Not even sure removing them works: once attached, it may magically become a short-barreled rifle forever, just like an AR lower once designated a pistol is forever a pistol.

Not even sure removing them works: once attached, it may magically become a short-barreled rifle forever, just like an AR lower once designated a pistol is forever a pistol.

It's all in the published rule. The rule has been out for two weeks, we've just been waiting for it to be published in the Federal Register to know when the clock starts.

You have 120 days from today to either fill out a special Form 1 to register your braced pistol(s) as Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs,) and the ATF will waive the $200 tax, or to remove the brace and alter the weapon so the brace cannot be reattached (usually by replacing a carbine buffer tube with a pistol buffer tube on an AR style pistol.)

I'd do nothing yet, because now that the rule has been published, the lawsuits and preliminary injunction requests can now be filed.

I' was incorrect: the FR claims if you remove the items during the grace period, it's not an SBR any longer.

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.
