SB Tactical has been increasing the content that can be found on their YouTube channel. One of the new videos is entitled Applications and Advantages of the Pistol Stabilizing Brace and it is a very good summation of the advantages of SB Tactical’s line of braces but also of AR, AK, and other pistols in general.
You can visit SB Tactical to learn more about their line of braces for pretty much all popular PDW pistols: www.sb-tactical.com
The Magpul X-22 Takedown for the Ruger 10/22 Takedown is now shipping. This is the take down version of the excellent X-22 stock. It is also a really good reason to repost the awesome X-22 Stock video that Magpul created:

If you build enough AR-15 uppers, you will eventually come across one that just isn’t going to cooperate with the torque specs. Don’t sweat it. You aren’t going to hurt anything if you have to go beyond the torque spec (within reason). Clint Hanson shares some of his experience with getting those last few millimeters of travel on your barrel nut in Ballistic Advantage’s most recent Builder Series video.
In addition to their line of AK accessories, Echo Nine Three is a full-service gunsmith with a ton of experience with the AK family of rifles. E93 occasionally shares easy, DIY AK improvements that you can do at home and I always learn a lot from them. The most recent is an fairly easy way to add a QD sling swivel socket to your AK Triangle Folding Stock.
You’ll just need a 3/8″ drill bit and a 1/2″ drill bit. A drill press would probably be nice but a vice and handheld drill will suffice.
You can find the tutorial on Echo Nine Three’s Facebook page. Each image has its own included instructions so be sure to click through the whole gallery before beginning.
Remember that really slick Roland Special Patch we mentioned a few weeks ago? Well, it’s available now at AT Armor. The patch is being offered by Primary & Secondary and all of the proceeds from it go toward the operating costs of the forum. Get yours at AT Armor.
