Bolt carrier? by Zach Davis, February 4, 2020
If I order this brace do I need to change out the bolt carrier group for my 7.5 inch barrel saint victor pistol? I have the SB tactical brace and like it but need a couple extra inches off for backpack carrying. Any answers would help me out a lot.

Product Info for Maxim Defense Industries PDW Brace for AR-15, Standard Buffer/Spring

When you just want to make it short, the PDW Brace is your huckleberry. That doesn’t mean it’s short on functionality. The PDW Brace still features rapid deployment. And the dual QD sling attachments in our CQB Series housing have been removed and replaced by a single rear QD plate. Made from the same proven materials as our CQB Series, the streamlined housing and extension tube reduce manufacturing time, making this our most cost-effective brace option available.image

DO NOT MODIFY A BCG TO MAKE IT COMPATIBLE. DO NOT REMOVE THE WEIGHT FROM 9MM BCG’S. JP DOES NOT RECOMMEND FOR SELECT FIRE.
