"...therefore use as a shoulder stock constitutes a “redesign” of the device because a possessor has changed the very function of the item."

I assume this letter also means one can no longer place the bare buffer tube against one's shoulder, as this is "redesigning" a weapon not originally designed to be fired from the shoulder.

If this is allowed to stand, the ATF can determine tomorrow that the act of grasping a pistol with both hands constitutes the creation of an AOW. And no, I'm not making use of hyperbole here.

Using a *bit* of hyperbole, firing a rifle with one hand now constitutes the creation of handgun from a rifle--another NFA no-no.

I honestly don't care about the fate of the brace, but I sincerely hope SIG files for an injunction to have this opinion reversed. Enough is enough.

I'm especially disturbed by those all over the Interwebs who fault the Bubbas who "flaunted" this loophole--which wasn't a loophole at all, but rather an example of the utter stupidity of the 1934 GCA.

Little history lesson: the only reason SBRs and SBSs are regulated by the NFA is because the *original* intent was to get rid of handguns by making ownership prohibitively expensive. Concealable rifles and shotguns were included to prevent people from making their own handguns. When it was realized the act wouldn't pass if handguns were included they were removed, but the SBRs and SBSs weren't.

Those chiding others for not being good little sheep and lining up to pay their tribute should be ashamed of themselves.

Frailer wrote:It is fun. The chassis is a new product from a vendor called Kit Fox Defense. He works with a local machine shop that produces them in relatively small quantities. This is the latest iteration, and it works well. I'd prefer to fit it with an Ergo grip like my ARs and AR-like guns wear, but the current design won't easily accommodate a beaver tail.

The chassis comes with an end cap that screws into the receiver extension threads if you prefer a more traditional pistol configuration, but it would be front heavy. The buffer tube and brace make it much easier to fire one-handed.
