AR Pistol Brace = SBR with new ATF rules :(

That’s not exactly true. As someone that has multiple SBRs let me add a little info…

Yes, how it is registered is how it is supposed to stay. Meaning I’d your configuration is a 6” barrel with a OAL of 23” then that is what you’re stuck with UNLESS you send them a signed letter asking for modification of your Form 1 to include additional configurations.

As an example, I have an AR with two configurations. One is a 4” with a 21” OAL. The second configuration is an 8” with a 25” OAL. As you are filing a Form 1 for the pistol for entry into the registry as an SBR the same rules applies. So modification of your configuration should be straightforward.

I don't care, do as you want.
The rules now seem fluid and are pretty much changing daily.
As far as I know a Stock on a SBR is still $200.00 even with the "free" brace stamp.
The government can get away with "bait and switch", but can you?
It should be interesting to see.
Personally, I am not quite that adventurous.

This ground has been plowed. If you file an application to convert a braced pistol to an SBR under the “amnesty” program you will use the filing receipt as a temporary stamp for as long as the review takes. However, you can’t switch out the brace for a stock until the application is approved and the stamp delivered. This was updated in the FAQ last week.
