I just don't feel like SBR-ing my 3 AR Pistols. I de-braced all of them and am going to have long flash hiders pinned and welded to them. What really sucks is one of them was my suppressor host. I also don't feel like being a test case for the ATF.
Replacement 6 position buffer tubes run $20 to $30.
I have extra collapsible stocks around the house.
Long flash hiders are available at Model 1 Sales. When I ordered 2 they only had the $20 holed version in stock.

KAK Industries has a retro slotted flash hider in stock and I just ordered 1 for $31.95.

The extended length flash hiders are light weight. Combined with my 10.5 and 11 inch uppers they still feel light weight and handy. I don't have the KAK flash hider in my hands but the Model 1 sales version now works with a bayonet.
Note the flash hiders are loosely screwed on in this pic.
Edited to add "Nothing says back off, like a fixed bayonet in the middle of a riot."
