I know that a pistol with a foward grip is considered an AOW but what about Tommy gun pistols.  I have seen some with forward grips.  Here is one for sale on gunbroker.

They say it is grandfathered in but how?


Here is another one.

I would agree based upon my reading of the statute, however ATF thinks my AR-15 pistol is concealable and a AOW if I add a forward grip.  Some courts have disaggreed but that is the current ruling.   Maybe they will change thier mind...kind of like the shoelace.

A Thompson pistol with a forward grip is an AOW... without a letter from ATF saying that they will forgo prosecutuion for weapons manuafactured before a certain date I would not purchase it.

I figured we had some real NFA experts on this forum.  No real answers, just opinions.  

Local gun shop has one for sale for $700, they don't no anything about NFA or AOW.  LGS is not even an SOT.
