Uh... The last paragraph can be interpreted as: all pistol braces are actually stocks and thus any attaching of a pistol brace is making an SBR.

You really have to ask why Conservatives have guns? Because Liberals block freeways, burn cities, throw Molotov cocktails, loot, turn over cop cars, and think this behavior is Socially Acceptable.

As someone who thinks most NFA items should NOT be regulated, i.e. SBR's and Suppressors, I think prior letter was bull crap and this just gets us back to 'even'.
Ultimately, I want to see this administration move decisively on both suppressors and SBR's.
The ATF thinking more in line with current day American gun culture is long overdue.

So it's ok as long as it's not fully extended? I have no interest in them, just curious

Yeah.
To restate it: attaching an item to a pistol that can objectively serve the purpose of allowing a firearm to be shouldered is making an SBR. You can no longer claim that you intended it to be a wrist support at time of attaching the brace or that it came with a pistol brace from the factory. Neither of those matter anymore. You can objectively look at most, if not all, pistol braces and come to the conclusion that it can serve the purpose of allowing a firearm to be shouldered. Thus it's an SBR.
What the letter does say is that after making/designing a firearm (attaching/removing things from it), the method of employment does not constitute another "making"/"design". That's good and logical. But everyone needs to read that last full paragraph again.
Edit: The specific pistol brace submitted by SB Tactical and referred to in the letter seems to have been deemed not a stock because it is both not intended to be a stock and cannot be used comfortably as a stock. Which brings up the point, if a pistol brace can be used comfortably as a stock, you might need an ATF letter to be sure it's legal.

This^^^
I own both a registered SBR as well as an AR pistol with Shockwave Blade brace, and I like having the legal option of the pistol brace in today's NFA climate, so it's nice to see them clarifying this, but the NFA is BS and SBRs and suppressors need to be taken off the NFA list.
Now acceptable to shoulder the brace.
