?, Once the approval has been received on an AR with a brace: Can a vertical grip now be added? Can the brace be removed and another type of stock be used?
If you Form 1'd it the ATF considers it a SBR. You are free to add a foregrip.Do not add a vertical foregrip to a pistol as that makes an AOW. A $5 tax stamp.
Rifle, SBR, or SBS go for it.
i havent seen/heard anyone who submitted a form1 to actually receive a stamp.If you Form 1'd it the ATF considers it a SBR. You are free to add a foregrip.
I have 6 approved so far with a few more in the queue.i havent seen/heard anyone who submitted a form1 to actually receive a stamp.
That doesn't sound sketchy at all...No actual stamp, but Form 1 approval (there is no stamp since no stamp tax was paid).
That is what does not make sense to me: if Treasury waived the cost over the BATFE amnesty per se, then the stamp should be free.No actual stamp, but Form 1 approval (there is no stamp since no stamp tax was paid).
That's my feeling as well. You basically have an illegally configured gun unless some beaurocrat says your okay. Sketchy.That is what does not make sense to me: if Treasury waived the cost over the BATFE amnesty per se, then the stamp should be free.
The stamp proves without a doubt, the NFA item is legal. Anything else will get tied up in bureaucratic red tape.
There are plenty of NFA items that are perfectly lawful with tax exempt forms and no stamp for a variety of reasons, always have been. Basically any NFA item going to a LEO agency, NFA items being inherited, and those transferred by court order. The stamp is just proof you were required to pay the tax, and did so. The approved form, signature, control number all are proof it is a lawful NFA item. Of course there is the "conditional approval" and "pursuant to ATF final rule 2021R-08F" on the back is really the only concern, in that if the rule is wiped out, it gives some wiggle room for the ATF to rescind all the approved form 1s, but a couple NFA youtube lawyers say that is generally just proof the ATF provides to show they approved as tax exempt, and would be a guaranteed quick loss in courts if they actually tried to do that.That is what does not make sense to me: if Treasury waived the cost over the BATFE amnesty per se, then the stamp should be free.
