    ATF now stating they never reversed 2015 open letter

    Sorry if this is a repost, saw this on reddit and another forum this week.



    They are apparently sending this out with all new pistol brace letters according to the user who posted/leaked it. I haven't seen anything on any of the big gun blogs about it, which is odd considering this is pretty big news?

    In any event i'm just glad i got my F1 SBRs in last year, i knew that whole letter thing last year with the braces wasn't going to last.

    What stabilizing brace configurations have been approved implicitly by the ATF?

    What if one wears a shoulder harness / vest / garment that has a socket in the shoulder that allows the butt end of the buffer to rest on? It's never "attached" to the pistol.
    This would actually aid in accuracy since you'll always get a more consistent position for cheek weld. Combine this with a telescoping Pistol Buffer Tube and voila?

    Do we have a link to a credible source?

    I saw this on r/firearms - https://reddit.com/r/Firearms/commen...pistol_braces/

    Though reading through the comments again someone in a different sub came forward and said they got the same thing in a letter from atf - https://reddit.com/r/Firearms/commen...d9n/?context=3 and it looks like theirs has more to it too

    Personally I always thought the last letter just tried to clarify their stance. My take away was that if you're using a brace as a stock, it could be re-classified as a stock. At the end of the day, it would really be up to a prosecutor and a jury to determine that.

    I don’t know. I think we should keep discussing it on public forums and writing the ATF letters.
