You can brace it or put a stock on it. Your "voice" isn't going to stop a damned thing. So if you register your AR/AK pistol with the ATF can you take off the brace and add a buttstock? Remind us then why is being pushed to be registered then? It does not have a support handle. The checklist also goes through the different types of stabilizing support, assigning points to support systems, including the counterbalance, fin-type, and cuff-type braces. * Is it really legal to convert an "existing complete pistol upper & lower receiver gun" into a 16" carbine rifle using the original pistol lower receiver w/ a new 16" rifle barrel upper and carbine rifle stock ??? We need to be more aggressive and not only squash the stupid pistol brace proposal but also eliminate the overreaching SBR rules as well. I am absolutely astounded. (3) The term firearm means (A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such If someone purchases it that way and builds the pistol from parts themselves, it was technically never a pistol as associated with the SN. 2. you can not have back up iron sights on your AR pistol if you don't want it to be an sbr The ATF knows their move on brace stabilized AR pistols is total BS, but it's ruling I predict will stand as law/ requirement for quite some time before being found unconstitutional, if ever! (Obiden) Not getting into the right or wrong of NFA. So he told me when in doubt, always register your stripped lower as a pistol for that reason. Of course they doevery gun store has to keep records. We the people are the ones to protect our country from invading military forces from other countries, you will not see any ATF standing next to a American patriot ready to defend but them hiding behind a desk thinking that the political figures will protect them ,to which they will be hiding behind theirs. To hell with the ATF. That said, two important points: 1.) However, I am a law abiding citizen and will always use my firearms for any lawful purpose. yes, a pistol lower is just a lower. I have one question, and I'll ask those on this forum as well: On the 'proposed regulations' comment pages, I've yet to ever engage in the process over concerns of ending up on a new 'list.' I think it's less likely, but it's certainly within the realm of possibility. A better question would be Should the NFA, GCA, CCW permits etc all be done away with or should we remove the 2A from the Bill of Rights? Per ATF website on FAQ ATF has a national gun registry. I live in CT too. I dont know I would do anything to give them info thats all its about anyway so they can keep check on everyone.Hell Ill just be happier now knowing that all these criminals will have a stamp on theres.Thats how stupid this is why would legal good Americans havet to go threw this ,the ones that are bad 1,000,000 percent ant gona do dam thing there told on firearms,so whats it hurt if someone did shoot from shoulders with a brace.Id wait to see if it gets took down.this makes it a common use weapon just like 16. As soon as this hits the courts, it will be struck down. Will it be a problem to have the potential buyer register it? And this is where the ATF gets involved. But to reiterate, an AR pistol cannot use a buttstock. Yes this new ATF rule is bad, but nobody needs to worry that someone is going to kick their door in any day now. BRN-180s and PSA JAKL are bufferless but can take a stock or brace. Even if they revisit braces and ban them. It also means that Congress can dissolve any agency or department that is not mandated by the Constitution, of which there are many. Your demagoguery won't convince anyone. The "We support the 2nd, but this will make communities safer" Lie. Now where does this leave millions like me? Seems the policies being made are done by those uninformed politicians and not common sense. This entire witch hunt reeks of typical government smoke and mirror tactics,side stepping and ignoring criticality needed attention to the true enemies of our nation. But I would think it's possible to mill off the attachment points, to prevent attachment. So looking at the pros and cons, it strikes me as a better choice to be able to own these guns legally, and sell them or transfer them if I want to. They make law without calling it that. It provides stability while firing the AR pistol. This is entrapment and the info you provide them will likely result in in confiscation (since you are providing evidence of being an illegal possessor). What ever happen to our Constitution, and the first 10 amendment's called our Bill of Rights, and the True Rule of Law, with not no politics, or getting out of jail cards, no changing the true rules, from pressure that causes a love of Power, and a love of Money, and a Greed, which brings us to a two (2) tier justice system, that becomes corrupt, and those who truly knows what it means to a Empire, a Country, or a Kingdom, and the oath many have taken before entering one of our armed services, or agencies. @Rich yep you got it 100%. we've gotten so deep into clown world with these gun regulations that I'm surprised there isn't a mass movement to abolish the ATF out right. I agree with that 100%. Is the CAA attachment to my glock considered a SBR? Weve pulled all the essential info together to walk you through the braces humble beginnings, how AR pistols got involved, and the long-standing feud with the ATF over what you can (and cant do) with a brace. @doug Im sorry, but you are wrong. I do understand that short barrels and stocks make the guns more concealable. while I disagreeI will comply,not facing off with Federal Government(I dearly value My freedom,gun rights..) which I will not lose over this. What about the Troy A4 other - its not classified as a pistol, AOW or rifle.. its also 26-1/2 long but the barrel length is less then 16. ATF codified this interpretation in the bump stock rule in 2018 (83 Fed. Thank you for your response Greg J, I just don't think that your short answer is the full story, as there seems to be so much still unfolding with what the ATF will actually do in the end or if it legally binding? No one ever asks the logical next question , which is THEN WHAT?. Once it is brought into I think its wrong though to mandate destroying the brace in any manner. This is a charge being pursued by several lawsuits about the ATFs recent shenanigans, such as the Frames ), vertical fore grip and arm brace (can be collapsing arm brace as collapsing butt stocks are illegal in CT too). On top of it all is the fact that the ATF doesnt have the power to make laws. But that their current definition for a brace is unconstitutionally ambiguous for lack of specificity. These w, For those interested in Options. If you have proof to the contrary then by all means get off the Internet RIGHT NOW, go to your local elections office and present your proof. If (or really when) this is overturned, as it should be, just build another. This question and the replies still indicate confusion on how to handle this. Get Our Top Shooting Drills and Zeroing Targets ($47 value - but FREE for a limited time). the pistol brace is the only way to get out of that trick bag. I randomly came across this article; had I not, I would potentially have an illegal firearm. The list goes on and on. First is there is no congressional oversight of ATF. She did a very good job. That stinks! if you have multiple AR pistols is a stamp required for each? The ATF is the regulatory agency for the firearms industry, which gives it the power to interpret and apply federal laws governing firearms. Having equ, Our Homie @manny_smash reppin the MM/GST. Thanks! I challenged any attorney claiming otherwise to agree to a bond guaranteeing his/her opinion is correct: Quite simply, this is just a way for the ATF to incrementally ban firearms and put you on a short list for future confiscation. Yes.but if you take it off. Time to move off the grid. Approximately 40 million gun owners who have these weapons. Will it have to be registered the same as a AR with a Pistol Brace(if the new rule goes into effect in 12/2022)? Its not a pistol stabilizing brace, its a shirt stabilizing device. I may be corrected, but that is how I understand it. The current SCOTUS has much stricter interpretations regarding government agency regulatory boundaries and limits. I thought so, but hoped it was otherwise. Jackie Billings, what does this mean: "Also, if you own a lower receiver with a factory-installed brace, you will have to pay the $200, as the exemption is only applicable to already completed firearms." They should let everyone own Thompson S.M.Gs, B.A,Rs and Mini Gatling Guns with 6k rounds per minute firing capability. SBRs shouldn't be regulated in the first place. The damn cat needs to be put put back in the box. The ATF is overstepping. If going through the checklist results in too many points total, you lose the game. Or will the law go into affect and the ATF proceed to enforce it, until the Courts rule otherwise? I'll start by echoing all those who pointed out that *of course* a braced pistol is the same as an SBR. I think it's a matter of when they will be restricted, rather than if, based on recent developments. The stamp makes the weapon registered for future confiscation. These two links will take you to the automatic forms to share your thoughts on the proposed bans through the ATF. Appreciate the article. I may earn a small part of the sale from links to any products or services on this site. You don't shoulder or brace a pistol. Period. Fight to end the NFAnot grudgingly accept it. Honestly, they look very similar, and it can be confusing to differentiate between the two. I didnt get a memo from my FFL or from any of the stores Ive purchased from online saying that I may need to look at this new law Ill just wait it out. Waiting periods can be as short as a couple of months or as long as a year, depending on the ATFs backlog. I have a 7" AR pistol and i just installed a smooth buffer tube on it. As usual they attack soft targets of no risk but big MSM notoriety,law abiding citizens. Pistols are defined as firearms that were designed primarily to be fired with one hand so a VFG will run afoul of the law in most cases. A weapon with a 16 or longer barrel and 26 or longer overall length is NOT an NFA SBR, so not subject to registration and taxation. Any opinions or experiences from others on here? But please explain how you think your shouldered AR pistol isn't an SBR. Excellent article! The ATF got rid of the points worksheet and pretty much said "all braces are banned" even though they did some gaslighting by saying it won't affect disabled people using a brace properly (which is a lie because if you read all 297 pages of this nonsense the only way out is registration, destruction, or surrendering). The short answer is that an other firearm is one that is designed to be fired with 2 hands, does not have a stock and has an overall length that exceeds 26. I dont think the rank and file of the ATF had anything to do with this mandate. I thought Congress did that. Which end result - why continue to be a law abiding citizen if criminals have more freedoms? Pistol braces are a loophole to SBR registration and is rightfully being closed. The SBR argument is ridiculous to begin with. Common sense! Whats your favorite flavor of boot polish? I live in CT where ARs are banned but what is interesting is that the loophole (for now) is to build a firearm classified as 'other'. 3For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Not even thinking about the future for our Children and Grandchildren. You use less than and greater than, but did not address what matters most - EQUAL TO. He was also the one who said we should take guns first and worry about due process later! I know of less than 3 Stripped Receivers, that are stamped with "Pistol" anywhere on them. The EPA had gone too far afield in its regulatory power attempting to regulate aspects of West Virginia's power generating that wasn't authorized by Congress. *Asking for a friend. Second: How about putting all the energy and money spent cornering law abiding citizens and apply it to going after and punishing actual criminals. It was always a matter of time before they went bye bye. Where, in ratifying the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, did We The People consent to allow a bureaucratic entity [ATF] to make rules with the force of law? Those folks will have to convert the gun into a carbine or be in non-compliance. If you register your braced pistol with the ATF within the 120 day grace period you will not have to pay the $200 tax stamp. This is just another way for law abiding people to be forced to register their firearms. (BTW, Trump also accused Ted Cruz of committing election fraud when Cruz won the 2016 Iowa Caucus. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) promulgated a new Final Rule in January with drastic implications for millions of existing law-abiding gun owners. 
What about where the barrel is 16" and overall greater than 26"? I've avoided the Pistol w/brace configuration in any buy or build. What's next is anybody's guess. As gun owners clamored to fight the bureaus proposal reclassifying braced AR pistols, they were in for yet another surprise. likely for that suppressor laying on it. I'm retired and decided to take up a hobby that would also offer me some preparation and protection in the event of any unfortunate incidents. There is no world where it's a good idea to have braces and AR pistols as an NFA item. April 4th, AHT scoped carbine in the wild ATF is not in that list, they also have a Dun and Bradstreet #, they are a for profit corporation. Put simply, an AR pistol is an AR-style firearm shrunk down to meet the ATFs definition of a pistol. I also just bumped randomly into this info and, without quick action will become a felon with a FACTORY ISSUED item purchased from a local gun store, with the ATF having full knowledge of this transaction. Is it now considered an SBR? As that old saying goes, Youre entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. To that end, repeating ad nauseum that the election was stolen doesnt make it so. This is society, parents or both failing the child. NOTHING IS FREE.YOUR WELCOME!!!!! That was problem with bump stocks. And Ill not begin on the whole unethical,violatingand just plain wrong all this is. All of these laws and rules are infringements on our second amendment rights period. What is a government NOT "of and by the people" called? I'm looking for the ATF letter now, ill post when I find it. I think I'm going to ride this one out though as I see it, it would be unconstitutional. Will I have to get it registered at that point? Look for the next installment on smallarmsreview.com in the coming weeks. By the way a SBR form 1 takes me 22-23 days from sending it to having it in hand. Luke 11:21 The ATF has published an FAQ section on their site devoted to this ruling, and we encourage you check that out for more info! Any way here we go again ! If you are concerned don't use your real information. The same guy who proposed Court packing and so many other ills? The ATF and legislators who go after firearms do so in fear, for control, or both. remember that keeping a complete upper with a barrel under 16" (or just a bare barrel itself) in the same residence can get you in trouble too. In practical terms, now we will have to ask for permission from the ATF to cross state lines with our AR pistols. This stock did not "make a machine gun", but it played well in the media. Do you just slap on one of those smooth buffer tubes with the foam and it's legal? Firearms with pistol grips attached: The definition of a shotgun under the GCA, 18 U.S.C. Really - aw come on man this is so much smoke my eyes hurt ! So I'm not all that worried about being on ATF's list after I register my braced pistols as SBRs. So what your saying is a barrel less than 16" will kill more people? So we need more clarification as it sounds like removing the brace off an AR style pistol will not be sufficient. And, by the way, anything that helps the shooter hit their intended target is a good thing. Its hard for me to swallow the notion that our forefathers were against rules. If you want to register just weight thier is a good chance that if BATF changes thier mined again you will be able to register for free. If you think that continuing to believe a blatant lie is somehow useful, go for it! That's the only other reason I have them, freedom of travel. Definition. Connor, you are exactly right on modifying a brace. 
There's no good reason for it then to obstruct law abiding citizens. Gee, I wonder.) But when does the grace period start? I caught that too. The NFA as a whole is a clunky outdated law that was passed to deal with Prohibition era gun violence. Business premises. Anyone else pondered the thought that if we all just caved and said fine, it's an SBR how long it would take for 40 million applications to get processed? i live right on the border of 2 states that i shoot a lot in Brace and add a buttstock to having it in hand and, by the way SBR!
