I want to put a folding arm brace on my Trench 12 firearm. Any suggestions for the best AR15 accessory sources?

@LuckySG had a nice LAW side-folder kit at the Rickreall gun show a couple weeks ago, I think he carries them in stock.

A shotgun will get a much less expensive option, no need to manage that buffer tube. What @HB of CJ needs is something like this ADV TECH SIDE FOLDING 6-POS SHOTGUN for sale -- will need to verify it works on the Winchester, but someone will have what you need under $100 with shipping.

My Trench 12 has the 12" barrel and a straight hand brace using what looks like an AR15 castle nut and end washer on a very short section of what looks like a standard AR15 receiver extension tube. I do not need the AR buffer or spring. Just a folding arm brace based on what I have. Any ideas?

Also a better fore end or fore grip with rails on the top and bottom. I am not sure what length I need. Again a 12 inch barrel.

Luckysg. Thank you. Site bookmarked.

But if it's an "Other Firearm," it's limited to a brace only, not a stock.

Correct. I believe however a folding arm brace is OK. Not a butt stock.

Right, and what Lucky linked looked to be pretty clearly a true stock. Of course, not having an end view or a Determination Letter, I can't really be sure...

Did I miss that point? There goes my bargain basement savings idea!

 

[LuckySG]

What about a HERA Arms Side Folding Unit? Works for Scorpions and Kris Vectors!

The rub is what class he's going for... "OF" like Shockwave and TAC14, or "SBS".

Also, if you don't mind tubes but don't need a BCG tunnel, Matador Arms out of Canada has their Sidewinder sidefolder...

I have seen some straight hand braces that look very much like butt stocks. Until you see the butt and the brace itself. The impression right now is that I can legally run a folding ARM BRACE but not a folding BUTT STOCK. I think. Somebody correct me if I am wrong. Atlantic Firearms "Trench 12". Classified by the BATFE as a "firearm".

@HB of CJ My understanding's the same as yours, that this is the same as the Mossberg Shockwave, Remington TAC14 and 26"+-OAL AR pistols.

How do you like the Trench 12? I actually know the two guys who built them from when I lived in Indiana, but the Trench was still in the prototype phases when I moved. I have one of their AKs and they are excellent.

For those that don't know what the OP is talking about.


And thanks to the SBA3 they are even making them with even shorter barrels now.

OP

Hera arms side folding unit is likely your best option. It would just go in between the existing buffer tube and the rear extension.

Reno911 Thank You! Thank you all!

I HAVE NOT SHOT IT YET! My bad. Too busy. Too hot. Too dry. Too smokey. But .... I have hand racked and dry fired 10 3" snap caps through all four, (4) of the 10 rd steel Ceespec, (sp?) AK47 12 gauge box mags. Mags fit perfectly.

Lots of lube.

Getting quite smooth. Where can I find a different fore end with a rail? Also a mount for a forward under-the-fore-end hand safety strap. I have a feeling I am going to need it. 10.5 pounds. Perhaps 3" mag 42 pellet #1 buckshot loads.

Reno911, thank you again. I love this forum!

Give Jeremy at Advanced Weapon Systems a call. They're the guys who made it so they can probably help you figure out compatible aftermarket stuff.

Not a problem dude.

Saigas are the ultimate zombie gun. These inexpensive clones have me missing mine and wanting another.

Does Larry Correia know about this thing? It just BEGS to be turned into a "Son of Abomination"...
