Accordingly, any trust that seeks to register a "stabilizing brace" equipped firearm pursuant to Final Rule 2021R-08F must include with the eForm 1 application evidence that establishes the trust is the current possessor of the "stabilizing brace" equipped firearm, and possessed it before January 13, 2023. This evidence will generally include the signed, dated, and notarized terms of the trust or trust schedules that list or provide a description of the property held in trust. Accordingly, for trust applicants, ATF will perform a thorough review of the trust documents provided with the eForm 1 application to ensure the firearm sought to be registered to the trust was property possessed by the trust before January 13, 2023. Therefore, an eForm 1 application to register a "stabilizing brace" equipped firearm to a trust will be disapproved if the applicant fails to demonstrate the trust possessed the firearm before January 13, 2023.

Answer: In short, a trust may not register a firearm equipped with a “stabilizing brace” that is a
short-barreled rifle pursuant to ATF Final Rule 2021R-08F unless the trust can establish through
documentary evidence that the trust possessed the firearm prior to the date the final rule is
published in the Federal Register

Thank you this was my question I was going to ask.  This entire BS is just a scheme to create gun laws they do not have the authority to do and turn innocent people into criminals. None of this makes absolutely no sense.


This is all BS and over steps the authority of the atfe. With the swipe of a pen to automatically create millions of felons on something that's been legal for years. They are writing gun laws and by passing the congress.

Fuck them and their unconstitutional BS. I'm glad I live in Florida because a lot of officer and county sheriff's will not abide by this. This is just like bump stock and triggers. The atfe basically writing law and calling them machine-guns

The federal government is not just trying to turn innocent Americans into criminals. They are creating an enemy of the people that will bite them in their ass. They are trying to regulate the Bill of Rights out of existence weather it be not just the 1st but the 2nd, 4th, 5th ect.... and that's not how it's suppose to work. You cannot regulate protected rights. There is a process for that if America wants to change the BORs and this is not one of them.

These dumb asses better be careful because America is at a point in time of being very volatile towards a government that no longer operates for the people. Instead they work to strip away protected rights by unconstitutional regulations not laws to gain power. The moment this Democratic Socialists extremist party siezed power the entire nation has gone to shit. Gas, food, medications, baby food everything has been reduced or just plain disappeared because of the direct actions of this Socialist threat. But they fear an armed America because they know they are just mere steps from being held accountable by the American people. Our government is not absolute. The American people are because the very first line of out founding papers this party of treason called the Democratic Socialists Party want to trash and used for toilet paper says WE THE PEOPLE not we the government.

I will not comply any longer. I will not register another item. I am not a threat to my country. But this Democratic Socialists Party is a domestic terrorist group that is a danger to the very existence of America

Nothing in the FINAL ruling starting on Pg 268 mention a "Pistol Buffer." However, there is discussion  where they say they, "may consider the requirement for cycling"
Discussion  page 162-163
One objective design feature ATF may consider is whether the attachment is
required for the cycle of operations of the weapon,
which could indicate the firearm is not
designed and intended to be fired from the shoulder.  For example, an AR-type pistol
with a standard 6- to 6-1/2-inch buffer tube may not be designed, made, and intended to
be fired from the shoulder even if the buffer tube provides surface area that allows the
firearm to be shoulder fired. On an AR-type pistol, the buffer tube encases a spring that
drives the bolt forward when the bolt is driven into the buffer tube by the gas from the
initial shot.  The picture below displays the internal function of an AR-15 type rifle.  The
AR-type pistol is a variant of the rifle with the stock removed and has the same receiver
and buffer tube function of the rifle version.
View Quote

I see so many here glancing at a snippet of a 293 page document and concluding that all AR15 pistols will be SBRs now because they have a buffer tube.  If you read the entire (often poorly worded) document, that's not what it says.  If the buffer tube is there because it is a functional part of the pistol's operation, it appears fine.  It's when it's not a functional part and only there to create the ability to shoulder that it's a problem and contributes to definition as an SBR.  They even give the example of a Glock put into an apparatus that gives it an AR buffer tube like extension that serves no functional purpose.

I'm not a lawyer but I write and interpret a ton of legal documents and I'm pretty confident this is what is written.

Not to be misconstrued that I agree with anything they are doing here.
View Quote

Great first post. I posting page numbers to get other points of views like yours.

If Pistol Tube are still allow then why the "may consider" wiggle room. They state a length of 6 to 6-1/2" for a pistol tube, does that mean that is the max length allowed? ( at least they didn't say longer is an SBR).
The ruling calls out "Stabilized- Braces", but the new "rifle definition" pretty much allows the ATF to declare what you think is a pistol, a rifle based on other factors.  The problem is we (gun owners) don't know if our "pistol buffer tubed pistol" is still a pistol until the ATF evaluates it based on the new rifle definition.

My view is anything before the "FINAL Ruling" means very little, but it gives a lot of information to argue in court.

Thanks, see it now.  Allows for adoption of original markings.  I wonder if this could be applied to any SBR given not doing so would make the instructions inconsistent and the fact that the maker marking is redundant.  Could the fatf be changing this for all SBRs, or only for this special case?

Of course inconsistencies will never cause confusion down the road (purposeful sarcasm.)

We don't know yet.
Their general rhetoric indicates that braced pistols are still ok.
The existence of criteria clearly implies that it is possible for a braced gun to pass and be a pistol and not an sbr.
They absolutely did not simply say all braces make sbrs.

The new criteria says length of pull 'typical' of a rifle.
So entry stock or fully collapsed m4 is right at the bottom end of that.

the 4999 numbers are not official now but probably still indicative.

The upshot is that there isn't a bright line rule or straightforward test to assist the public with compliance.

ATF Pg 209-210
Department Response
The Department disagrees with the assertions that this rule is intended to or will
make felons of law-abiding citizens
. This rule does not itself impose any new
restrictions; instead, this rule articulates the best interpretation of the relevant statutory
terms. Nothing in this rule changes those underlying statutory requirements. Nor does
this rule affect “stabilizing brace” devices alone.  Further, the Department disagrees with
the comment that three million law-abiding citizens will be subject to harsh fines and
forfeiture of firearms. Commenters with these objections failed to recognize that nothing
in the rule or the relevant statutes prevents an individual from continuing to possess or
use a “stabilizing brace” on heavy pistols or rifles. This rule only serves to clarify that
certain weapons equipped with “stabilizing braces” are short-barreled rifles regulated
under the NFA, thus requiring registration, transfer and making approval, and the
payment of a making or transfer tax.

Furthermore, this rule also provides options for individuals who are in possession
of a firearm equipped with a “stabilizing brace” that is an unregistered short-barreled
rifle, as that statutory term is properly understood. The options for current unlicensed
possessors include the removal and replacement of the offending feature (the barrel less
than 16 inches); submission of an ATF E-Form 1 by [INSERT DATE 120 DAYS
AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], to register the
firearm as a short-barreled rifle; removal of the “stabilizing brace” so that it cannot be
reattached to the firearm; turning the firearm into a local ATF office; or destroying the
firearm. For a detailed discussion of the options available for individuals to comply with
the statute, see section V.B of this preamble.  In an exercise of the Department’s
enforcement discretion, it has determined that any criminal liability for failure to take the
necessary action to comply with Federal law for weapons that have already been made
will result only for conduct occurring after the time period to register ends. Additionally,
in lieu of criminal prosecution, the Department may, for conduct occurring after the 120-day
period, pursue forfeiture of the firearm pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 5872.
The Department also disagrees this rule needlessly harms citizens by risking
exposure of PII. The NFA requires that the registry of NFA firearms in the NFRTR
include the identification of the firearm, date of registration, and identification and
address of person entitled to possession of the firearm. See 26 U.S.C. 5841.  The
information in the NFRTR is confidential, and ATF officers or employees and other
persons are prohibited by law from disclosing confidential NFA tax information.

In IL you have to have a C&R FFL to get SBR’s….you have to send the ATF a copy of the FFL for approval. So they’re obviously checking against state requirements.

Will BATF approve it if you live in a state that bans SBRs? How about live in a state that bans SBRs but the braced pistol is stored in another state?

I’m sure this will run through the same process as any other Form 1, if it’s not allowed in the state, they won’t approve it.

In IL you have to have a C&R FFL to get SBR’s….you have to send the ATF a copy of the FFL for approval. So they’re obviously checking against state requirements.


What if it is still considered a pistol under State laws and regulations, not an SBR?

We can have an injunction next week if 40 million people are about to be made felons.

ATF Pg 209-210
Department Response
The Department disagrees with the assertions that this rule is intended to or will
make felons of law-abiding citizens
. This rule does not itself impose any new
restrictions; instead, this rule articulates the best interpretation of the relevant statutory
terms. Nothing in this rule changes those underlying statutory requirements. Nor does
this rule affect “stabilizing brace” devices alone.  Further, the Department disagrees with
the comment that three million law-abiding citizens will be subject to harsh fines and
forfeiture of firearms. Commenters with these objections failed to recognize that nothing
in the rule or the relevant statutes prevents an individual from continuing to possess or
use a “stabilizing brace” on heavy pistols or rifles. This rule only serves to clarify that
certain weapons equipped with “stabilizing braces” are short-barreled rifles regulated
under the NFA, thus requiring registration, transfer and making approval, and the
payment of a making or transfer tax.

Furthermore, this rule also provides options for individuals who are in possession
of a firearm equipped with a “stabilizing brace” that is an unregistered short-barreled
rifle, as that statutory term is properly understood. The options for current unlicensed
possessors include the removal and replacement of the offending feature (the barrel less
than 16 inches); submission of an ATF E-Form 1 by [INSERT DATE 120 DAYS
AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], to register the
firearm as a short-barreled rifle; removal of the “stabilizing brace” so that it cannot be
reattached to the firearm; turning the firearm into a local ATF office; or destroying the
firearm. For a detailed discussion of the options available for individuals to comply with
the statute, see section V.B of this preamble.  In an exercise of the Department’s
enforcement discretion, it has determined that any criminal liability for failure to take the
necessary action to comply with Federal law for weapons that have already been made
will result only for conduct occurring after the time period to register ends. Additionally,
in lieu of criminal prosecution, the Department may, for conduct occurring after the 120-day
period, pursue forfeiture of the firearm pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 5872.
The Department also disagrees this rule needlessly harms citizens by risking
exposure of PII. The NFA requires that the registry of NFA firearms in the NFRTR
include the identification of the firearm, date of registration, and identification and
address of person entitled to possession of the firearm. See 26 U.S.C. 5841.  The
information in the NFRTR is confidential, and ATF officers or employees and other
persons are prohibited by law from disclosing confidential NFA tax information.

Wait, wha what?  

To rephrase:  This rule doesn't make millions of current firearms felony possession.   It only makes firearms possession of certain guns, of which there are millions, a felony possession.  

It just fucking said that.


Also, why do all the official texts refer to paying a license fee, yet everyone keeps saying its free.  It didn't say anything in that text, about free - it said you have to pay the tax fee.
