ATF weights in again on length of Pistol & brace

[platoonDaddy]

DISREGARD THE FOLLOWING. I had my head up my ass & misread. Bitch getting old!


friggin ATF, Springfield Armory (assume others) Saint Edge is 24 1/2", resulting in thousands of law abiding citizens in harms WAY!

What does this mean for gun owners? Measure your AR pistol without the brace installed. If its total length 26 inches long or longer, enjoy a forward pistol grip if you like. (For the sake of measuring firearms, buffer tubes count as integral gun parts.) If it’s under 26 inches long, that means you’re stuck using angled grips, or bipods, or lanyards…just not vertical foregrips.

I thought that was pretty always the case, the way I understood it.

Yep nothing new here.

All that has changed is measuring with stock folded, if you have that feature.

Chatter in another thread here said AFGs may also be off-limits too per new ATF rules relayed to SBTactical. I’ve seen no verification of that other than the mention.

March 21, 2017, ATF clarified their ruling. Following ATF's 2017 letter, many manufactures started shipping pistols with length of 24.5" and added a multiple position brace. Based on the article in Guns America, they are now illegal.

Dont see how they are illegal. Just don't put a vertical foregrip on it .

The Springfield Saint Edge Pistol is shipped with a Maxim Defense CQB, Adjustable 4-Positions forearm brace The Edge is 24.6" without the forearm brace. Therefore Springfield is shipping a vertical forearm brace that is now considered illegal by ATF.

No they aren't. You just can't put a vert grip on one because it's shorter than 26"

ATF is not referring to that, they say you cant use that for the measurement.

But only make it illegal if you put a FRONT vertical grip on the hand gaurd if under 26"

Their letter has nothing to do with the use of the brace.
