Maxim Defense Industries CQB Pistol PDW Gen 6 Brace for AR15, Small Buffer/Spring
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 ...

This is for a "PISTOL CALIBER CARBINE" NOT A "AR PISTOL with a Rifle caliber" It comes with the WRONG buffer spring and buffer. If you try and install it on your "RIFLE CALIBER PISTOL" you wont be able to lock the bolt back because the buffer is too long and wont let the bolt travel all the way bac...

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.
Would recommend: Yes

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.
