As I understand it, 922r did not apply to pistols. The only problem now is under the new classification, if you installed a brace it is now an SBR which is a rifle and 922r does apply so if you remove the brace and nobody knows it ever had one on it then it should be ok or am I missing something. If you bought it with a brace then yes. It is a problem. I am saying that if you bought it as a pistol and installed the brace yourself then you can just remove the brace.I maybe wrong but it’s a 922 issue and removing the brace does not solve it, Militarily arms channel dropped a video today about it, turn it in or destroy it are the only 2 options on imported guns with braces
