This is where I landed after I couldn't find any other brace to fit the Vltor tube. The Tailhook has a "letter of approval" or whatever from ATF as well if that means anything.

I not sure about mixing things, but, adjustable or not only makes a points diff on the bs worksheet.

And in the fine print, right at the top of the form, it essentially says "An SBR is whatever we say it is, regardless of the score on this worksheet"
