Hello.

I know this will not be an SBR, but I wanted to talk to the folks in the know.  I'm building a 12.5 and I'm going to use a Sig brace instead of a stock, for numerous reasons.   I have read and heard that it is ill advised to modify the brace in any way.  What I want to do is paint it to match the rest of the rifle (oops, pistol).  I have found a color that is very close, but before I paint it, I want to be sure this would not count as a kind of modification that could get me in trouble.   I know they sell an FDE version, but that comes out of their box FDE.   Just want to cover the bases here.

Thanks
Randy

Painting isn't modifying.

I'll be very surprised if you can get any kind of paint to stick to that.

I know you explained why you don't want to simply buy the FDE version, but I'm not understanding your point.
Can you elaborate on that?

The paint is made for flexible rubber.  It should stick OK.    What point do you want explained?

painting the brace will not turn it into a stock...don't worry.

I was reading too much meaning into your statement about not wanting to buy their FDE version.
Are you wanting to paint your black one just to save a little money since you already own it? That, I would understand.

A little off topic but has anyone figured out a way to mount a sling to the brace?  I use the same QD mounted sling on all of my rifles and would like to use it on this one as well.

I'd rather have something that mounts the sling on the side of the plate like this Troy QD Endplate but I don't want to buy from Troy.
Hopefully somebody can point me to something similar from a different mfg.
