The pistol stabilizing brace was neither “designed” nor approved to be used as a shoulder stock, and therefore use as a shoulder stock constitutes a “redesign” of the device because a possessor has changed the very function of the item. Any individual letters stating otherwise are contrary to the plain language of the NFA, misapply Federal law, and are hereby revoked. Any person who intends to use a handgun stabilizing brace as a shoulder stock on a pistol (having a rifled barrel under 16 inches in length or a smooth bore firearm with a barrel under 18 inches in length) must first file an ATF Form 1 and pay the applicable tax because the resulting firearm will be subject to all provisions of the NFA. SHHHHH no more poking the bear...probably just wanted to avoid another suit with SIG...but thanks to pushing and doubtful due to design intent of one handed, they will not be going to court on this one Also if it is good news for SHOT announcement, hopefully every Tom, Dick & Harry FFL Type 7 SOT will stop being ASKholes about this since they are going to tell us whats up with eFile.
