also says,at least how I read it
shoulder just the buffer tube and its also a sbr

However,if a pistol assembled with an AR-type buffer tube or similar component; which in tum, redesigns the subject AR-type pistol to be desigred or redesigned and consequently intended to be fired from the shoulder; an NFA weapon as defined in 26
U.S.C. $58a5(a)(3);has been made.

Pretty much they're saying that if you intentionally bring anything up to shoulder the AR pistol, whether it's a bare tube or some other device, you have an SBR.

that was the thordson saddle adapter thats sold with the caa saddle on it

I actually bought the thordson saddle adapter and they had listed the approval letter on there site saying its cool to use

but I never really read the letter, assumed it was like the old sig brace letter but now I may go see what it really said

basically if you use it to cheek rest its fine
unlike the sig brace that was mainly to brace your wrist

so the thordson may be better as it can already be against your cheek 1 inch away from shoulder and im sure if you snuck it closer no one would know

unless they get out a measuring device when your shooting how can they say its touching your shoulder

We should just overwhelm them with letters asking about shouldering various things attached to the buffer tube:










  • a maxi pad


  • small animals, such as Guinea Pigs


  • a shoe


  • a tub of Cool Whip


  • another pistol, pointing backwards.  Yo, dawg.


  • air


  • etc, etc




And then after we get replies, send back another letter for clarification on each of them, asking what happens if we shoulder them but didn't intend to do it.




Edited to remove profanity, though this was GD when I clicked on it.

Nobody needs to write more letters. Isn't that what got things to this point already?

If the makers want to got to court, they can try to get a judgment of declarative relief. It's the lawful way to take the ATF on with a judge to prove their actions are arbitrary and capricious. It's used as parts of the checks and balances with any regulating government agency.

Which is what the grown ups are likely going to do as it hurts their business they based on decisions already given. Getting all tweaked about it and whining isn't doing any good. Ask Thordsen, SB Tactical, SIG, and half dozen other companies who are introducing new guns and braces at SHOT right now this week at the show.

You think they are just going to roll over and walk away? They have money on the line and they're likely getting together - RIGHT NOW - in meetings. What may have been a preemptive strike by the ATF to slow down brace sales and get more stamp applications is quite possibly going to backfire.

There's a lot of posts about how they need to be taken to court - and it actually is that easy. It's been done before. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/01/foghorn/next-step-atf-pistol-arm-brace-decision-declaratory-relief/

I don't think it was the letters, but the explosion in popularity of AR pistols due to these devices in combination with their flagrant "misuse."

The earlier rulings and opinions at least made sense. This appears to be a pure intimidation tactic.

Great job, now they've covered the shit I have on my pistol, along with everything else, or nothing at all; to include the buffer tube itself.

Thanks. I don't even blame the BATF&E? anymore. There's still a little bit of light in this room, and it's they keep using the word "intent."

Can't wait to log on tomorrow to see that 'intent' is no longer required to make this stuff NFA-ifying.

Umm, they already ruled "a void of air is the machine gun" so, I guess shouldering a pistol makes it a SBR and leaving a void of air makes it is MG

Same with the SB15, when i get a good cheek weld the rear of the brace is only about an inch or 2 off my shoulder. Stand a ways off at the right angle and it even looks like I am shouldering it.

I dont undestand all this "poking the bear" commentary. Since when does an enforcing agency have leave to maul the citizens that fund it.....

"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."


The fact that an enforcement arm of the government can induce fear by arbitrarily changing the way it enforces already questionable regulation by simply changing its interpretation  should by itself be a very bad omen of things to come. The average American fears the IRS and the average gun owner fears BATFE and by extension the government that condones their actions.

While I actually believe that it's not a good thing to flaunt guns as a way to antagonize the issue, or take it too far like you say, I also believe that the rule of law should stand regardless of whether or not a some overly sensitive pansies get scared or upset by the actions of those that like to flaunt their guns. Freedom via The Constitution should never be overridden by the fragile feelings of the week minded.

Resorting to attacks on a screen name (which is an inside joke by the way), regarding my post count as irrelevant to the issue, and referring to people that are simply practicing a right protected by The Constitution as "Tards" does nothing but two things......1)Instantly place you in the Man Child With A Keyboard Category   2)Renders any future posts you "contribute" to the subject as null, void, and irrelevant.
