Shit gets fuzzy with the "intent to construct". Basically having a extra carbine buttstock on the shelf and a pistol with carbine buffer tube can be illegal. Some guys wrap them with 550 cord but I think buying a pistol tube is safe and easy.

Thanks. That's what my thoughts were, but I just wasn't sure if I was overthinking it. I just read the same question here, and I understand what they are saying as well. I'll have to think that one through before I decide what to do.

I started of with a pistol tube, but after reading ATF rulings about buffer tubes, I changed to an A2 tube. much better for shooting while a pistol, I don't have any stocks that fit and A2 tube.

It is only illegal if you have a stock and don't have another AR that it could be legally used on.

First post didn't nail it.
It's not illegal to have a pistol you could put a stock on, it's illegal to put a stock on it. Unless your making it into a rifle, then it's OK (In which case you can make it back into a pistol). It's not even fuzzy or gray, but it is complicated. You can use a standard receiver extension, but don't put a stock on it. |

Will a sig arm brace fit on a standard car tube?

Thanks, guys, that clears it up, and saves me a little money. I'll just store my extra stocks at my dad's until the stamp comes through.
