As I work to complete my next AR pistol I’m considering using a Sig SBX brace. Part of this is to be different as my last build I used the Shockwave blade stabilizer. Another reason is the recent ATF correspondence to SB Tactical who manufactures the Sig brace. The ATF clarified that shouldering the Sig Brace does not “redesign” the firearm resulting in a felony charge to the shooter. Legally this is a plus although there is a significant controversy if the ATF’s letter truly only relates to the Sig Brace.

AR pistol, Sig brace, Sig, SBX

On second thought I may stick with the KAK Shockwave. That Sig Brace is ugly. Hmmmm……

Maxine Watters is at it again“[Carson] knows nothing about the mission of HUD,” Waters said in a speech at the Essence Festival in New Orleans. “He doesn’t care about people in public housing. He believes that if you are poor, it is your own fault. And he doesn’t know the difference between an immigrant and a slave.”

    can’t stand the Sig armbraces, shot a cz scorpion carbine and pistol with shockwave blade over the weekend and boy was it fantastic. I could get behind a 9mms ppc in that configuration, ar 9mms just don’t do anything for me. Was there ever a winner picked on that weeks food giveaway?

    1. JR says:

      Sorry jh – yes a winner has been chosen and meant to mention it on my post. I’ll edit it and add the info. Thanks for the reminder.

    The BATF’s open letter and legal opinion indicates that the “clarification” encompasses all of SB Tactical’s braces. I suggest you look at the SBPDW- https://www.sb-tactical.com/product/sbpdw/

    It’s pricey but it’s pretty sweet, and you won’t have to look over your shoulder before putting it there….

    1. JR says:

      Oh yes – I have read the “clarification”. There is still a dispute as to whether someone shoulders a Shockwave versus a Sig brace if there will be any difference in the ability to prosecute – if such a thing were to actually occur.

      I like that PDW stock – just too rich for me.
