I don't think they are "trying" to say it, they said it. I heard about this a while ago, surprised it took this long to get posted here.

does not appear to be... that was was related to a "ruling" on a PG shotgun...

This appears to be a case of "ask a different bureaucrat, get a different answer"

I am waiting for BATFE to provide an opinion on: How many angels can dance on the end of an AR receiver extension before it becomes a weapon for Mass destruction.

If too many angels are put onto a SIG brace, will the weapon become overly weighted toward the rear or will the enlightened presence of angels actually cause the AR to tip forward.

Come BATFE, the free citizens of the nation depend upon your wisdom for legal compliance with the "common sense" nature of the NFA.

Figures I just finally bought one. Might have to just submit for a stamp and be done with it.

Again, what difference does it make how a GUN is designed to be fired or operated? We need to somehow kill he various definitions of a GUN. If a hand GUN can have a barrel less than 16 inches, why not a shoulder fired GUN?

Its not like a shoulder fired GUN is more concealable or dangerous than a hand GUN.

F-ing bureaucrats and their stupid confusing double talk rules that make everyone a criminal if you read them a certain way.

The only thing that keeps me from going stamp-crazy is that I move all the time. Realllly looking forward to the day when I can finally settle down in one state. Should take about 3 more years : \

(disclaimer: I have the $200 NFA stamp for an SBR and have for many years now)

I have read countless posts on various online gun forums by people that were 'sure the ATF will nip this in the bud' when it comes to the Sig brace. There have been numerous posts by those who have jumped through the NFA hoops to get their SBR stamp that are belittling the Sig brace and essentially hoping that they will be deemed illegal. With friends like those, who needs enemies?!

I cannot help but think the incessant letter writing to the NFA branch of ATF to get yet one more clarification is by people that have their SBR stamp and are miffed that they jumped the hoops but others have seen fit not to.

If this letter had not been issued, I'm quite certain that someone else would see the necessity of writing their letter to ascertain "is it OK if I buy a Sig brace, even though it's OK that my neighbor bought one?".

Maybe we can now focus on the legality of shouldering a Glock 19, if we push it, maybe that can be deemed an NFA item when positioned 'just-so' on the body...

STFU just doesn't work, does it?!
