Hi all, Just needed to share my disappointment with the events of today. I recently purchased a Scorpion EVO and KAK Shockwave Blade. I spent an incredible number of hours researching the ATF ruling about arm braces and their use with pistols. Based on that research I was fairly confident that as long as I didn't shoulder the weapon I wasn't in violation of the law. i.e. - it is absolutely acceptable to use a cheek weld with the KAK Blade. Well today, I took my Scorpion with the Blade on it to a range that recently opened in my area. As soon as I pulled the Scorpion out of my bag a range safety officer approached me and asked if I had the appropriate paperwork for an SBR. I told him I did not and my understanding of the ATF's position was that I didn't need it as long as I didn't shoulder the weapon. He said fine, but he wanted to check with the range master. The range master came over and told me I was in violation of federal law. I repeated my understanding of the ATF ruling but did not argue at all. I immediately put my gun back and my bag and left. I should point out no one was nasty or mean or anything approaching it. They were very professional and respectful the entire time. I'm just disappointed and confused. I have never committed a crime and the last thing I want to do is have my freedom taken from me. I'm going to go ahead and get the paperwork done so I don't have anything to worry about, but this whole mess created by the Feds is so bad. G View Quote just tell us what range man, I wanna know |

You took a gun that's classified as a pistol and made it look like a shoulder fired weapon and wonder why they had a problem.
Those blades look stupid and are worthless. I have a 10.3" 300BLK set up as a pistol with a Phase 5 tube. When I have a spare 200 I will get a stamp for it along with a real stock. Don't need any misunderstandings over a $50 piece of plastic that looks crappy anyway. |

New range opened a couple miles away a few months back. In the city, rifle allowed, this was awesome even if it is a 25 yard range. No other place in the city shoots rifle. I go with my MPX and can to check it out. R/O asks to see my paper for my can, I ask why and he says it is the law Yep, it is now a law to show short, fat mouth breathers NFA paper work. lol, he was not a dick about it but I was annoyed to say the least and don't plan on going back and have steered my friends away from the place. Oh, and he never asked about the SBR So, a can that is clearly store bought seemed to be possibly purchased illegally (that they sell as well so even if he doesn't personally handle the sale should have an idea of how they are regulated up the a$$) to him but my SBR that anyone could create with a hacksaw or by purchasing a stock was not a concern Shameless brag photo: <a href="http://s1166.photobucket.com/user/Johnharden810/media/AB40AD6F-AA54-4C98-AA80-78C72D8CA17D.png_zpspocwe134.jpeg.html" target="_blank">http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q613/Johnharden810/AB40AD6F-AA54-4C98-AA80-78C72D8CA17D.png_zpspocwe134.jpeg</a> View Quote |

And a pistol is generally going to be covered w/ a carry permit as a pistol, while a rifle in a vehicle can have other issues. There are good reasons to have a short car gun as a pistol instead of a rifle. |

I'm Pro 2a just like everyone else and own dozens of NFA goodies..... At the same time, you do not have a RIGHT to shoot at a private range. It's a business and he can deny someone access if necessary. And like ANY other business, if you do not like their service or rules, you do not have to spend your money there. Is it a hassle that it happened? Absolutely. Should the owner be educated? Sure (though the whole "brace" is a VERY GRAY area I personally would avoid also). But does he HAVE to bend over backwards b/c you said "NO, this suspicious looking firearm is indeed a pistol b/c so and so said so. Don't mind the resemblance to a started short barreled AR15".

The brace is NOT a gray area at fucking all! Its ATF approved just like your NFA goodies. If you're going to use that bs argument, then your NFA stuff is also a gray area because it's on a trust, right? And it's on a trust because s lot of POS sheriffs won't sign off on them, right? So your NFA stuff is gray too because you went around the sheriff. And, "so and so", being the ATF, did say they're pistols. OP just didn't have his paperwork. It's no different then if you didn't have your stamps with your NFA stuff when they asked, none at all....If they really thought it was illegal they would have called the cops, don't you think? So yeah, we all need to educate the people that dont know. Otherwise the time when we can't enjoy our hobby any more without jumping through hoops will come sooner then you think. |

Quoted: I don't get the utility of that 'blade' unit. Seems like a pistol tube with a foam sleeve has the same utility without risking being found in violation of a SBR law by being 'shoulderable'. At least the Sig Brace is shaped to fit over one's arm. That thing looks just like stock to me...without being shaped to fit over the arm...and it's adjustable for length of pull. Knowing the ATF's proclivity for making shit up as they go along, (think shoelace), I don't believe I'd want to tempt fate. YMMV. View Quote |

Honesly, owning machine guns are fun, but I rarely shoot it b/c there's no where near by that will let me, and also I don't have the luxury of owning acres of land. |
