I have decided to add another project to my mile long list of unfinished projects and project ideas. I would like to make a pistol brace by redesigning a standard M4 style stock in to a stabilizing brace.
There are two main modifications I will perform in the redesign. First up is to grind out two smoothly radiused half circles on each side of the butt end to provide a cradle for the shooters forearm to nest in. Secondly I will add a strap similiar to the one in the photo at bottom of this post. This strap will be used to keep shooters forearm nestled in to cradle.
Any other thoughts on modifications that would make this brace more comfortable to shoot when strapped to the shooters forearm, are welcome.
I'll post pictures of my progress in this thread. My plan is to only use this on a 16"+ barreled upper until I am reasonably confident it will pass as a stabilizing brace with the ATF.
