As these firearms don’t have stocks, pistols are commonly equipped with smooth buffer tubes specific to pistols, or with stabilizing braces. Stabilizing braces, commonly called pistol braces, appear on both smooth buffer tubes and traditional buffer tubes, enhancing the ability of the shooter to aim and stabilize the pistol. This is by no means a de-facto build, simply a build that attempts to showcase a variety of options one may choose when building an AR-10 pistol, plus approximate costs.
