New BATF rules for AR pistol braces? #15541221 12/18/20 Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 32,149 OMAHA 260Remguy OP Campfire 'Bwana OP 260Remguy Campfire 'Bwana Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 32,149 OMAHA I read that the BATF is looking at changing the status of the AR pistols with braces to NFA short barrel rifles. Is that a real thing or just an internet rumor?

We'll see.

I'm of the same mind. I didn't want the headache of an NFA weapon, but the potential headaches of the braces going forward might make it make sense to me too. And could just put a real stock on it.

Having a registered AR pistol likely provides prima facie evidence that one will have other ARs that are not registered. Last edited by Stray; 12/19/20.

Helps Biden and his flunkies build the registry and sets a precedence if they decide all AR's are "easily convertible to Full Auto" or some other BS in order to require NFA stamps on all Semi-auto's or some other BS.
