Get water near boiling hot. Immerse the stock until it becomes pliable. Shape to be a tight fit on the buffer tube. It will hold the shape and not wobble after it cools down.
Got mine today. Very nice! I heard they were breaking early on? I heard the pin that locks into the buffer tube was plastic and breaking. Looks like mine is metal. I hope its fixed!
Hi Christian, I've only shot the SBA5 once on a friend of mine's. I really like it, it feels much more stable vs the SBA3. It's heavier and some people won't like those.
It’s a good upgrade in my opinion. I didn’t notice it being much heavier. I do wish they’d come up with a friction lock mechanism to minimize the rattle, but it’s a small gripe.
hows the flex compared to the sba3? the wings on my sba3 are too soft and wont grip my arm tightly and bends when i store it brace down. is there significantly less flex on the sba5 to warrant an upgrade?
I’d say the flex is about the same. The rubber to me doesn’t feel any more or less playable than the SBA3. No reason in my opinion to replace the SBA3 with these unless you have to have the look. I needed another brace for a project, that’s the only reason I picked this one up.

That’s a great idea, thanks!

Nice! Mine has been solid.

Thanks! Good info. I would have liked to see you put it on one of your already built AR’s and test it
I actually have a fresh build that uses it. So far I’m liking it.
I like them both but I still think I like the SBA3 better. I hope you have a great week Brother.
Thanks brother!
Aesthetically I like the 5 better, but the real test would be how it feels when in use
Yea time will tell. I think it’s a good re fresh. Quality is the same.
That looks solid.
So far so good.
Zero wobble on my VLTOR A5 RE system. 👍
Nice! Thanks for the info.
I got one and best out of all the previous
They did good with this design. Still love my SBA3 though!

What's the length of pull like? Is it any longer than the Sba3 or just about the same?
It's the same.
foldable and abjustable
Yes sir
