Quoted: For all of the Missouri guys who bought SIG braces, please be careful and don't end up in the federal pound me in the @$$ prison for shouldering your SIG braces: http://www.osagecountyguns.com/blog/news/atf-issues-official-notice-on-pistol-braces/ We called our friend who is a product manager at SIG as soon as we got it (he hadn't heard about it yet), then put it up on our blog. I don't want to see any Missourians end up in jail if you bring your pistol with a PSB to the range! Whats a stamp like 20.00s more than that goofy brace anyway??? I'd rather go that route anyway, just sucks about the paper work and wait... |

what do you expect when dealers advertise the brace as an alternative to an sbr , people make you-tube videos and every tom dick and harry has to write a letter to the atf asking permission to use the brace as a stock .
chalk this one up to the shooting public shooting their self in the foot . |

SIG is getting EXACTLY what they wanted.... what's that they wanted their product made illegal.... You bet. This is the setup for a lawsuit challenging technical branches ability to whatever you wanted.

I have all of the parts beyond the barrel and gas block. At least then I could take it out of state if I wanted to without having to get the government's blessing. |

I'm not sure what the Sig brace dimensions are, but would an A2 buffer tube work in place of a pistol buffer tube? If so, couldn't you have part of the buffer tube extending partially past the Sig brace, therefore technically shouldering the buffer tube? Since you can legally shoulder a buffer tube, right? Thoughts?

What you have basically stated is the whole reason sig has done this and the MPX suppressor... its all a big plan to go after the ATF technical branch being able to arbitrarily make up whatever rules they want. It was painfully obvious that the sig brace was made for a stock replacement anybody who believes otherwise.... come on.... seriously.... that's the story your really going to go with .... these aren't my pants is a better story that that... This will be interesting to see what happens when this is finally resolved in court. |

So, possible deafness and blindness aside, if one were to place their Glock against their shoulder would they have "redesigned" the pistol into a SBR?
ETA: And what if one fires the gun with the rearmost portion resting on their chest/pectoral muscle directly beneath the shooter's dominant eye? Is that still considered "shouldering" the weapon? What are the exact dimensional specs of one's shoulder? |

Oh every person in the ATF has their place. In the employment line! LOL - there's certainly days like yesterday where I feel that way. We are taking it in the shorts unloading all of the braces we have in stock. Imagine the companies that invested in R&D and tooled up to make these really nice pistol buffer tubes for the SIG brace. I still think it's a good product and people will shoulder it away from the prying eyes of the ATF. I'm not advocating that, but I'm sure it will go on. The benefit is that it can be transported like a pistol where it's not so easy to move an SBR over the country (especially when IL is just to the east of us). One day we have a little bit of freedom, the next day an unelected bureaucrat picks up his pen and his phone and it's gone. |

Based on their definition of "redesign" used in the ruling, a lot of normal practices would now be illegal.
The biggest one is firing a pistol with two hands. Since pistols are defined as being designed for one handed use, the moment you put a second hand on the pistol, you "redesign" for two handed use. This would make the pistol fall under the AoW classification, unless it's 26" or longer. Shouldering the buffer tube is also just as bad as shouldering the brace with this logic. The new position is unenforceable and cannot stand up in court. |

Does anyone have a source to any FBI or ATF statistics showing how many SBRs were used in crimes, in comparison to a standard length rifle?
I'm curious just what the point of NFA and SBR being related are to begin with. |

The first person to write the ATF about the price of stamps should be shot...twice...with rock salt to the face balls.

I will continue to use mine as a pistol. Missouri gave us pistols for Alternative Methods season, and I'm going to use my pistol for that as I always intended. I didn't build a "defacto SBR" - I already have a couple of registered SBR's.

It was a 100% tax on the defacto weapon of choice of most of the gangs of the time, the Thompson 1927, in the mid late 1930's a new Thompson at most local hardware stores was about $200.00. and while affordable to those with illicit funds from bootlegging ( Prohibition made a lot of people wealthy) the basic person suffering the great Depression and the "New Deal" made about $200.00 in three months time. |
