Travis, member, from FL, United States, asked on June 06, 2022

would this brace for sig mpx-k?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on June 20, 2022

The Maxim Defense Industries PDW Brace AR-15 is designed for use with AR15's. It replaces the buffer tube and buffer assembly on an AR15. Since the Sig MPX does not use a buffer assembly the Maxim Defense Industries PDW Brace AR-15 will not work.

Steve, guest, from CA, United States, asked on March 30, 2022

I ordered your Maxim PDW brace, item 47534(9mm spring)instead of the 47524(556 spring). I’m using it on a 556. Will the 9mm buffer spring work on 556?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on April 06, 2022

The 9mm spring for the Maxim Defense Industries PDW Brace might work for a 5.56 but it is recommended you use the 5.56 set up.

I got the 5.5 full upper in 7.62x39. I want to use the brace for my10.5 build 5.56, what kind of spring do I need and weight?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 15, 2022

The Maxim Defense Industries AR-15 SCW Buffer and Spring that I would recommend for your setup is the H2 buffer. This will allow for consistent, reliable feeding and ejection. You can find it using the following link:
