I started putting an AR pistol with Sig brace together a few months back with the understanding that it was, indeed, an AR pistol. Now with all the letters floating around about intent, barrel length, and overall length, I am damn confused. Here is what I have:
11.5" barrel
Pistol buffer tube (lower was sold & invoiced as a pistol lower)
Unpinned flash hider
Sig SB15 brace
AOL from end of flash hider to end of buffer tube 27.5"
AOL from end of barrel to end of buffer tube 26.25"
Note, I do not want to be the "poster boy" that challenges BATF in court. So, when I take this to the range, what are my shooting options and do I now need to get a tax stamp to shoot it?
As a side note, I was showing it to my son-in-law, who is a deputy sheriff, and the first thing he did was shoulder it and say how great it balanced. Wants me to let him know when I head to the range. I'm thinking about letting him shoot it for awhile and see what happens, LOL.
