For anyone interested, I pulled the SB47 brace off my Draco AK pistol and it fits right on my Charger Takedown pistol. The tapered rear fits right in the buffer tube part of the brace. The forks on the brace fit around the trigger assembly with no mods. The angled AR grip was forcing my hand up against the brace but a more vertical grip is a great fit. I used a BCM gunfighter grip and cut about 1/8" off the top (the depth of the brace that fits between the grip and the stock) so the grip fits the same as before. It's a solid fit and requires no mod of the Charger or the brace. I did notice the bottom forward edge of the brace was brushing against my trigger finger so I rounded the bottom edge with a grinder for a more comfortable fit. Will still work fine if I put it back on my Draco.

Would love to see pics

Pics please! I have been thinking of some sort of brace or cheek weld device for the Charger.

I am interested in these as well. Not much talk about them. Seems like an excellent small game getter, and back yard plinker and kid trainer.

Not exactly the same,  but here's mine:






Changes since pics are a short Mini KAK flash can and changed the sight and mount to a primary arms with a QD american defense mount.

One of my favorite guns to shoot. So much that I am building a second slightly different rendition, but that may take a while for funds. I do have a stripped charger receiver on the way to my dealer.

ok Need a parts list on that one.
Stock.
Buffer tube adapter.
buffer tube.

Also what things work and what things are a fail.

Hey HK_DUDE, would you be willing to share info on the stock and folding stock attachment in the pictures you posted. A super looking Charger for sure. Exactly what I and several others here would like to put together. I will give you full credit for it...hahaha. Seriously, a very sweet survival gun...excellent job.

Any more news on the folding brace attachment?

Add me to the list of those who would like to see a parts breakdown.

Why the KAK mini can?

edited a lot - adding parts and adjusting links

I bought a Charger two weeks ago from grabagun, $209 + 7.95 shipping.

yeah i rounded off on both the 200 and 300, within about 10 bucks, shipping and CC prices.. sure to make a difference

Ruger charger with sba3 brace

That is very cool. That would be a great little plinker or emergency hunting gun.

Do they make chargers with iron sights?
