26" OAL + SB15 + VFG Clarification

[702Warfighter]

I just finished building my first AR pistol and I wanted some clarification on the whole vfg on a pistol with a oal of 26". I know I can add a vfg to it if it's over 26" but can it be used in conjunction with a sig brace? The brace was made for pistols and since adding a vfg to a pistol with a oal of 26" makes it a non aow or, firearm. Does that change the legality of having a brace on the "firearm"? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The brace does not count toward length at all. The brace can be used on a pistol or firearm over 26" but it can't be used to get you to over 26". Local and state laws may be different on the brace.

Unless you're in a non NFA friendly state, just SBR the thing. Form 1s are so fast and easy right now. If not, use an AFG on your pistol and call it a day.

Just remember - OAL is measured from the end of the buffer tube to the muzzle of the barrel and not the end of the muzzle device. OAL is measured to the end of the muzzle device only if the muzzle device is permanently attached to the barrel (pinned and/or welded).

I have a bcm 11.5 upper with a kak super sig buffer tube so I'm good on the oal. I was just curious if I could use a vfg and a sig brace at the same time since the gun will become a firearm and not a pistol anymore once I add a vfg. I don't like the afg so that's why I wanted a vfg. I would like to go the sbr route but I don't like the fact that I can't go across state lines without permission. Having it a pistol makes it easier. I appreciate the advise though.

What was the conclusion?

What was the conclusion?

Yeah I'd like to know also, I have a 10.5" barrelled pistol that has a sb15 brace on it and would like to put a vfg on it if legal also.

You're good to go. The brace does not change what the pistol is. The vfg however does making it a non aow.
