My dislike of the current pistol brace craze everyone seems to be getting into.
Before you comment be aware that I have more tax stamps than most and would welcome the end of the ATF and NFA as much as anyone else does. |

View Quote You forgot to add the awesome pics of said rifles! Elitist, snob......... Just kidding! I just like to drool over that pic. |

I wouldn't say it's what you think of the Sig Brace. But what you own and how you post your stuff here. People are silly. It seems you're squared away, you shouldn't worry what they think. Just my two cents.

I'm gonna bet it isn't the opinion you share that is the problem but rather the manner in which you share it.

I dont blame you.
However i do have one of those new folding braces for my sp5k. It looks good other than the velcro, feels solid and gives a very nice cheek weld. I may sbr it one day just to use a vfg, but in its current config i like it a lot. |

At first, I thought BATFE would clamp down on it, but that ship has sailed and the ruling won't be reversed. I don't use them only because I
want specific stocks for my SBR's. If that's not an issue, it's a great way to have an "SBR", whether you're waiting on a stamp or not. |
|
The brace, as designed for not going to the shoulder, is 100% COMPLETELY retarded. The brace, when used to shoulder just as you would a normal stock, is just a stock. So yes, if you intend on not shouldering it, it is 100% COMPLETELY retarded.
I think bump firing/slid stock things are even more dumb. |

I don't like them, and I don't care whether someone else likes them, or not.

I have a few stamped items and one "pistol brace" 300. Just don't used the "pistol braced" weapon in an inappropriate fashion in a public setting. No more problems.

This thread was started after a local guy asked me why I spend the time and money to SBR my firearms when I could just buy an arm brace, then proceeded to tell me I was an idiot. I told him my thoughts, he turned really red, said a few words and stormed off. It was a weird afternoon. |

I have 2 and considered them a poor man's SBR. I haven't taken them for a walk in over a year. What is the current status of shouldering a brace with the ATF?

The only bummer is I can have a Shockwave brace in a couple days...
Been waiting on 3 form 1s for 7 months. I only have 1 pistol with brace. It's a beater and ugly as f#ck. |

View Quote I personally don't do it if I am shooting at a public range, just fold it away and avoid the busy bodies. Hell, it's a 9mm and the platform is still fun to shoot and very controllable in that configuration. |

Some people aren't as eager as you to sign up on a gun registry.

I have seen it before. Someone will challenge your statement of the number of stamps you own and you will post the pic to prove you own them. No big deal. I like the pic. Never said I had the most and that isn't the point of the thread. I said I had "more than most". Your wording was never called into question. I know what you meant. I just said they will challenge the number you say own. As you can see from above, I am not the only member who felt this way. |

View Quote The only reasons to complain about other people using pistol braces are elitism and snobbery. I'm also sitting on a pile of stamps. |

I have no use for a short barreled rifle, or a rifle caliber handgun.

The nice thing about braces is you can own your SBR in pistol form and it's still somewhat useful while you wait for your SBR stamp.

I just got a shockwave for my AR pistol and I love it! It doesn't really give me a better cheekweld than just a tube but atleast it looks 100 times cooler than just a tube sticking out the back.
Eventually I want to SBR my AR pistol but I'm moving out of state in 6+/- months and probably moving again 6 months after that. Once I finally settle down somewhere I'll send out forms but I don't want to deal with changing addresses and shit. Considering even the post office fucks it up I don't want to risk it with a NFA item. |

I haven't seen the pic of all your stamped guns so go ahead, post it.
I need something to aspire too, I'm just an amateur with 10 stamps in hand and 4 in process. |
|
I'm with you OP. Why spend $150 on an ugly non adjustable arm brace when you could spend a little more and have a useable firearm with the correct stock on it.

View Quote That's just full blown retard. I love the bumpfire threads, but anyone saying anything other than "machine guns are awesome" is not a person I'd like to talk to. Even a few of my non gun nut friends get it. "Whiskers, why haven't you bought a machine gun yet?" F him. MGs for the win. |

I'm thinking you would be better equipped to handle the second part of your comment. View Quote Think what you want, I have a safe full of guns that I'm not paying $200 to tell the govt about. Pistols serve a good purpose. Not everyone buys from stores, and not everyone is eager to sign up for a registry. There are other ways to legally own fun toys. |
|
For me it's not so much the money. It's the hoops I have to jump through to get permission for a "stock" on my firearm. It's retarded.
