New Stabilizing Brace for AR15 Pistol "SB15"

[Koshinn]

Lots of wrong info in this thread. A pistol can Never have a second vertical grip otherwise it is no longer a pistol. ARs are specified to need a barrel length minimum on top of the 26" oal other wise there wouldn't be a need to pin a 14.5" barrel because you could go down to a 11.5" barrel and still meet the 26" oal. Also the sig brace is NOT a stock so you can't measure from the rear of the STOCK to the end of barrel because again it is not a stock

While true that a pistol can never have a second vertical grip, you can have a stock-less firearm with barrel length less than 16" and a second vertical grip if the overall length is greater than 26" without any NFA considerations. Such a firearm is not a pistol anymore, but it is also not a rifle. It's simply a "firearm." If such a firearm were less than 26" OAL, it would be an AOW.

For some reason I was thinking the Franklin Armory deal had a rescinded decision.

One of the major draws of the AR15 pistol with the arm brace (to me) is the ability to keep is as a trunk gun and legally keep it loaded. Does that ability disappear when it becomes a "firearm" opposed to a "pistol"?

Nevermind.

Depends on the state.

In my state I can keep a loaded rifle or pistol in my car as long as its concealed and encased.

Absolutely love the Sig brace!!!

Has anyone been questioned or bothered when using one of these at a public range?

So you see a possible issue/confrontation being made in the future?

A 'possible issue/confrontation' at a public range can include any manner of things (choice of caliber, rapid fire, drawing from holster, -the list is rather eternal). If some RO wants to whine about the Sig brace, it would not surprise me but that's hardly a reason to avoid getting one.

(disclaimer: I paid the $200 tax/waited the 90 days/got the stamp years ago for an SBR lower but am not sure why some have their panties in a knot against these Sig things - they save a lot of time/money)
