ATF: Shouldering Pistol Brace is Fine

[jwhited]

I know there's been a lot of speculation about this lately. The ATF has made a determination about all those pseudo-SBR's out there.

Per the ATF Firearms Technology Branch:

FTB classifies weapons based on their physical design characteristics. While the usage/functionality of the weapon does influence the intended design, it is not the sole criteria for determining the classification of a weapon. Generally speaking, we do not classify weapons based on how an individual uses a weapon.

Yep. With the abundance of AR manufacturers now, when will more jump on the Brace/pistol wagon? There's a killing to be made on AR pistols that aren't $1200 Rock rivers.

That's great!

If only I was tiny enough to shoulder one.

I'm sure you could back it out a little bit. Maybe put a piece of dowel in the tube or something.

Best way I can explain it is compare a hammer(sbr) to a pair or linemen pliers(Brace).

A hammer is used to drive nails effectively, but you can use a pair of pliers, in a way they weren't intended to be used, to drive the same nail. However, your not going to want to do it all day.

You really nailed that analogy.

Me too, and so are a LOT of other folks.
