Well there go the pistol braces.

[Samlab]

Someone is wearing a skirt to get around what is second hand an issue. I knew this was coming. Doesn't affect me....at all. But a short barreled rifle with a brace is a SBR not a pistol.....just ask the ATF approval person who's been diagnosed as dyslexic.

I think were in the too late than never mode. It's not a pistol, it's an SBR with a brace for what is really a short, weird butt stock.

So your non SBR is really a pistol in disguise functioning as a SBR. LMTO.

Question for the thought pool. Say this gets through and ATFE waves the $200 tax. Once it's registered as a SBR for $0.00; what's stopping anyone from putting a normal collapsible stock on said item? Asking for a friend.

What I want to know is if people will have to prove they had a pistol before. If not then I have 5 AR pistols that need free SBR stamps.

If that's the route I have a butt load of them that are will need given the free tax stamp. They're just not built yet.

It’s ridiculous that braces were needed - should just be able too own whatever the hell firearm you want.

 

[gmacd81]

I would think so. If it’s an SBR, it’s an SBR. Problem if that if it’s under 29 inches you can’t have it in Maryland at all. So basically any AR with less than a 10.5 in (ish) barrel is a complete no go.

10.5 should just make it depending of course on the muzzle device you have on it.

The muzzle device would need to be permanent. Mine is about 27” with no brake and mil-spec buffer with 10.5” barrel

ATF has withdrawn the proposed change

SBRs are measured with the stock fully extended.
Colt says a 10.5" with the classic telestock is between 28 and 30" depending on the source, so switch the stock to one with a screw-on recoil pad if need.

They are regrouping. Stay vigilant my friends.

My stock must be shorter (TWSS). Doesn’t really matter to me anyway since mine has no #s. If the stupid thing is ever passed I’ll just leave the stock/brace off and stabilize with the sling

Yep. They're by no means done...

Probably walked it back when they saw how much $$ they'd be losing with 4-5 million "amnesty" applications.

I think they threw us a bone with no meat just to make us think we made a difference. Damn right they will be back.

 

[CodeWarrior1241]

Is now then the time to buy 4-5 more braces?

Free men and women are not allowed to have nice things, because we are not truly free.

You will be reminded shortly.

Pistol Brace issue

From the American Suppressor Association

BREAKING: ATF Withdraws Notice & Request For Comment On Pistol Braces
Shortly after ASA sent out our Action Alert last night, ATF posted a letter to their website withdrawing ATF Docket # 2020R-10 from the Federal Register, ending their request for comment just five days after posting it. The notice resulted in massive public outcry to the tune of over 67,000 comments - including nearly 20,000 comments in the last 24 hours. 89 members of Congress also sent a letter to the Attorney General and the Acting ATF Director requesting that they reconsider their position.

Merry Christmas All!!

Yeah, as others have mentioned, it appears they got trigger happy and then realized they couldn't do a rule (they mentioned it being guidance, not a rule) without a longer comment period. My guess is they'll wait til Biden is in, appoints a ATF director, then form a rule with official comment period.

Stock up on lowers and braces now . Once again, anti-gunners plan to regulate an item out of existence will backfire and increase it, at least in the short term.
