How about a picture of the whole firearm? Hard to tell from just some pictures of parts. Looks like maybe a Saint Victor, but really can’t tell without seeing the whole thing at once.

Don’t get me wrong, but...why does an exact build date on modern weapons matter to people? I can get it on older firearms, but not on new ones.
Just curious and trying to find out exactly what the model is.

I would guess, STV975556Y
Check the SA website. I would get that velcro strap back on the stabilizer before it's accidentally considered an SBR.

You could also register the warranty. In doing so, they will send you a confirmation with the picture of your weapon as built and the corresponding model number.

That’s a Saint Victor pistol in 5.56. Looks like the same as the one I bought with the fixed length brace on it. My model is the STV975556B. You don’t see it on the website because the new SV pistols have the adjustable brace. I got mine towards the end of 2019.
The only letters on the SN are ST at the beginning no V no E no B at the end. Nowhere on the pistol are the words Victor or Edge. It is a fixed brace.
The registration seems to have gone through no image came up while registering it.

In the email they send back with confirmation, there is usually a pic attached "as built" . I have registered each one I have with Springfield and all have had the representative image. For me it was helpful to discern whether or not the dealer had swapped out trigger groups or not.

Nope no image with the email either.
Please explain. I'm a single shot guy. Last couple purchases were semi autos but these are a whole new game for me. Also it is a temp cobbled up strap from my pile until I can figure out what hardware I need and best location for it.
I'm sorry I mis-read your post. Thought you were refreing to the carry strap.

Conventional wisdom is to leave the stabilizing brace exactly as it came, lest some overzealous ATF agent decide you are "modifying or re-designing" it into a stock. Which would make it a Short Barreled Rifle and subject to NFA rules.

You should be able to replace the brace with a different brace, as long as the new brace has been approved by the ATF. I replaced my brace with the Gearheadworks Tailhook mod 2. I printed out their approval letter just in case I ever need it. But you are right. If you modify your brace, such as by removing the forearm strap, you’re asking for trouble for sure.

Yep. I just meant that whatever brace you have it's generally a good idea to leave it as it was designed and packaged or sold.
Yeah that strap, that's like putting a skirt on a man and calling it a women!
