    No pistol braces here...but I kinda want to go buy a few now..
    I also have no braces but I do have a AR pistol with a Phase 5 buffer tube. Does it qualify to be registered as an SBR with the ATF without having to pay the $200 tax?

    And what will this do for all of these gun manufacturers who are selling braced pistols. Ruger, Springfield and Palmetto for example. Are they going to have to put disclaimers on their guns stating that the gun is possibly an SBR depending on what optic, forward grip or magazine a person uses?

    Don't forget CZ. They sell at least 4 - 8 configurations of pistols with braces.

    Copied from MAC's Facebook page:

    In the next 48 hours the DOJ will publish a letter for a rule change on the Federal Register that will possibly change the public perception of braces and place the ATF in a position to rule on any individual braced pistol to be an illegal SBR. Things like caliber, length of pull, accessories like scopes, forward hand grips, drum magazines and bipods may lead the ATF to deem your particular firearm to be an illegal SBR. However, the letter does not offer any detailed guidance as to the specifics such as the calibers that make it a SBR, the specific length of pull, the weight, etc. it only speaks in generalities.

    Because the letter does not clearly define what is a legal braced configuration vs. an illegal SBR, it leaves owners to guess for themselves what might be legal and what isn’t. Owners will have the option of registering their braced pistol on the NFA but the tax will we waived as long as the gun was in said configuration prior to the publication of the DOJ letter. You will also be able to remove the brace, surrender the gun, change the barrel length to 16” or destroy the firearm. The letter on the Federal Register will be open for comments for 2 weeks.

    The end of the letter states that the rule change does not carry the force of law. So what does it mean? Only the ATF and DOJ seem to know. Welcome to the largest gun registration scheme in US history. I hope you’re as pissed off as I am. More to come.

    Things like this is why I went ahead and did the paperwork for a trust. I don't want to have to SBR a pistol, but I wanted to be prepared just in case.

    The NRA went straight in the crapper with WLP. He is a self serving douche.

    Most likely if the tax is waived it will only be for "pistol" registration.

    I applied for the SBR stamp a couple of weeks ago for one lower that will cover me for 2 different uppers.

    If the above info is correct I will take my chances on the 8.3" barreled AR9 pistol as not as likely to be deemed an SBR.

    You’re getting way too deep. I’m offended. REPORTED.
