How can my Springfield saint be a illegal sbr when it was sold and purchased as a legal pistol?
I find nothing illegal but the ATF making bullshit conclusions that cannot be backed up by law and are solely the opinion of the current ATF brass.
Here is to hoping that pistol braces remain just as legal in the future as they are now

many people thought the same thing about the bump stock.
I haven't seen some magical turn in on them either. lol
Still, BATF may become more magical if they get the new Tax on firearms and magazines passed. They would have a lot of funding. Kiinda like the gas tax.
anyway back to OP. I find it interesting that we could put it back in "pistol" config and take it without notifying BATF if it was in fact tax stamped SBR.
Granted who would ever know and who cares other than BATF, but it would be nice to actually have an idea how they would address this. We can speculate all we want, but until it actually happens we don't know what they would say.
I see the scenario going something like this:
you put your pistol brace back on your SBR and go on vacation. You are looking for a hotel and make a wrong turn or do some other violation that captures the LEO in the area. He stops you and being a good officer he starts doing some questioning. You are tired and somewhere in the communication you get on his bad side. He questions you some more and you tell him since your a CCW holder that you have x guns in your car including your legal in his state AR pistol. He wants to examine them and takes a look at your AR pistol and believes it is an SBR after seeing your engravings. Questioning goes on and he decides since there is a local BATF in the area he calls and in they come to check it out.
Now how would this scene go???
my $.02 I'll shut up now.
