plastic ones are junk. Yes I’ve tried them.

 

The delrin adapter I bought from FarrowTech seems really well built....not "plastic". I bought the kit for $100 which includes buffer tube, shockwave pistol brace, and adapter. Very solid and guaranteed.
sapoutfitters doesn't seem to have the buffer tube adapter...1913 pic only.

 

I purchased the Copper Custom adapter. They are the original. Excellent quality.

 

I built my Charger SBR years ago when CC was the only option. I never thought it lacked anything, never looked to change it out and I don't expect to ever need anything else. I believe in "If it's not broken don't fix it.".

I have the Copper Custom and Farrow Tech adapters. Both are functional and fit well. The CC has a more refined shape, but was 2x the price.

 

I got one from ebay. I didn't know any difference. If it breaks, I'll get a aluminum one. Haha

 

I’m not butt stroking anyone…I doubt I’ll ever need to replace my polymer version.👍

 

I needed the extra 50 bucks for ammo. How would you tear up a polymer one anyway?

 

Butt stroking someone, or dropping into the prone position and doing as the military teaches, hand on the buttstock to cushion the fall. That might torque it as well as destroy the arm brace. Don't do that with it.

 

That would do it. Closest that would apply to me is if I tripped and fell on it.

 

How many times have you ever dropped your gun?My count- zero

LOL. That’s like asking a new car owner how many times they’ve been in an accident. Zero…until it happens. Obviously the poster was never a boy scout. 😉

But at $15 per, I can drop my Charger 4 times, and still be ahead of the game.

Not to mention, my luck says the stock would be fine....it will be the scope that gets broken.😫

 

Not my point. My point is: past performance does not guaranty future results, and being prepared is a virtue. Financial considerations had nothing to do with it, and of course if you’re in the field you’d be without a braced pistol if the more fragile part broke. But good on you for going with the cheaper option.

I'm going to disagree with your position that financial considerations have nothing to do with it.

I mean, for some people it may not matter, and for some uses, it may be that buying the "best" or at least the "better" option is desirable. That's OK, but that isn't a valid reason to dump on the opinion of others, or make statements that infer that those that choose a more frugal option are somehow "cheap" as if it's a character flaw.

Look....it's a .22 PISTOL, in the end. If the brace literally breaks off....it's still a fully functional pistol. And....it's a .22...not sure what I'm doing in the field where the loss of the brace would result in a problem that would make me upset that I had only spent 25% of what I could have spent. I mean, in an "emergency" I can LITERALLY tie a stick to the stock, and have a functional brace. 😅

Even if it DOES make the gun completely unusable..it's not like I'm conducting ops in a warzone.....I just walk back to the truck, and go home. Not a big deal.

And I'm still wondering what you are doing that will break the thing, but that won't break the scope, or the gun itself.

 

I'm not going to go back to check in the thread, but I think someone wrote about one made out of delrin. That would be better than 3D printed. Delrin is some pretty tough plastic. As good as aluminum? IDK. But it's tough stuff.

Farrowtech makes the delrin version and I seem to remember seeing it for $60.

When I was looking I saw the printed ones (I assume they were printed) They were cheap enough. But I pretty much always use the "Do it once, do it right.", philosophy. More so if I care about what I'm building. Not that it should affect anyones mind, but I bought the Copper Custom version. There may be others today but back then the choices were 3D printed or the CC one. If I had to do it over I might buy the delrin version and save the $40 more that the CC cost me. I have no idea what they cost today. Heck, for years I used parts used in gun gaming (I don't remember the name) made of zinc and they worked fine. I bought 2 in case one broke and the first one never did break.

 

I used a 3D printed adapter on a charger I had a couple of years ago. It did not last too long before it was cracking apart. I’d go with aluminum.

 

Why bother. We shoot ours with a cheek weld and an overhand foregrip. AR height red dot.

 

Because pistol braces are far more accurate, guaranteed.

 

Another option, albeit more expensive, is a PMACA chassis that has the threading built in. I did that with a folding adapter. Makes it a nice little package.
