You possessing a short barrel anything without an SBR or legal pistol receiver in your collection is enough to get you in hot water. Much like buying a stock or vertical grip when all your other arms are short barreled pistols. The order of acquisition matters. Or at least it did.

I’ve stayed out of the pistol brace arena of mods as I never liked the direction it was going. They are almost always used as a stock and now they are even adjustable in length. No wonder the BATF is looking at this abuse of their original intent. I just see it as a “matter of time” issue that will result in a ban due to stretching the boundaries so wide that these devices are really no different than a stock.

Still lots of advantages with a pistol AR. Might be having one in the collection.

So, if someone removes the stock on a JTS 12 gauge shotgun and installs a folding stock, is that now questionable weapon?

Why do we still have Short Barreled Rifles (SBR) as an NFA weapon at all anymore? The whole logic of making these weapons illegal without being licensed is spurious because 1. Having a shorter barrel only marginally makes a weapon more concealable and 2. The reduced barrel length increases noise and flash and reduces velocity and energy and accuracy in all rifles.

It's not like Bonnie and Clyde are using them to rob banks anymore..

Good thing it’s just “parts” and if I pay cash and don’t tell anyone and don’t keep it at home...

Or, being me, I don’t want or have one, but just want YOU to be able to if YOU want...

...I got no problems.
