Featureless Accessory Legality

[Thordo]

Keep in mind that the ATFE was very clear about the fact that the letter we have only applies to our particular grip. They may not support you if you went to court using our letter to justify another grip.

Secondly, for anyone considering these products in CA, the letter from ATFE only covers the ATFE's classification of an AR pistol with the grip mounted, and does not necessarily affect what CA may or may not consider legal. Please check carefully with a legal expert in CA to ensure that anything you do is legal at the state level.

Finally someone mentioned that there may be an issue in CA with extending a magwell? If this is the case, our grip could possibly be considered by CA to extend the magwell, since the bottom is flared for reloads. This may be something to check.

Just wanted to make this clear so that no one gets in trouble thinking that our letter covers them. I am not an expert on CA law, of course.

Agreed. We are very clear to point this out to our customers that ask about mounting your grip to a pistol or featureless rifle. It sucks that an opinion from the BATFE or even just plain common sense, that is generally accepted by the other 49 states, is a roll of the legal dice here in Cali.

I suppose I posted the BATFE letter to at least illustrate that developers and manufacturers are being proactive about making sure their products are safe and legal and was not meant to give the OP a definitive answer to his question. With California firearms laws there are no definitive answers.

Your grips are awesome and we sell a lot of them. We get a lot of inquiries about a grip for .308. Any chance that there's something in the works?
