Default If you have an AR pistol or >26” “firearm” read this ATF determination

https://blog.princelaw.com/2019/07/0...ilizing-brace/

Some people build AR pistols, then modify them to “firearm” and non-pistol status by increasing overall length beyond 26 inches, and then add a vertical foregrip. This new measurement determination could throw many of these builds into AOW status.

Hmm I know a lot of you tube flyboys that might be needing to make adjustments from their 11" AR pistols with braces.

ATF has taken the position that once a vertical foregrip has been added to a firearm, it is no longer designed to be fired when held in one hand, removing it from the definition of a pistol, even though ATF previously lost this argument before the Ninth Circuit in U.S. v. Fix, 4 Fed. Appx. 324 (9th Cir. 2001).

ATF can say all they want. But it only matters when they can successfully and consistently prosecute people for those “violations”

My advice is what ever you do. NEVER post any photo of your modified firearm online, legal or not.

When I first started shooting combat matches, there was a guy that had a gun like that, but the forward grip was welded onto the front of the trigger guard. But that was long before ATF was reclassifying everything under the sun.

That letter is consistent with what they were saying in 2018.

In 02-2018, BATFE determined the method to measuring overall length to determine if a firearm is a Title 1 Handgun, Title 1 Other, or Title 2 AOW as the following:
1. Firearm is measured in the shortest possible firing configuration (arm stablizing brace is removed or folded/collapsed if it permanently attached).

Per BATFE...
Since the firearm is not intended to be fired from the shoulder, the arm stablizing brace can not be included in measuring overall length to determine what type of non-rifle/shotgun firearm it is.

This all stems from a FFL being busted by the BATFE for making & transferring illegal Title 2 AOW.
The FFL was making & selling the firearms as Title 1 Other (less than 16" barrel length, vertical forward grip, arm stablizing brace) because with the arm stablizing brace extended the firearms had an overall length that was greater than 26".
However, with the arm stablizing brace removed or collapsed/folded (for those that were permanently attached), the firearms overall length was less than 26". This caused the BATFE to consider the firearms to be Title 2 AOW, not Title 1 Other.

So on an AR pistol with standard receiver extension that is required for the operation of the firearm - include it in the overall measurement.

On a firearm equipped with a brace that is not required for the operation of the firearm - measure from the shortest/folded position or removed.

I’m pretty sure it’s over 26 inches even without the brace. So I think it’s still OK

seems logical to me i guess its just a folding stock rifle measurement counted as the stock in the extended position is the illogical stance

Whoa-you scared me there for second posting this!

But nothing is actually changing from what I have been researching the last couple months.

But it’s good to have actual confirmation. Glad you posted this.

“Based on this letter, it is safe to say that ATF is taking the position that firearms equipped with stabilizing braces need to have their overall length measured with the brace folded or to the end of the receiver extension if the brace is stationary and non-adjustable. Adding a vertical foregrip to a firearm that has an overall length of less than 26 inches results in the making of an AOW, which is subject to the National Firearms Act.”

So if you DON’T have a law or similar brand folder that your brace is mounted on- measure from the back of receiver extension to tip of barrel or permanently mounted muzzle device.

If you DO have your brace mounted on a folder, fold it and measure from the back of the folded gun to tip of barrel or permanently mounted muzzle device.

This will determine if you are at the 26 inches or longer so you can legally mount your forward pistol grip without triggering AOW status.

Maybe I misunderstood but I interpreted it as at pistol w law folder would still be measured to end of extension (not folded); as it is not designed to be fired when folded.

And obviously even without folding, many AR pistols are less than 26” if you exclude the brace and muzzle device.

Other pistols such as MPX, Mp5, and Draco’s that can be fired without brace extended are measured only to but end of receiver.

Seems you are right about what it says in black and whitel I suppose I read into it what I believed to be true. But I am still surprised the ATF is not going to include the a folding, but "integral for function", AR pistol buffer extension in the OAL, especially when it is not able to function as designed when folded.

Saw something about concealability in the letter vs functionality as their reasoning to measure folded vs open

Just make sure everything you own has straight "non-rifling" rifling, and you can do anything you want......until the rules change again.

http://www.reformationfirearms.com/services.html

POINT 1: The Reformation® line of firearms features Franklin Armory®’s Reformation® barrel technology. Since the barrel does not impart spin on the projectile, it does not meet the definition of “rifling.”

POINT 2: Franklin Armory® has engineered fin and flare stabilized projectiles and ammunition for sub MOA performance in Reformation® barrels. (Ammunition release date is still to be determined.)

POINT 3: Franklin Armory® has safely tested off the shelf ammunition in a Reformation® barrel and routinely achieved 3.5" @100 yards with white box ammunition.

ATF Firearms Technology - Industry Services Branch classified Reformation® as a non-rifle, non-shotgun in August of 2017. Upon examination of a 7.5" barreled Reformation® variant with a forward vertical grip in November of 2018, ATF again concluded that Reformation® is not a firearm regulated under the National Firearms Act. (More details available on our FAQ page.)



Here are the benefits:
No NFA!
Short Barreled!
Shoulder stocked!
Legal with a Forward Vertical Grip!
Not an NFA SBR!
Not an NFA SBS!
Not an NFA AOW!
No Tax Stamp!


I can just imagine getting pulled over by Officer Bubba Backwoods from the Podunk PD, and trying to explain to him that it's not an illegal weapon because the rifling has a 0:12 twist rate......

This will either help with the repeal of the NFA, or cause yet another round of additional laws, regs, and restrictions - anyone care to take bets on which one it will be? (!(

Yes that is what I am talking about.

But I a curious what were the guns involved in the case that resulted in this new determination/clarification from the atf?

I had always assumed that adding the vertical foregrip was instant AOW territory. Wasn't that why the angled foregrips are used on AR pistols?

I went to the ATF letter. Link is in here:

https://blog.princelaw.com/2019/07/0...ilizing-brace/

In effect, the definition of a rifle requires shooting it from the shoulder. Therefor a folding shoulder stock must be used and to be used it must be in the "unfolded" position. Hence measuring in the unfolded position, not closed. The same can't be said for a "stabilizing brace" as they are designed to be fired NOT from the shoulder.

I would expect this foolishness to be addressed by manufacturers coming up with "shoulder stocks" that look quite a bit like a stabilizing brace. To tell the truth, until I read this it hadn't occurred to me to use a brace with folder or a collapsible type in place of a folding stock. Now that I have - I think I'd like to give it a try, assuming someone makes one.

As an aside, when one reads these ATF letters and the language used it is chilling to realize that a few words can determine the difference between "no big deal" and prohibited. That entirely unrelated matters, such as the definition of a rifle established so long ago, can become mired in an unrelated and recent issue such as a pistol brace. And we have virtually no recourse, it's mostly bureaucratic fiat.

So for clarity this affects folks with rifles and stabilizers and not pistols with braces correct?
Basically folks were getting away with a rifle as short as possible with the stabilizer.

The author of that article does not understand the new ATF letter. It does not treat braces as stocks or force AR pistol owners to register them as SBRs. It clarifies the measurements for whether a gun is a non-pistol “firearm” which can have a front vertical grip without being a federal AOW or whether it is a pistol with a front vertical grip which requires an AOW stamp.
