good info, thanks
Here’s an easy solution; Don’t buy an AR pistol. Use an AR as it was intended, as a rifle! Then buy a pistol and use it as a pistol. Seems simple to me.
latest development: Mr Wright won the case.The ATF claimed that the length of pull should be less than 13.5 inches. But the way ATF measured the stock even with the cane cap was wrong. At tghe end of the day, ATF just made a fool of themselves.
Came across this article.

The jury said not guilty. Precedent has set. ATF opinions mean nothing.
The man was found innocent because the ATF measured the length of pull incorrectly.
Just remember that this coming Tuesday is Election Day and if the Democrats win enough seats to take over the Senate and House, you can expect Gun Control Bills to come flooding in. And, they can and probably will override Trumps Veto on them.
Yep plenty of of brace options; which the ATF has approved, on the market that you can find one that works best for you. I have seen videos of guys who had added cheek risers to their shockewaves, by the letter of the law this is an illegal modification. I doubt you would go-to jail. But you would spend a lot of money on legal fees and most likely become a prohibited person.
Not enough clarity on these braces, I was under the impression the ATF sent out a letter stated it was ok to shoulder these braces as long as the brace was not modified in any way
so many dam regulations.
Thanks for doing more for our citizens than so-called big brother.Much respect
ATF agents need to be shot in self-defense you want to infringe on people's rights you should be shot on sight simple as that

These are charges brought on by first committing other crimes imo. Police and DA's will sometimes throw everything against the wall
Did they kill his wife and dog?
Sporadically?!?
That’s why I paid the tax stamp and have a registered SBR, because I don’t want to deal with constantly changing ATF opinions and the harassment overzealous cops.
You are so right the whole modifying or changing any product that is specifically labeled as a pistol brace is a slippery slope. The ATF is clear on that, it's just like these people who make homemade silencers from solvent traps or modifying a fake suppressor don't do it with out the proper paperwork there are forms you can fill out so you can buy or make your own SBRs or suppressors. When people modify these things it just puts those things in jeopardy of being banned from our use.
What kind of ass hole LEO would arrest a law a abiding citizen for using a pistol brace. Hope he rots in hell.

The ATF lost the case, big time.
I have a solution to this. All gun owners move to CO, shoot out in the woods on public land where it is perfectly legal but nobody can see what you're doing, and as a bonus we have just basically insured a lasting pro-gun state (most of the hippies will move out once they realize they have no political chance of getting the commie state they wanted.)
Here's a better discussion petition the repeal of the NFA
Just an update: It was overturned, he is free. This was a monumental victory because we have a Court of Law with jury that can be used for future cases. That means no matter what opinion letter comes out, the ATF can never tell us what to do with our pistol braces.
