Bumpstocks, arm braces, angled foregrips and other accessories have received letters (sometimes contradictory) from ATF.

[Joe 6-pack]

What about shoulder things that go up?

[old-ager]

If there’s no determination, does that mean it’s ok?

[Uncle Miltie]

What do I win, Alex?

[The Toll]

We’ve overwhelmed them.

[Don W]

So if you want an accessory rated/classified, you have to provide a firearm with it installed?

Trying to kill off the small manufacturers with ridiculous qualification requirements.

ATF should be a convenience store...

[The Toll]

UTG > ATF

[suthener]

And if they say it’s not approved you have just manufactured an unregistered firearm and provided them indisputable evidence.

[The Pack Knight]

Sounds like the ATF is overwhelmed by the burgeoning AR pistol market.

Maybe this will prompt the ATF to recommend (to the extent they can) that Congress do away with the silly, arbitrary restriction of SBRs.

[DesertRhino]

No law allows this. It is a whim by executive order.

Our next democrat president will be a rabid radical out for revenge on the Trump years. They will write an EO “deeming” Ar-15 and AK pattern rifles to be NFA items requiring the full NFA process.

Who would stop them?

[Reno89519]

So who does this really affect? Is this necessary step or simply obstructionism?

[ctdonath2]

“Effective immediately, any requests for a determination on how an accessory affects the classification of a firearm under the GCA or NFA must include a firearm with the accessory already installed.”

Oh, the unintended consequences.
Create new accessory of unknown classification.
Assemble for use.
Submit for classification.
BATFE classifies as NFA item.
BATFE presses charges for illegal manufacture of prohibited/illegal item.
Case appealed.
SCOTUS overturns NFA or 922(o).
