just made me think about those ar pistols with a side folding law tactical. Wonder if that puts them over the 13.5”secret length

Gives the original non-folding SB Tactical MP5 brace a run for its money in the 'ugly as hell' department.

Yea I've never been a fan of plastic end caps especially with all the newly made ones. They really need to make an exact copy of an HK steel end cap and start with that. The more they can them look original the better. I don't like all the modern shit with air scoops, fins, ribs etc. PTR loves that shit though.

I saw that too.  That thing looks like a monstrosity and is ugly as fuck.  The B&T GHM9 brace adapter with tailhook style would look awesome IMO on an MP5K.  Kinda resembles the Tech Smith one mentioned in this thread.

The guys that make the tailhook have supposedly had a factory collapsing brace in the works for years now.  I have my doubts that we'll ever see it though.

Yeah, or it's a very close copy.  Whether it's made by the tailhook guys I don't know.  I'm hoping that if PSA makes them in house that they'll sell it separately as well.

I'm very happy with mine.............it's nice and sturdy, and they stand behind their work. If I ever get a K, I am going to get one of the collapsible braces they make for it. Sure, it's pricey, but to me it's worth it
