Don't believe there is a spec for length of grip. Firearm must be over 26 in.

Quote HistoryQuoted: How do you know? As long as it's over 26" OAL you can put a 4 foot long VFG on it for all the BATFE cares....the "angle" wouldn't matter either..... |

Well, the question is really minimum length of VFG and yes it does matter if it's a straight or angled. AFG is not allowed on a other firearm. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well, the question is really minimum length of VFG and yes it does matter if it's a straight or angled. AFG is not allowed on a other firearm.  You can put any fore grip you want on a gun classified as a "firearm" as long as the OAL is over 26". Just like you can put any type of fore grip on a rifle too. A VFG only becomes illegal if put on a pistol that is under 26". It does NOT matter if it is a VFG or AFG as long as the firearm is over 26". Please cite the applicable federal law/regulation stating that an AFG is illegal on a gun classified as a "firearm" And if you are going to quote the rulings concerning "Other" firearms in CT? Those involved a folding stock adaptor. The ATF did say that any AR pistol or "other" with a folding adaptor must be measured with the adaptor folded. In that case, there is no way that the OAL will ever be over 26". If a standard non folding buffer tube is used and the OAL is over 26" then you can use any type of fore grip per federal law. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You are entirely incorrect. I should have known all of the experts would chime in with nothing useful, just trying to appear knowledgeable. I own a perfect example for you. I have an AR pistol that is 26 1/2" OAL (not including flash hider). I currently have an angled fore grip on it which is quite legal and by federal law it is still classified as a pistol. Now I can absolutely legally put a Vertical fore grip on it if I want since it IS over 26". If I put a VFG on it, the legal federal classification changes from a pistol to "other" or simply a "firearm". |

Apparently you are not familiar with firearm laws in Connecticut, but think that you are. Your just another expert that doesn't really care about helping, but rather try to show how knowledgeable he is. Unfortunately, you are not familiar with Connecticut laws and what a "other" firearm is and what is required of it. I will educate you however in that it requires a BBL length of at least 12", no butt stock, and a vertical fore grip, regardless of what you think it requires to be legal. You don't even live in Connecticut but think you know the laws here. |

So yes I do know what I am talking about when it comes to federal law. I happen to live in a free state so don't keep up on restrictive laws of other states that I will never go to.

I've never seen anything stated that requires a vertical grip to be a certain size. Common sense would suggest that a human hand should be able to grasp it with some stability if it's considered a 'grip'. You should look into your state laws to see if a vertical grip has requirements?
Here is the GCA definition of a pistol= The term “Pistol” means a weapon originally designed, made, and intended to fire a projectile (bullet) from one or more barrels when held in one hand, and having: a chamber(s) as an integral part(s) of, or permanently aligned with, the bore(s); and a short stock designed to be gripped by one hand at an angle to and extending below the line of the bore(s). Technically speaking, if you make a weapon and your original intent is to shoot it with two hands, the vertical grip is irrelevant. It can't be a pistol unless your intent was to shoot it with one hand. If you build a weapon with the intent to put a second hand on it when shooting, it's not technically a pistol by definition. If it's not a pistol but it also doesn't fit the definition of another weapon (such as a rifle, SBR, shotgun, etc.), it would be a plain firearm anyway. This is speaking federally. So, your state law would be the only thing requiring you to have a vertical grip at all or defining what that grip would be for the gun to be considered a ''Firearm''. |

It has the VFG so that it is intended to be fired with both hands, but not shouldered. |

Gentlemen, get this under control.
Tone it down or this will be locked. For a weapon to be a “firearm”, it needs a brace AND a vertical foregrip AND must be over 26” in length. That 26+ weapon is not designed to be fired from the shoulder, because of the brace, AND it is not designed to be fired with one hand BECAUSE of the vertical grip indicates it’s designed to be fired with TWO. Put an angled grip on it, and it’s just a long pistol. That’s my read on it... As far as Connecticut goes, ask someone from Connecticut. But I think the “other firearm” and pistol are both good to go in CT.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Because if CT falls back on federal documents and definitions then i can suggest we are moving in the right direction with this thread, pending no additional regulation from CT, including anything about technical foregrip restrictions reguarding an assembled FIREARM Not Sorry to split hairs here but this thread has been confusing Quote HistoryQuoted: Because if CT falls back on federal documents and definitions then i can suggest we are moving in the right direction with this thread, pending no additional regulation from CT, including anything about technical foregrip restrictions reguarding an assembled FIREARM Not Quoted: "other firearm" Sorry to split hairs here but this thread has been confusing It's confusing for people that think they know everything about every states particular gun laws. In Connecticut for example our AR15's that we can only purchase now are called "other firearm" and have to meet specifications that I outlined earlier. We can purchase stripped lower receivers that must be built in compliance with Connecticut laws. When one purchases a stripped "other firearm" lower receiver one must sign a waiver agreeing to build according to the specifications outlined. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There is no CT "other firearm" in your list. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Gentlemen, get this under control. Tone it down or this will be locked. For a weapon to be a “firearm”, it needs a brace AND a vertical foregrip AND must be over 26” in length. That 26+ weapon is not designed to be fired from the shoulder, because of the brace, AND it is not designed to be fired with one hand BECAUSE of the vertical grip indicates it’s designed to be fired with TWO. Put an angled grip on it, and it’s just a long pistol. That’s my read on it... As far as Connecticut goes, ask someone from Connecticut. But I think the “other firearm” and pistol are both good to go in CT. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/285/E6501E94-8C0C-456E-8B09-B71D4032A82A-1435227.jpg There is no CT "other firearm" in your list. Clearly you are the only “CT other Firearm” subject matter expert in this thread. |
