Look closely at the pictures of it. It is a de-facto shoulder stock. ATF legal to boot! |

All I see is a way to have a stock without having a stock.
$200 would be better spent on a stamp where you could get a better stock. |

I love my AR's but I'm pretty sure I don't want one strapped to my forearm.
Unless it's some kind of bionic limb replacement thing. That'd be badass. |

Just get a PLR-16, SIG, or any other AR-type pistol that doesnt have a tube and then put the shoulder strap and you're good-to-go.

I looked at what they want to get a stamp and I do not qualify because of the medication I am on due to a spinal injury. So this seems like a good idea to me. It's something I would try and see if it does work as a stock before I used it, if it did not I would just sell it.

For example, in Illinois, we can now own SBRs, but we need to have a C&R which means no Trust. So something like this may be a valid option in this non free state. The real issue is you will still be arrested and issued a felony citation then have to hire a lawyer and $5000 to have them explain the law to the DA as they do not understand Illinois law. So, in the end, it may be better to not test the law.

I thought this was cool until I saw the $140 price tag. Honestly if you're already 3/4 of the way to $200 you might as well just do an SBR. (Unless you live in a crappy state.)

By this I am of course referring to the fact that the government couldn't outright ban certain items due to the 2nd amendment so they came up with the whole tax scheme and registry nonsense. I don't think Sig or whoever should feel bad at all about breaking the spirit of the law while maintaining the letter, not when the Feds have been doing that for a long time.

Just saw one in 308 at a local firing range. I questioned how this is not a SBR. Was told the stock is what makes it a pistol. $1999.00 for the 308. So can we build one and buy/use this stock and get away with calling it a pistol?

I ordered an AR pistol with one of these today. Although the performance of the stabilizer isn't quite as steady as a proper stock, it is very shootable. The advantages of it being a handgun are that you can carry it on your person or loaded in a car under CCW laws, which are favorable to rifle laws.

The ATF has officially lost touch with what little reality they were clinging to. I'm pretty sure that no one at the ATF has ever shot a gun. Matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that's one of the job requirements.
While I suppose I'm glad that they did approve this monstrosity, as I strongly believe in everyone's right to be a dumbass, I do feel as if the ATF is humping my leg just for the sheer joy of demeaning me. I mean, honestly. If the sig brace is safe enough for the general public, then so is a regular stock, meaning that the ban on SBRs is and always was completely absurd. Essentially, this is the ATF admitting that they are in no way concerned with public safety and are just screwing with us because they hate guns almost as much as they hate gun owners. They might as well legalize machine guns and then pass a law that all of them have to be painted in hot pink (because we all know black guns are way more deadly). It would make just as much sense as banning SBRs but okaying the sig brace. |

Kinda fun to go back and read the initial comments abt the brace, and to think of what they look like now, and how they’ve changed the “pistol” market...
