Curious as to what pistol buffer tubes will work with the new Sig pistol brace. I would prefer to use a normal length buffer tube with a castel nut. The Phase5 tube looks to be .05" too big in diameter from the specs, but does anyone know if it'll work?

I have seen people squeeze the SB15 onto the 1.25 tube...but I dont suggest you do that as you are really stretching the properties of the rubber too much.  The friction fit will work best with tubes from 1.1 to 1.2.

Yeah, that's what I figured. So what other options use a castle nut?

Well...you have several options in terms of buffer tubes.  I like the way the tubes with the castle fit on the SB15 because the Brace is recessed for a castle nut.  If that doesn't matter to you then the buffer tubes with the knurled end work great too. I normally get that stuff from Exile Machine, but you can get them from whomever you think works best for you.  The PWS buffer tubes are my absolute favorite...but man do they come at a price!

The Phase 5 tube works fine.

I have the brace mounted on my palmetto pistol tube and its pretty tight.  I'd prefer a SLIGHTLY looser fit.  On the good side it doesn't move at all.  No castle nut though...

I'm pretty excited about it since I live in WA state and we can't have SBR's and I had a pistol I built in AZ with the intention of a tax stamp...

I'm using an A1 tube on mine which measures at 1.15 in diameter.  Tube is WAY to skinny. I ended up using some bicycle inner tube inside the brace to give it a nice snug fit. Without the extra rubber, the brace falls right off the tube.  Kind of strange seeing as Sig advertises that the SB15 will fit a 1.1 diameter tube. Once you get the thing to fit correctly, it's pretty awesome!

I have it on my phase5 tube. No problem fitting it if you read the instructions that suggest to put dry lube. I used baby powder and had no problem sliding it in.

Does anyone know if the Spike's pistol buffer tube will work with the Sig brace?
Link Posted: 8/11/2013 6:22:03 PM EDT
[#10]
You would have to ask them or someone what diameter buffer tube they have.  I was pretty sure they were using thicker buffertubes at 1.22 inches in diameter, but I cant seem to find the documents I had on all the various sizes that were out there....but again, I'm pretty sure that was the diameter.  Try shooting them an email just to be sure.

How is everyone using this tube. It is too big to fit. You have the stretch the shit out of it to fit.

And?

Put the buffer tube end on the table and PUSH on the sig brace from the top so you are leaning your weight on it. Goes right on with some cornstarch.

I used the spike pistol buffer.  It was pretty tight fit but went on with baby powder.  I'm pretty sure it wouldn't come back off if I tried.

Ive got the PWS, yeah it was pricey! Beautifully engineered, and i like its looks better than the castle nut, its two tiny and one large set screw method of tightening the plate seem really secure and precise. I will also say, i was uncertain which buffer and spring to use, id heard carbine from some folks, and a specific pistol buffer assy from others, so i emailed PWS.........I told them i had a 10.3" upper, and was planning on firing mostly 55 grain .223, and i got a reply back from PWS within in hour, and they suggested carbine std, with an upgrade to a heavy buffer if i were to start shooting 62 grain and heavier, or 5.56 spec rather than 223..........VERY IMPRESSED with PWS quick, professional customer service!

How about only half way on? I just put it on but only half way because my arm is long. Is that secure enough that it wont back itself on with recoil? have not shot it yet.

Just personal preference...felt more comfortable for me extended a little when shouldered... it does mount flush though. I have another lower with a Phase5 and it sits flush against the lower receiver and castle nut...but I recently pulled the brace out a bit on that one also...

Yep. Just as it's not illegal to shoot a long gun from the hip.

There are no laws regarding the method you use to shoot a firearm, only the configuration of them. Stand on your head, put it against your ass, fire it with your goober,  whatever.

Never been a ruling to my knowledge, only stocks are mentioned in overall length in any docs/letters/rulings that I've ever seen.

I hear so many mixed responses on this. Some people post pics of their pistol builds with VFGs and say if its over 26" its good. I have also read some ATF letters from vendors with pistols over 26". However I am not sure if that only includes their gun and not built guns.

It's any gun. But I'm sure you won't take my word, you seem to be from Missouri originally. :)

Here's one, but not the only source, read second page of letter starting:  "Can I legally construct a firearm similar to the Franklin Armory"...

The Brace is considered an accessory and is not considered in the OAL of the weapon very much the same way a removable flash hider is not not considered in the overall length.

Find any ATF documentation stating that anything but a stock counts toward OAL on the rear end of firearm past the necessary operating parts. That was my point.

You can count the retracted stock if it is permanently pinned to the open position.  Since the SIG brace is removable (not easily mind you), I would NOT consider it as part of the OAL.  I would only use muzzle (not flash hider unless pinned) to end of buffer tube.

That is my personal opinion...

ATF measures overall length with stock in longest extended position period, whether retractable or folding, pinning is not a factor. Some states do not, however, such as Michigan, and of course some states you cannot have an adjustable stock at all.

Nothing except a stock on one end and muzzle device on the other is mentioned as contributing to legal OAL in any ATF documentation that I've ever seen.

Quoted:


ATF measures overall length with stock in longest extended position period, whether retractable or folding, pinning is not a factor. Some states do not, however, such as Michigan, and of course some states you cannot have an adjustable stock at all.

Nothing except a stock on one end and muzzle device on the other is mentioned as contributing to legal OAL in any ATF documentation that I've ever seen.

The Brace is considered an accessory and is not considered in the OAL of the weapon very much the same way a removable flash hider is not not considered in the overall length.



Shit I was told differently at a shop near me that specialized in NFA items. May have to check on that.


Find any ATF documentation stating that anything but a stock counts toward OAL on the rear end of firearm past the necessary operating parts. That was my point.

You can count the retracted stock if it is permanently pinned to the open position. ...

I thought the overall length was measured from the shortest possible extension of the stock?
