Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles ATF pistol brace rule update

They’re just trying to get some sort of count on braces out there, and enough PII on individuals with them to enforce. It’s BS as it sits.

Entrapment anyone?

And who is going to enforce this illegal rule???? If there are any volunteers I'll send them my address ; )

They are approving the free tax stamps as “conditionally approved”, moving them along at a decent pace. Once they get approved, one can replace the brace with a real stock. However, don’t throw away your brace because if the rule gets overturned, you will have to go back to the brace and it will go back to being a pistol with all the limitations that goes with it. (No VG, magnified optics, etc.)

A paid form 1 is taking about 30-60 days to process. Once it’s done, it’s a real SBR and goes with all the SBR rules. I have a pistol lower set back with a pistol tube, (so there’s no mistaking it), for traveling out of state. But I do love my SBR, even without the can.

Everyone will just have to make their own decisions and live with them. But the clock is ticking…

[quote=antelope_sniper]Here's an update on why this is a trap.

Short version is the ATF processed their own background checks. If a check stays open for 88 days it's an automatic denial, and per the ATF Deputy Director, will results in "Enforcement action" for posession of an unregistered SBR, up to 10 years Quote


still say this is a set up

You know those 88 days don’t start till they start on your application.

The sky is falling! Please send money!!

The thought of something that was perfectly fine now being subject to NFA regulation, all because some bureaucrats waved a magic wand to appease their gun grabbing political masters, rankles the hell out of me.

I may change my mind at some point, but right now I have no intention of playing their bullshìt games. The way I feel about it at present, I'll cut the damn chamber in half with a grinder and toss the barrel in the trash before I play their tax stamp song and dance.

The whole thing is frickin ridiculous. I certainly hope the various lawsuits succeed.

It's all about the agenda

I’ll pay the postage, just send me the short barrels! Only decent ones though please…
