The Midwest Industries MI-ARMSF-ODG Side Folding Arm Brace delivers enhanced maneuverability and storage efficiency for AR-platform pistols. This ODG-finished aluminum brace transforms compact firearms handling with its robust folding mechanism and secure stabilization platform.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed braces that limit transport options, this side-folding design reduces overall length by approximately 7 inches when folded. The 6061-T6 aluminum construction provides military-grade durability while maintaining a lightweight profile that won't upset your pistol's balance. The precise machining ensures consistent lockup in both deployed and folded positions, eliminating the wobble common in budget alternatives.
Key Features
- Side-folding mechanism reduces storage footprint for vehicle transport and case storage
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction with ODG Type III hard coat anodizing
- Positive locking detents in both open and closed positions
- Compatible with standard AR-15 pistol buffer tubes and mil-spec threading
- Textured contact surface provides secure shoulder placement
- Ambidextrous operation accommodates left and right-handed shooters
- Tool-free folding operation for rapid deployment
Field performance centers on reliability under stress. The robust hinge mechanism maintains zero play after thousands of folding cycles, while the hard anodized finish resists wear from repeated contact. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent cheek weld, while tactical users value the reduced profile for vehicle operations and confined spaces.
