It'll be fun! I have a SBRed Charger that I use in steel challenge and it's extremely fast because it has little mass wayyy out there. But at my age today, while I might have been able to use it effectively even 20 years ago for offhand shooting, that lack of mass meant disaster if I had tried to use it for Appleseed. It's a very specialized firearm. But from a supported position it's fine for fine work. Mine is definitely minute of squirrel head out to 50 yards.

I wish I could see your face when you first start shooting it! They really are a blast!

 

Where did you order the brace/ folding stock from? I just got a standard Charger that I would like to put a folding stock or brace on. Does it mount to that picatinny mount on the back? Going with a red dot of some sort also.

 

I'm going to catch a little crap for this but I don't care.
I bought through Amazon because I could easily return if not satisfied. I defy anyone to show me the difference between this in AirSoft and a regular firearm. The folding mechanism is very heavy duty and the stock is solid aluminum.
I haven't received the Charger yet so I may change my review upon installation.
BTW...You can save a little by shopping around but don't know about the others return policies.

Perhaps you do not, but the ATF might. It appears to me too that the item you linked is a stock, not a brace. What’s the fine and jail time for possession of an unregistered SBR again?


Bottom line, understand the law before making a questionable change to a firearm.

What I was referring to was the AirSoft parts. I'll guarantee the quality is the same.
One marketed as AirSoft is half the price as one that is not.

No such animal as a brace/stock, sorry but it is either a stock or a brace. lots of braces available but do cost more. JMO but NEVER post or say out loud your INTENT to do something illegal. Do it legal and enjoy. Again this is just my opinion and we know what they say about those. Enjoy your charger.

 

I should have taken a picture of the box the stock/brace came in as it said stock/brace right on the box. Then again, when it's made in another country they can put whatever they want on the box. I absolutely agree with your statement though.
Would that have been acceptable to the powers that be, taking the box for "proof" wherever I go? I don't know.
Years ago when I bought a ShockWave Tech pistol brace it came with a letter of acceptance from ATF that in fact it was a "pistol" brace. Not this time though.

 

We shoot our Chargers without a brace using an AR height red dot, cheek weld and overhand grip. Works really well. Wife's favorite gun.

 

So the Charger I have has the pic rail on the back, it's new and that's the way it came. I do not want to break any laws and I'm not familiar with SBR rules. The tax stamp is that the same which allows you to buy and use a suppressor? If I go that route will the one stamp allow both folding stock and suppressor? What about full auto, is that something totally different? Is there a folding arm brace that would be legal at this time? JTJ what is a cheek weld? TYIA

 

Yes, that Pic Rail is there for an arm brace, waiting for someone to legally SBR it, or just do nothing with it; by itself it's OK. It's what CAN be bolted on it that can get folks in trouble here in the USA.

One stamp for 2 items? No. You'd need one stamp for the can and another for the SBR. $400 in 2 tax stamps. One to allow the SBR to be built by you by putting a stock on it. Another tax stamp to transfer the suppressor to you. But an arm brace is currently OK with no tax stamp. But a brace and a stock while looking similar are different. The manufacturers and retailers should use the correct terms in their text keeping you out of trouble. And yes airsoft is fine for .22 rimfire and will save you $. Just make sure it's not a stock and don't think it's mil spec and ready for the Ukraine. I used an airsoft folding buffer tube for years on a Charger that I used in steel challenge and the only reason I no longer do is because as a SBR I can put anything on it and I just changed it out to better stock. No fault of the air soft part. To use it in competition I had to SBR it since an arm braced handgun is against the rules. But as a short barreled RIFLE, a rifle is legal. Same firearm, the difference is one is a handgun that won't fit in the box and the other is a rifle with totally different competition rules.

Just go onine and do a 'net search for "folding arm brace". I'd be surprised if you don't get a days worth of hits to open up. When I bought mine I did that and price shopped for the one I wanted. You'll find the "same" models at times, one made of aluminum for big bux, and the "same" model made of plastic*. The plastic is fine and generally much less expensive.

*I don't mean 3D printed.

Cheek weld... Again the 'net is your friend. Go to youtube and type in "cheeking handgun" in it's search function.

If you don't know how to do any of that get back to me.

 

I believe the legal term in “constructive intent”.

Not a lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express 2.5 years ago🤣

Yes, that's the term.

We shoot our Chargers without a brace using an AR height red dot, cheek weld and overhand grip. Works really well. Wife's favorite gun.

I've been doing that in steel challenge competition for a few years now. It works great. A very stable way to shoot.

Finally got the Charger to the indoor range. Man is this thing fun!
I've always had a tough time spending a lot of money on accessories on a cheap firearm. This thing may change my mind.
A binary trigger is a lot of money for what seems like the newness will evaporate pretty quick.
Anyone have experience owning one for an extended period of time? Is it still fun?

Pretty sure a binary trigger has a "normal" setting and it's a better than stock trigger. Don't want to use the binary function just don't. But it's still there for kicks. I can see the attraction that a binary has.

 

Over 35 years ago I owned a Class III AR-15, back when .223 ammo was much cheaper. It was fun for a few mags, but after that it kinda lost its appeal, for me at least. But I had limited places to shoot back then, nothing like the steel targets and "tactical drill ranges" popular now. The experience might be different today.

(I didn't count the time I had one on loan from Uncle Sam. Different kind of "fun".)
