ATF says it's only a VFG if it's "90° to the bore," and now B&T does too.  Behold their latest USA civilian legal PISTOL configuration.



Therefore, these are also not VFGs


After all, this is a perfectly legal pistol

I always wondered about the BCM angled foregrip. Guess I'm going home and slapping it on a pistol

Because of the fixed stock, that is an SBR, so the foregrip question is moot.

I mean, its not plumb, but couldn't you say that its 90 degrees to the axis of the bore when viewed from the front, or is it kinked off to the side as well?

What is the source for this?

Is there some letter or official statement from the ATF that this is based on?

Not trying to disagree or anything, but I had not heard this before, so I am really curious and would like to see it.

I am, as well. Is there a notice I missed, even a specific opinion letter? I haven't seen any BATFE guidance on this contradicting the "two grips one isn't horizontal = AOW if under 26 inches".
Link Posted: 9/20/2018 2:12:47 PM EDT

Can it be 89.9999999999 degrees?
What part of it do you use your protractor on, the front edge, rear edge or base?
What if it's canted to the side?
What if you have vertical foregrips?  Foregrips are not a foregrip.

So an A2 grip, attached to the rail is good to go!

Peak A2 grip!

Maybe this is why the not-vertical VFG on the 93R is at the angle it is?

That doesn't say what you think it says. That's specifically about the SE-5 AFG, very similar to Magpul's AFG.

I wonder what the tolerances are on that.

I’d be willing to bet that none of my fore grips are any closer than 89.9 deg....

Edit... just saw that I was beat.

Most of the time the ATF are dicks, but every once in a while I wonder if we have some "inside" guys that are doing what they can to help us out
