SBA3 Pistol Brace - Unbox & Install

[@kellycole6822]

thank you, no long winded tutorial, straight to the point

[@travismcneil272]

You sir are so un American. Why would u cut the air bag packaging. Everyone knows u pop them. Lol. Good video.

[@GobblerK5_2WR080]

Or tape them onto someones vehicle tire so that when then start driving the bags pop and startle the driver/passengers!

[@limppx3290]

Everyone slices the airbags on sight!

[@jbsoul4575]

Had he popped them, anyone in the house would of thought he had gone nuts and was shooting up the basement. I wonder how he knew that. How do I know that?

[@SirEpifire]

I'm prepping to throw one of these on my new PAK9. Nobody was explaining the fastener design but this perfectly answered my questions!

[@BradKaboord]

Happy to find your video. You delivered exactly what I wanted. No long winded BS before and after. I'll be here for a while enjoying your videos.

[@donjuan2766]

A brief hands-on demonstration, now this is what youtubes all about

[@jadagreen23]

Thanks, Straight to the point, no comedic commentary needed!!!! Need more videos like this

[@ricardotovar6821]

Where could I get one for my AR pistol s&w ?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Optics planet, primary arms usually have these.

[@micromushroom40]

Can you just take the brace off the tube and put it on the mil spec buffer tube instead of switching the tube out? Just curious.

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Yes. Its just a standard buffer.

[@techi9]

Can't I use the same 5pt buffer tube already on my pistol?

[@chollyeva]

what stock did you take off in the beginning (1:41)?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Shockwave blade. Didn’t like it.

[@aaaaa1957]

Thanks, I’m going to use your video to install one today. Simple, easy to follow. Thanks again.

[@OMACMedicFiveZero]

Black and white. Classy

[@craigcreationz]

Hi Andrew, can you please let me know what Vice Block Magazine you are using?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Magpul

[@aaronshoyt]

I have a quick question can I use the same Spring or do I need to short Spring?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Same standard carbine buffer and spring

[@bustabass9025]

Noticed you didn't stake the castle nut or apply any Loctite. Any thoughts on why?

[@Arcantos95]

Brownells has a Smyth Busters video on it

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Not 100% necessary. Just depends if you want to be able to remove it easily or not.

[@truckerninja.]

Where can I get tools to break down all my guns?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Midway, brownells

[@johnnewman8673]

You make me nervous handling that knife so fast 😂

[@FlankerJackChannel]

Is the brace permanently attached to the buffer tube or is it removable so I can put it on my existing buffer tube?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

it removes just like a standard stock.

[@FlankerJackChannel]

@@CarbonPrecisionLLC thanks!

[@tristianjared853]

If the pistol brace is not straight, would you just need to loosen the castle nut and then adjust the pistol brace with hand ?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

If it isnt straight, your buffer tube is probably off center.

[@mia1shooter]

i Just installed me brace just now, thank you so much for this video, i would have had to pay someone $25 to do it for me.

[@bannor216]

i love having a gunsmith. it's comfy. fair wages for fair work

Death to the bubble packing...what did it ever do to you

[@fnhscar1727]

Outstanding video brother! I’m sold

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Thanks! Sb makes an excellent product.

[@pt6134]

random question - noticed your vice isn't bolted to your work bench, did you build a quick jig out of wood that you can just mount with wood clamps?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

yes. that is what i typically do. I have built a new bench and actually bolted it down.

[@chidoriaffect9200]

What tool is that you used to take it off?

[@adambacon29]

Armorers wrench for the castle nut I believe.

[@rayw6442]

Good video! Thanks for posting.

[@rdlsar15]

For some reason I couldn’t handle the black and white. Made me feel old.

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

We wouldn’t want that! Sometimes it’s fun to mess with the colors.

[@79dogface]

Can you just use the existing mil spec adjustable buffer tube or do you have to get one specific for the brace ?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

The buffer tube that was on the pistol was a proprietary tube from the shockwave blade. The provided buffer tube is a standard mil-spec tube so you can use anyone you want. Legally, you can't turn a rifle lower into a pistol, so placing a pistol brace and sub 16" barrel on an existing rifle is a no go!

[@jarnold420ja]

Check out primary weapons ratcheting castle nut!

[@tommypicchi9601]

Great video, I am finishing my pistol build install with the SBA3 tomorrow. So here's the most debated question/topic, do you stake the castle nut, I noticed you didn't. My AR isn't staked and was custom built by a very good gunsmith and I have had zero issues. Just curious, I will be adding the Law Tactical folder soon and so I am not going to stake, just torque it per spec's which I believe are 40 foot pounds, Thanks.

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

I didn’t stake mine because I switch stuff out all the time. If you put some witness marks on it with a paint marker, you can monitor it backing out.

[@tommypicchi9601]

@@CarbonPrecisionLLC Thanks, I was just reading that somewhere, I really like that and I am going to be adding the Law Tactical in a few weeks anyways. Much appreciated.

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Law makes some quality kit.

[@jeremy2255]

If you shoot it supressed you will need to they will back off on you.

[@christopherwatson7050]

do you absolutely need that tool or can use something else

[@terryedmond4492]

I don't see the gain, but if you added that to a Ruger 10/22 Charger pistol, you made a HUGE difference!

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

It would make quite the difference! If you are referring to the brace itself, is adjustable instead of fixed, which allows me to stow it in a smaller case then extend it to shoot. An adjustable length of pull on the brace also allows different users to get comfortable without pulling out a hex key to adjust it. Thanks for the comment!

[@RJ.Ev.G]

Can a different carbine tube be used, or does the brace have to stay with the provided tube? Strike industries makes a really nice tube I’m interested in.

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Any standard mil-spec tube is compatible. The SI tube may be proprietary and have a different dimension to fit with their Viper Stocks/braces. I would suggest using the one provided and spending that money elsewhere on the build (Trigger, optic, BCG).

[@abnr1983]

I'm still fairly new to assembling AR-15s. Is that a mil-spec buffer spring or do I need a different one if I'm going to run a 10.5" or lower length barrel? I'm a little confused because the SBA3 uses a mil-spec buffer tube.

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

It is a standard carbine buffer spring with a standard carbine buffer. This combo has been working well with the mil-spec buffer tube, but if there are any issues changing buffer weights or try different springs. Flat wire or a captured spring system have produced good results too.

[@jakenutt4687]

Being that this is collapsible does it not make the pistol an sbr?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

No. The definition of a stock vs a brace does not include collapsibility.

[@kalashnikovmania2074]

With this brace fully extended on a 10.5 upper will it reach 26 inches OAL or over making you able to install a forward grip?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

That is an excellent question and I believe it has to be a fixed OAL of 26" or more to mount a vertical grip. Currently, I'm using hand stops on all of my pistols and rifles.

[@Corelogik73]

The 26" needs to be from muzzle to the end of the buffer tube to qualify for a vfg. The stock/brace is NOT included in that measurement. Neither is the muzzle device, unless it is pinned and welded.

[@50shadesofcerakote]

whats that handguard ya got on there? i have the same one but im looking for a 15", save time changing out the barrel nut and all that.

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

GunTec USA nothing too interesting but it was a good price!

[@50shadesofcerakote]

hey, thank you. i eventually did find it out of the blue last night, just googled"cheap mlok handguards" and eventually it popped up haha.

[@philhtx4103]

Does the sba3 come with its own buffer tube? And Is there anything i need to purchase separately if I wanted to put this on my AR pistol?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

It comes with a standard Milspec buffer tube. you will need to buy a carbine buffer and a carbine buffer spring.

[@philhtx4103]

Carbon Precision LLC thanks allot man!

[@Aaron3684]

Do you have to use a vice?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

No you don’t, just makes it easier to do.

[@BM205]

Does the brace come off the buffer tube ?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Yes it does! Pull on the pin far enough and it pulls right off.

[@BM205]

@@CarbonPrecisionLLC Thanks man I've had this brace for awhile and tried several times but I'm a doofus and was pulling down on the front of the adjuster instead of the rear

[@abelgonzalez2368]

Is that a standard buffer tube?

[@TheDeleon03]

How's that PSA BCG treating you? Which model is it?

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

I have had some issues with feeding and I would highly recommend something with a bit more quality. Aero or Brownell's BCG would a better selection.

[@TheDeleon03]

@@CarbonPrecisionLLC thanks for the response. I've had my heart set on an Aero to get my pistol up and running, then switch to a high dollar triarc bcg later on. But the PSA caught my eye (price) and I wanted a first hand review.

Try telling that to the vet with only one arm. The original ATF ruling was moronic. The fact we need a tax stamp for silencers are also ridiculous.

[@chancecarlton8403]

I can't get my arm in it.

[@ShellShock794]

I'll probably use it once just for the novelty and then never again

[@The10thManRules]

For $130, it should come with a stripped $30 Anderson lower and a complete buffer assembly, not just the tube.

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Things should always be cheaper! You would need to take up pricing with SB Tactical.

[@The10thManRules]

@@CarbonPrecisionLLC Meh, still cheaper than a $200 SBR lower stamp. Silver linings.

[@CarbonPrecisionLLC]

Great way to look at it too! Also, you don't have to tell the government every time you leave the state.

[@The10thManRules]

@@CarbonPrecisionLLC Exactly.

[@ShellShock794]

I got mine from PSA and it came with a mil-spec trigger and a grip all for $149. I'm sure both parts I will replace sometime in the future but definitely makes the high price more reasonable

9-1/2 inches from the rear of the receiver to the longest part of the brace. A MagPul MOE stock reads just a tick under 11 inches fully extended.

So does the ATF finally say this is a "legal stock" for 80% pistol firearms with no registration?

I'm no lawyer but its a brace, not a stock.
