Quoted:
11.5" AR Pistol with a vertical foregrip and Sba3. No folding brace.
I believe this is well outside the 26" OAL limit?
My notions on legality are referenced in the below thread.

I noticed the facebook page referenced in that thread is no longer available. Thanks for any info.

Are you asking because you haven't built it yet? Because if you have built it, measure it. Based on the ATF data already out there, and that Connecticut shop raid, non-folders get measured from threads (or end of MD if pinned/welded) to end of Brace fully extended. Based on my 11.3" with Aero Lower/Upper, BA Hanson, and SBA3 w/ Supplied Tube - *fully extended* is over 26", yes. Collapsed, is not (it's like 25 and 7/8). I mean, if you haven't built yet, 1" is nothing (and better in terms of 5.56) - just use a 12.x" barrel for extra margin?
