Quoted: I'm questioning whether to build a 556 upper with a 12.5 inch or 16 inch barrel given the upcoming ATF Pistol Brace Ruling and score card. If I go 12.5" what is the cost for a trust to register as SBR if it becomes inevitable? If I don't register it as an SBR do I just drop the barrel off at the ATF? What options are there if the courts don't support Others? What's the worst case and best case scenario? Hopefully, my post is not redundant. Let me know if there are any organizations building legal funds to combat this b.s. so I can send a check. Who has the best track record in court? Thanks in advance! |

If braces become outlawed - just take it off. It's still an "other" without the brace...

Quote HistoryQuoted: If braces become outlawed - just take it off. It's still an "other" without the brace... My understanding is that an Other fails to be an other without the Brace and becomes a Pistol? Can anyone clarify that? |

In CT it's based on barrel length. An "other" is simply a "firearm" that has the additional requirement of having a barrel length over 12". For an AR platform it means that unless you want to get into pin/weld territory, your barrel must be at least 12" long and you cannot use a stock.
So, if you take off the brace, it's still in compliance with CT restrictions as written. That is the VERY simple version. |

its hard to register an "other" as an SBR in CT...because you cannot unless your exempt. doing so, that would make a "AW", according to ct laws.
it needs to stay in "other"/"firearm" category. with no way to register as SBR, possibly one could AOW it to maybe remain safe with the brace removed while keeping a short OAL, and barrel length. im under the impression that even with the brace removed, it would still be a SBR. i could be wrong, but i thought there was words explaining with OAL being a factor even without a brace? its been a while since i read the proposed ATF rule. this whole thing made me get a preban colt and form1 SBR it last year. i dont need to deal with anymore brace bullshit, if i need to do something, ill figure it out when it happens. i did get pistol receiver extensions if i need to remove the brace. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This. And don't go out of your way to comply with laws or rulings that have not even come to be yet. Might as well sell all your guns if you want to make them extra happy. I'm trying to make smart choices and be prepared that's all. If I had to do a form 1 than I would want to setup a trust in advance. |

You will need an aw cert to make an sbr. You can’t get an aw cert unless you are of the entitled class- so , forget the whole sbr thing as you will be denied…. Unless you have an aw cert from Dps. |

Unless you have an aw cert from Dps. Thought I read elsewhere that peasants (i.e. non exempted persons) with prebans could get the AW cert to make an SBR. One could always just call Deirdre and ask what are the specific requirements since she seems to be pretty much the only go-to person at SLFU on the AW cert thing (and other issues). God help us all if she is no longer there.

I guess we'll just have to see how see how everything plays out... Just keep the brace off of it if you are worried. Like mentioned you wont be able to SBR it without a cert from the state. That is an atf requirement only special for ct. To get the cert it must have been done back in 13 or a pre ban. |

An other without a brace is still an other. It's still not "designed to be fired from the shoulder". It would be a pipe dream to think the state would grandfather others to be registered as AW's if the ATF passes the brace law but a guy can dream.

That was in the legislation but was then omitted from the bill. I don’t put anything past them. the more things they attempt to fix …… |
