Review: SB tactical TF1913 pistol stabilizing brace for Ak style pistols

[@kenmarchlenski4477]

NICELY done with all the Necessary information for a purchase elvaluation!

[@Conklikov]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Thinkingmansrocket]

Made mine controllable and shot placement 100% better. Now it's accurate!

[@Conklikov]

It’s amazing the government doesn’t want you to be more accurate. Seems more accurate shots would help prevent innocent bystanders from getting hit in certain situations

[@TommyJohn1]

I have one, and it’s extremely tough to unlock the brace from a folded or extended position. That’s the only bad thing

[@InvincibleStarV]

Same here.

[@Slow_300c]

If you push from directly under the pin it’s supper easy kinda weird but yea

[@Conklikov]

Ya it is a bit of a challenge but overall still decently built and looks nice

[@steveniemyer9288]

I just got one 2/2024 and it locks in both positions and the spring is very stout. I have a difficult time folding it and unfolding it. I’m not sure if this is a new design or if it has a breaking in period.

[@Conklikov]

It does loosen up a bit after shooting and folding it numerous times. But I kind of prefer it stout in some ways I know it won’t fold up on me while shooting

[@manuelsilvas8618]

Just ordered one got it today, how'd you get it opened at the 1:33 mark lol I can't get mine

[@Conklikov]

You mean open it when it’s folded new in box. I found it helped to use the edge of a table to apply force to it to lift it up to swing it.

[@robertwest4299]

I don’t get it. I see everyone just opening the stock from folded, but mine locks in place and I have to lift to get it open again.

[@Conklikov]

@@robertwest4299 not sure , mine worked just as is shown

[@austinredenius2724]

Oil and PULL on it

[@robertwest4299]

@@austinredenius2724 mine is newer. They changed the design and it does lock closed (which I’m not a fan of) so you have to lift and open the same as when you close it.

It was driving nuts to closed it🤣🤣 thanks man

[@Conklikov]

Glad it worked out!

[@Lifewithwu]

I’ll try to get me one of them I like the look it looks like more of a real krink now

[@Conklikov]

For sure, it really did follow the design cues as close as it could.

[@Lifewithwu]

@ yea Ima try to get one

[@AA-dn8dj]

What aluminum plate with the picatinny rail on the back of the receiver is that?

[@Conklikov]

Not one hundred percent sure , this was a factory Zastava option. I believe or at least at one time you could buy the rail on Zastava web store.

[@HKBuilderDIY]

I heard these broke easy like 2 years ago. Have they improved them, beefed up the plastic pieces with metal?

[@Conklikov]

I would assume so all the parts that move and lock are metal

[@Styermanlicherissus]

I just broke the top beam on mine

[@mobsyndicate1389]

Thanks for the review. Is there a way to flip the mounting bracket so the brace folds to the right instead of the left? Thanks

[@Conklikov]

So you can take a screw out and flip it but in the instructions and on the box they only mention left hand use. So I’m not sure if it would work correctly

[@mobsyndicate1389]

@@Conklikov thanks I found this right folding brace SBTEVO-G2

[@ghernandez6457]

I have a zpap with the same picatinny rail and even with loctite it starts to loosen up after two or three mags. Does that happen to yours too? Also does yours have a lock washer? Mine is pretty much the rail adapter, a bolt and a square nut that goes inside the receiver.

[@Conklikov]

Mine hasn’t moved at all to be honest. Mine doesn’t have a lock washer. What color loctite you using

[@ghernandez6457]

@Conklikov I've used red and hi temp for suppressors. Maybe I have to clean the threads and reapply the hi temp one.

[@thelastmiddleclass2490]

Use the stuff for muzzle devices, I think it's called Rockset

[@Steezy.gunz_]

How did u mount that pick rail ??

[@Conklikov]

The pic rail came from the factory that way. It’s just Allen screws but a large one and it’s loctited in as well so it’s sound

[@Cossack_Cobra]

Does it feel flimsy, nice, and solid? How does it feel while shooting?

[@Conklikov]

Feels fairly sturdy and solid not much wiggle and I would say pretty decent while shooting. Sure there could be a few things to improve but overall not bad

[@Cossack_Cobra]

@@Conklikov thanks!

[@PlanetDip]

will this brace fit on every 9mm AK pistol on the market?

[@Conklikov]

It Should so long as they got a picatinny rail

[@georgeaura]

What is the length of the brace?

[@Conklikov]

About 9.5 inches

[@georgeaura]

Any link to the pic rail?

[@Conklikov]

Pic rail was stock on the gun but I beleive you can get them through zastava

[@thestørmcrier2024]

Let’s be honest most folks don’t use that strap…even in video games, the brace is used for shouldering. However much it actually helps

[@Conklikov]

To be fair yes most do not, but the design is technically for use with a forearm

[@thestørmcrier2024]

@@Conklikov indeed. It’s a good thing like for my disabled vet friends, but the rest of us..hehe

Excellent 💯

a year later i still dont know if its legal

Ya it’s ridiculous That it’s still not a clear yes or no. And wether it’s a firm decision or not

I never know what these comments mean?

[@AlexandrKarmanov-uv5bp]

Plastic, pass.

[@Conklikov]

It’s not 100 percent plastic, the stuff that’s important is aluminum or steel. If plastic didn’t work well then magpul would be out of business by now.

[@ericfogle4965]

It’s hilarious how stupid people are when they just dismiss something polymers now are crazy strong

[@GUNPROXO]

Does the job why would you want anything else brings to much weight

[@gamehopper111]

So painful to fold and unfold

[@walkerm4904]

Literally the worst explanation how to fold it doesn’t even show what you press.

[@Conklikov]

There is nothing to press it’s a lifting action

[@Lance76239]

He told u exactly how to fold it… u lift up on it and it unlocks

[@rickjames9256]

CNC warrior Galil syle brace is way better. SB is just made cheap and even cost more money than CNC. I own both so I speak from my own experience

[@Conklikov]

Duly noted, I could be wrong but aren’t those relatively hard to get as in back ordered regularly?

[@rickjames9256]

@@Conklikov you are correct. CNC takes a lot longer to get it to you than SB. But upside to a wait is that their brace will literally last a lifetime. But that is just my opinion.
