Most Helpful Positive Review Misleading Advertisement, Does not function using your mil-spec Ar-15 bolt group

Unfortunately I purchased this product knowing I could not return the product if it didn't function with my mil-spec AR-15 bolt and carrier. That is the misleading part, I should have given more thought when reading one of the very first reviews of the product as shown on Optics Planet. Bought many ...

Most Helpful Negative Review Change the DESCRIPTION!!!!

This is for a "PISTOL CALIBER CARBINE" NOT A "AR PISTOL with a Rifle caliber" It comes with the WRONG buffer spring and buffer.

maxim cqb pdw gen 6 brace

by t, Verified Owner from WV, United States Written on April 30, 2026

This brace completed my 45 acp build, this gets very small, much smaller than the models I have that have a longer length buffer tube. Ran great through 400 plus rounds using their buffer and spring with a side charge bear creek 45 upper. Their are multiple models but this comes with the buffer needed for PC builds, worked good on 45 and sure it would for 9mm/40 builds

Pros:

compact
Looks

Cons:

None

Wrong Caliber

by skinnygrey, from WA, United States Written on August 29, 2022

I bought this brace three times-two of which the buffer tube in the spring was for a pistol caliber, I believe. This prevented the weapon from locking back all the way after the mag was empty. On the brace which works, it's fantastic. I tried calling and emailing Maxim, but to my knowledge, did not hear back. Make sure you order one with the correct spring and tube.

This is a great brace, but………….you cannot run a milspec (regular sized) bolt carrier group with it. The bolt face will not lock correctly, as in the bolt face will sit forward of the bolt catch. You will need to purchase a shorter BCG from Maxim Defense and an additional buffer that runs with it.

Top Notch for Arm Brace

by John, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on June 25, 2020

Just got it today, installed it on my stripped AR-15 pistol. The length from the trigger to the fully extended butt
of the stock is less than 13". Build quality is top notch, no complain about the weight. A bit pricey, but then again you get what you paid for.
