Trying to decide whether to cut off my A2 FH or buy one of these:

OK, I've cut down my A2 FH .
Now, my pistol is 25 5/8" from end of FH to end of buffer tube (yes, I'm aware that the FH does not contribute to the OAL or bbl lengths if not permanently attached).
I would like to find a Pistol Brace that fits on, but does not extend beyond the end of, my 6 15/16" buffer tube
(measured from receiver end plate to back of buffer tube [no castle nut] as installed)(see photo).
Anyone know of such a Brace?

SBA3 measured 6 3/4. SBPDW was same or similar in length but not currently installed.

Yes from the end of the brace collapsed to the receiver end plate, just like you asked.
I have never seen the definition of how to measure barrel length officially published for MI. The ATF does publish the procedure they use but it is not coded into law either.
MI does deviate from the ATF method by using the collapsed stock length (per an MI AG ruling) to define if it needs to be registered as a pistol which is different than the ATF which uses the fully extended length.
It has been reported that the MI State Police use the ATF method for measuring barrel length (without removable muzzle device) but there is nothing officially published that I have seen.
Maybe one of the FFL people here can provide some insight as they might have some info or guidance on how MI wants this measurement taken.
