Caution on buying a used SB15 brace

[twitchyfinger]

For those of you buying the Kak industries buffer tube for your pistol builds do not buy an arm brace that has already been installed on a standard pistol buffer tube. They will be stretched out and just spin on the Kak tube. Save yourself the money and time and get a new brace. I learned of this by running across this on youtube:

Wow, the KAK must be significantly smaller diameter than the Phase 5 Hex 2. There's no way those could ever spin freely on them.

Boiling the brace will shrink the rubber back to original.

Thanks for the tip! Think I'm going to try that on one of mine.

Just in case someone thinks I'm full o poop, the guys at jerking the trigger agree with me.

Hey I believed you and appreciated the tip! I even Googled boiling the brace (wasn't sure how long to boil it for) and found the same article you posted above. Also sent a link to the guy who made that vid too!

Worse comes to worse, maybe you could use golf re-gripping tape and grip solvent to keep in place?

Yeah the idea of grip lock came to my mind. Harley grips come with a tube for installing and securing grips. Kind of like a vulcanized rubber cement.

So, did you try to boil it yet?

Nope not yet still missing some ingredients like garlic, onion, etc. No seriously the brace I have is not at where I'm at right now nor do I have the Kak tube yet either.
