How to Fix a Loose Sig Brace
JerkingTheTrigger has created a step-by-step tutorial for shooters who are looking to move their Sig Sauer arm brace from one pistol receiver extension tube to another tube. The secret? Boil the brace. Tools needed? Minimal:
Stretched out SB15 Brace
Soup/Stock Pot – Note: This pot needs to be big enough to hold the SB15 and enough water to cover it. Preferably, it should be large enough that it has room to hold all of that and little more so it doesn’t boil over.
Water
Stove
Timer
Kitchen tongs
As it turns out, the brace will contract when exposed to high temperatures and will reset itself back to its production diameter. For those looking for detailed directions (or just a good guffaw at their breaking-it-down-barney-style instructions) can hit the link to the original article.

Much easier than that if you have a compressor. Air injected just under the edge with the air nozzle lets you slip it right off. No mess, no wait. Instant.
I've only ever had my stock on one tube, but I still find it to be too loose. Not so much that it wants to come off, but that it rotates too easily. I'd love a solution for that problem.
