Ok I will try them. I just want them to assemble the upper. The last one I assembled I had a bit of a hard time with it and ended up taking it to a gunsmith anyways

Cant go wrong with Mike. Hes assembled multiple uppers for me. Everything came out perfect

Looks awesome. How does it shoot? Thoughts on the 4 prong?

shoots great. 4 prong makes a "pingy" sound when shooting. heard that goes away after carbon build up on the flashhider  tho, i dont know. but yea, im real happy with this build. 100 percent reliable so far after only about less 500 round thru it. 

I want a 4 prong. I’m just not willing to cough up the dough a lot of cloners want for them. Cool looking build though!

thanks . yeah agreed. the 4 prong goes for way to much for what it is 

Yeah, cloning and retro gets pricey   try finding those 3 prong brakes modified for ban states requiring brakes!

this is an "other firearm build" so its not required to have a break. if you were looking for a 3 or 4 prong for a standard rifle i think we are outta luck. i havent seen any modified 3 or 4 prongs that are nj compliant. if any has please post a pic

Ive got a spare.  will drop in a pic shortly

for some reason I can't upload a pic?????

 

went to 'my attachments' and see I'm over the limit but not sure how to delete crap

Great builds here!  Can't wait

Finished this up the other week but forgot to post pics. I was hoping to get out to the range over the weekend and zero it in but didnt get a chance.

Without the a2, the OAL would have been 25 7/8. No bueno

I've been reading with this buffer tube it would make it over the 26" length with an 11.5" barrel. So no need to pin/weld muzzle device.  Anyone confirm?

A standard carbine buffer tube and 11.5” barrel (unpinned), is just shy of 26”. The A5 tube should be fine unpinned.

Correct. With an A5 receiver extension, you can use a 11.5” barrel and not pin&weld the muzzle device. 

Thank you, wanted clarification as I'm putting together my build parts list.

me too!

Okay another question which may have been covered but I can't seem to find it. The SBA4 brace comes with a receiver extension/tube...does this one make it over the 26" length without buying and using the A5 receiver extension?

No. Its just a standard 6 position tube- the same one comes with the SBA3 and is the one almost everyone uses on their rifle stocks.

Thank you, was almost 100% that was the answer. I can find the SBA3 without the tube but can't seem to find where to buy the SBA4 without it. I just like the look of the SBA4 better but don't want to spend extra for a tube I don't need.

Yea brand new is gonna be tough to find one without the tube. If you look on the EE at AR15.com, Im sure you could find one tho. 

Instead of beating your brains in over the final length, just buy an aero precision 12.5 upper----done

I may do that if it makes the overall build cheaper and at very similar lengths. I'm just beating my brain like you said to figure out what I wanna do lol

If you get a 10.5 and pin it with a surefire it becomes a 12.

I want to do a build without pinning. Even though doing that way would make it an inch and a half or so shorter. 

definitely starting a build soon.  I may camo the upper and lower first but the a5 extension is a must for 10.5 barrels.  Why pin/weld when you don't have to????

The A5 extension will work for a 10.5" with no pin and weld?

Thought it was for 11.5"..

Guys, this is supposed to be a picture thread. 

This diagram been posted in 3 or 4 threads, multiple times now, where people are trying to nail down the nitty gritty of each build. 10.5” barrel will require a pin and weld unless you find an extended tube over 8.25”.
