[Yo-Yo]

I looked at the Form 4999. There's a long list of characteristics and if you get only 4 points out of about 40 max, it's an SBR. Ludicrous.

DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION: The ATF final rule does not use that proposed ATF Form 4999, so there is no 'point' system! If it has a brace, it is an SBR, even though they say they're not outlawing braces or the use of braces.

If it has surface area that can rest on the shoulder, it is an SBR. If the braced pistol has a scope with short eye relief such that you cannot use it at arm's length, it is an SBR.

Just about ANY PISTOL with a brace is now considered an SBR, so your only two choices (barring any legal actin) is to permanently remove the brace and modify the pistol such that the brace cannot be reattached, or register it as an NFA Short Barrel Rifle, and the ATF will waive the $200 "tax" during the 120 day amnesty period.

So, if a friend has a Thomson/Contender pistol.

And a long barrel.

And a shoulder stock.

Not assembled.

What trouble is he in?

Or what to do to stay out of trouble?

What if you have a brace that’s sitting in a box and never been mounted on any receiver? Is it legal, all by itself, or are they illegal to own, period? Or only illegal if you have an AR, even if never taken out of its (brace’s) package?

God I despise F-Troop.
