    They said a lot of fluff but nothing really substantive. They MAY take the ATF to court over it, and I pray they do, but they gave themselves an out just the same with the whole in accordance with the law bit.

    Nope just making an observation. Could have just a legal team is looking hard at possible options.

    This will be interesting. Hopefully it doesn't backfire on SIG. The SB-15 brace brought a lot of people into the AR pistol world.

    It was about as forceful as it could have been. A big company like Sig won't state they are entering into an expensive legal action until they are certain.
    They already went through this with the MPX break and lost.

    Have they lost over the mpx brake? I saw where they filed suit in October 2014 but haven't seen anywhere that they lost, just that the atf doesn't agree with them.

    Not according to this.

    I like the approach of their attorney:

    But instead of challenging the law, SIG’s attorney, Stephen Halbrook, said he sees the suit as challenging the regulator.

    The law defines regulated devices in a certain way and the ATF overreaches how it enforces those definitions,” he said.

    the real prize isn't getting the SB15 brace 'legal', it's repealing the stupid NFA rules on SBR's in the first place. Sig might think it's a business decision on the brace, but they would make much more money if they could sell SBR's to any law abiding citizen...

    The response from Sig isn't about repealing the NFA, but holding the ATF accountable for "arbitrary and capricious" rulings that overstep their authority. Under the current circumstances, I think this is the best thing that can happen and I am glad Sig at least made a statement. The way I see it, their pending suit with the MPX brake is very much like the Brace in that the decision was arbitrary. ATF says its a silencer part, even though USE shows that it is not a silencer and does not reduce db. If we are lucky, Sig will win that a silencer part is not a silencer until assembled into a working suppressor. There is no telling what will actually come out of the suit.

    SCOTUS already decided the NFA is constitutional.
