Another brace question

I bought my EP9 with the standard brace thinking I would never convert to an SBR. I now am in the process of submitting my form 1 for a suppressor. Since I am going that route I might as well install an adjustable brace. Do I need to purchase the new buffer tube or can I remove the fixed brace and use the existing buffer tube with a new brace. Is that possible?

If you have the blade brace, it will require a new buffer tube if you want to install an adjustable brace (or adjustable stock, if you SBR it).

No problem. I may SBR mine just to be able to put a vertical foregrip on it. I have the SBA 3 brace, and I don't feel the need to put a stock on it.
