Intent.  Braces aren't intended to be fired from the shoulder.  If you put a brave on a pistol with the intent of firing it from the shoulder you've created an SBR.  If you happen to shoulder your braced pistol, you're golden.

I’m burned out then. I’ve got no other ideas. I was going off the idea that when you buy a receiver it can be an any other firearm. Then it wouldn’t be a rifle or pistol and if it’s 26 inch overall length it wouldn’t be an AOW. Just my guess. And the fact that you can shoulder braces then maybe that’s the loophole. I give up.

It has a smooth bore, oval bore, release only trigger, barrel part of the receiver, telescoping rifled muzzle brake, telescoping telescoping buffer tube stock that's also pinned, shoots 2 bullets at a time when pulled, requires 2 pulls to fire once, muzzle loads.  what else????????  Gonna be one hell of a special weird ass gun that nobody would possibly buy!!!!

"And" in this usage means the both the firearms would meet the definition. "Or" would mean only one "or" the other but not both.
The definition is describing this and this not this or this. In the first example ANY rifle with a barrel or barrels less than 16" meets the definition. In the second example any weapon made from a rifle meets the definition only if it is not shoulder fired (that would be rifle so it must have a 16" or greater barrel) and in less than 26" in overall length. This would be arguable that you can take a rifle and cut off the stock, or put a pistol grip on it and cut the barrel to less than 16" provided it remains 26" or greater in OAL it would not be a NFA firearm.

Another example that would apply as an SBR would be a bullpup that is less that 26" OAL but still had a barrel 16" or greater.

That is literally the exact same thing I said.

People seem to question how in the world could a rifle could have a barrel greater than 16" but still be less than 26" OAL to still be classified as an SBR. I was merely pointing out that a bullpup could easily be designed to still be an SBR even with a 16" barrel.

Maybe it's happened in specific cases where the ATF has railroaded someone, but I agree that it's generally considered OAL includes the fully extended stock. AK's with folding stocks, M1A1 paratroopers, Uzi carbines, and others are under 26" with the stocks folded. I can't see the ATF letting all those go by as unregistered SBR's if they are measuring with the stocks collapsed.

I hate the special ammo idea.  Very people would buy it if they had to buy special ammo that didn't work with their arsenal of ARs.

Besides, who wants an AR that sounds like "SPIW SPIW SPIW" when they shoot it.

Is this going to be a pin and welded barrel extension, like the Larue SURG surly not a first but would pass NFA and be a SBR like appearance.

The picture in their press release the pic is of their current Libertas sbr so it has me thinking the Restoration might look much differently and all the speculation is based on a invalid photo.

Maybe they just ship it with a certificate stating that the employee who assembled it intended for it to be fired with one hand.

After all, the intent during design and construction is the only thing that keeps a pistol with a brace from being an SBR

Have we done this one?

ATF definitions in shorthand:
shotgun: shoulder fired and uses shotgun shell and smooth bore and fires (shot or single projectile) for each single pull
rifle: shoulder fired and single projectile through rifled bore for each single pull
sbr: rifle < 16" or made from a rifle with oal < 26 or barrel(s) < 16
sbs: shotgun < 18" or made from a shotgun with oal < 26" or barrel(s) < 18"
aow: capable of being concealed on the person or (smooth bore pistol and shot shell) or combo shotgun / rifle 12" - 18".  Does not include rifled pistol

Not a smooth bore = not a shotgun
Fires shot shells = not a rifle
Not a rifle = not an SBR
Not a shotgun = not an SBS
26" = not an AOW

It's a .410.  Possibly capable of but not designed to fire some flavor of .45?

This is true. It could be something they did to that Libertas SBR, or it could be that they are using that rifle as a place holder, which means this thread is 20 pages of useless conjecture based off of wrong information...

Mine runs perfect, after shimming the extractor (not a Franklin issue, as they get their bolts from Bushmaster).

Also, magazine selection is very important with the .450BM. ACS 5rd mags are all I use.

I like your idea the best.

Second would be the one that the SL stock has a strap on it and is considered a brace.

I will have zero interest in this if it is only applicable to this specific firearm that they’ll probably want $1800-2000 for. And I fully expect to be disappointed.
