This is a clone of a Marshall 50-watt tube head:

I'll do my best, but I worry about the neighbors ;) No Strat - a homebuilt Les Paul clone and a Gibson Les Paul.

When I was browsing Primary Arms for stuff recently, I almost added one of these SB Tactical braces to my cart: https://www.primaryarms.com/sb-tactical ... race-black. Has 5 standard M4-style adjustment positions (when did that become the usual deal for pistol braces?) and I liked that it had a buffer tube already in place and ready to go. Helped a friend with a pistol build a while back and getting the tube in the brace and flush was a pain.

Also liked that the SB has an ambi QD sling socket. On my friend's we put a QD mount on the first available rail position for a single-point sling which worked okay, but it made the sling balance point a little odd and made the pistol's grip and barrel cant inward kind of oddly. Given the way the SBA4 brace is shaped, I'm not exactly certain how it's supposed to be used as a forearm brace but hey, seems a lot of these things have really evolved more toward "stock" than "brace." I hadn't thought about a LAW Tactical folder but I assume that would work just fine. Could make mighty nice traveling companion.

Dangit. Now that I've been talking about it, makes me want to go back and buy one.
