I believe this rule basically eliminates EVERY brace used on short pistol caliber guns like all B&T, MP5s, MPXs, Scorpions, or Stribogs.
Better start making 16" barreled versions |

Quoted: That gun if this ruling become final and implemented will be an illegal SBR. Not only does it not meet the minimum weight threshold (64oz) to even be eligible to wear a pistol stabilizing brace as configured but it will lose even more weight when the accessory brace is removed in order to determine its official pistol brace weight eligibility. The brace installed is an SBA3 which under the current system is virtually impossible to pass the points test and would be considered a stock when installed on any pistol. View Quote An M&P 15-22 pistol will need to have weight added to it, but not in the form of a detachable accessory. You could conceivably attach a metal pistol grip and replace some of the polymer parts with steel or something. Or add a heavier muzzle device. If you could find a metal magazine that would be an option too, since weight is supposed to be taken with accessories removed and an unloaded magazine inserted. From there, remove the SBA3 and replace with an acceptable brace pinned to the max length that would net you 3 points or less. |

There's little need to continue dissecting this asinine collection of criteria and points.
This is a wholesale, shameless, big government attack on MILLIONS of currently law abiding Americans. It's an effort to force registration and/or to create criminals where none previously existed. This set of "rules" has clearly been written to exclude pretty much everything from being legal and to create an absolute Orwellian compliance and punishment system. It's a de facto BAN. That's what matters, not the fucking math around features and "points". |

I sold off my last three evil rifles that were 4473ed last Nov. One was a serialed AR pistol w/an 11.5" upper and an SBa3 to a friend. He will probably SBR it.
Post-election, I just knew in my heart this would happen. Because of that, I completed an 80% carbine last Dec and another 80% lower this past weekend. I had been toying with the idea of a .300 blackout pistol. I have long term C5 palsy and wonder if I'd make a good test specimen for this whole debacle. |

It could be argued that the one-handed rule is in direct conflict with the ATF`s own handgun training curriculum, which I`m sure is the same as most training methods, i.e. the firing hand is supported by the other hand for stability.

What if you remove the plug on the back of the sba3? Is that the "extra material" gone?

Quoted: Didn't SB Tactical publish a letter from the ATF telling them to stop submitting every variation of the basic brace concept? The original design was approved and the ATF didn't have time to look at every variation of the "2 flaps and a velcro strap" concept, therefore everything up through SBA3 and SBM4 has been sold in good faith as approved. And the Tailhook Mod1 and Mod2 have approval letters. And the Shockwave has an approval letter - without a strap. View Quote Yes, yes, yes and yes. Until someone changes their mind. |

The “checklist” is irrational and subjective. It will be fought, because it is OBVIOUS that it is about banning guns, and nothing else.
Why did the ‘94 AWB make adjustable stocks an “evil” feature? Because it allowed you to make the weapon SHORTER. Why does this proposed checklist make adjustable braces an “evil” feature? Because it allowed you to make the weapon LONGER. Pistol grips were considered “evil” because it allowed you to “fire from the hip” and “spray bullets.” |
