ar pistol, folding stock adapter

[Chunky_lover]

There is an adapter out there to make any ar 15 style rifle buffer tube fold
You can not fire the weapon when folded, well you shouldnt fire when folded there is no way to prevent it from firing
which could cause alot of problems if you did fire it but lets not get into that


Now from doing measurements I can see even folded without a extension on the barrel it wont meet the 30 inch length
and I dont want to add an extension, ive had problems with them on folding ak's not cycling properly

So I was thinking we all have seen the arm braces on ar pistols
im wondering if this folding adapter could work with the arm brace on a pistol

as far as I can remember there is no length requirements on pistols
just not sure about folding "braces" since its not really a stock right


what do you all think



here is a video of the folding buffer tube adapter

Don't see why it wouldn't work on a pistol, with the caveat that given a short pistol barrel, you might have to adjust buffer weight to compensate for the additional weight of the bolt carrier extension. There is no statutory minimum OAL requirement for an AR pistol that I'm aware of other than those regarding SSE.

I'm sure that you're probably aware of the arguments regarding the legality of arm braces on AR pistols in CA. If not, you might want to read up on it.

oh im sure there are discussions on the legality of the brace
but from the looks of it, its legal right now
and I would assume so as long as you use it correctly

but I have not read anything on it, just seen videos of the brace
and it looks very iffy to me, especially when people on the videos clearly call it a stock
