“apply for the ATF tax stamp, surrender the “SBR” to the ATF or destroy the firearm.”
You left out the easiest solution, remove and get rid of the brace. You’ll be left with a legal pistol.
The correct solution is to repeal the NFA, but that’s not happening given the current senate and president.
Are the pistol braces illegal to own regardless of whether they are on a gun or not?
IMO, the ‘brace’ thing was doomed from the start because it was a way to get something that acts like a shoulder stock to go on a short barrel ‘pistol’ making it a short barreled rifle without a stamp.
You purists out there can carp and whine all you want but I doubt any of you would use that ‘brace’ to brace a ‘pistol’ against your forearm instead of your shoulder, especially when many of the ‘braces’ can be extended to fit your shoulder. Flame away.
