blue109 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Posted March 3, 2015 http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/12/foghorn/atf-rules-on-shockwave-blade-ar-pistol-brace-but-adds-a-warning/ did they miss the boat? seems like sales have leveled off on the sig brace now that lots of folks are skittish about all the rulings. doesn't look any more comfortable than a sig brace for it's intended use. doesn't look any more comfortable for it's unintended use either. up side is it looks a ton lighter and only costs $50. ATFs letter specifying no shouldering allowed is amusing.
jtallen83 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 " provided the Blade AR Pistol Stabilizer is used as originally designed and NOT used as a shoulder stock." I wonder if this means firing from the shoulder is a felony or if just the act of placing against the shoulder is the felony?????? IF I were to use one I would simply hold the "brace" 1/4 inch from my shoulder, let the arresting officer prove in court that it was touching my shoulder............. On another note I wonder if striking someone with this brace would make it an SBR???? It could be called a buttstroke..............
blue109 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Posted March 4, 2015 honestly thinking about it. just cuz.
EasyEJL Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 At least the sig brace seems to have real value if used as designed, where this flappy rubber fin doesn't seem to without mods
blue109 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Posted March 4, 2015 thing looks pretty useless as designed....but lets be honest here...
EasyEJL Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 I need to find someome dumping a sig brace out of fear cheap :D
FaRKle! Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 I need to find someome dumping a sig brace out of fear cheap :DIf I end up swapping my Sig Brace for an SBX brace I'll let you know lol.
EasyEJL Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 good deal ;) I've seen a few on ebay go for $100 with a buffer tube, which isn't too bad at all since I don't have any pistol tubes either :D
blue109 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Posted March 4, 2015 damage industries has nice pistol tubes pretty cheap.
ChaseFan9 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 I don't even have an AR pistol and y'all got me wanting to get one, just cause
blue109 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Posted April 2, 2015 think I'm going to sell mine to fund some other stuff. it's alot of fun, but more of a toy than anything else. doesn't really do anything my 14.5 can't do.
Robocop1051 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 That's because you haven't put a LAW folding stock on yours yet... and carry it as a truck gun.
blue109 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Posted April 2, 2015 funny you mention that....I just pulled it out to take pics to list it for sale on backpage. soon as I held it I lost my willpower lol. first thought was...this really needs a law adaptor. so one of you guys needs to spring for a gen3 so you can give me a good deal on your old crusty gen2
Robocop1051 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 so one of you guys needs to spring for a gen3 so you can give me a good deal on your old crusty gen2 That's very tempting
FaRKle! Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 That's very temptingHey now, I thought I had dibs! lol
ironmonster Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 I bought a Shockwave, it showed in the mail today. Honestly I think its a fine hunk of plastic. $55 shipped beats the heck out of $129 for a SIG brace and its lighter. I'll report back once its on the pistol and has some range time.

Honestly I think its a fine hunk of plastic. $55 shipped beats the heck out of $129 for a SIG brace and its lighter. I'll report back once its on the pistol and has some range time.It's definitely easier to use as a brace than the SB15. I can't figure out how you're supposed to put an arm strap around it though without it being really weird...
blue109 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) what's the total length? what diameter tube are you using and does it have any wiggle at all? Edited April 3, 2015 by blue109
FaRKle! Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 what's the total length? what diameter tube are you using and does it have any wiggle at all?Length doesn't really matter with the shockwave because you can install it at any position on the pistol receiver extension. It has a screw on the bottom that pushes on the pistol receiver extension similar to how a low profile gas block's set screws work.
blue109 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Posted April 3, 2015 yea...but I think they look goofy backed off the lower. my sig brace is tucked right up on the castle nut and the extension is flush with the rear of the brace. if the Shockwave is any shorter than the sig, I won't be able to snug it up.
