SB Tactical Arm Braces are in stock!
SB Tactical Arm Braces are in stock and some of the shops weapons already have them installed. The ATF had signed off on these braces when they were originally released and then reversed field and said that shouldering them resulted in a “re-design” of the pistol into an SBR. Early yesterday morning the ATF released a reversal of that reversal going back to it’s original opinion.
The new clarification of opinion letter states, “an NFA firearm has not necessarily been made when the device is not reconfigured for use as a shoulder stock – even if the attached firearm happens to be fired from the shoulder. To the extent that the January 2015 Open Letter implied or has been construed to hold that incidental, sporadic, or situational “use” of an arm-brace (in its original approved configuration) equipped firearm from a firing position at or near the shoulder was sufficient to constitute “redesign,” such interpretations are incorrect and not consistent with ATF’s interpretation of the statute or the manner in which it has historically been enforced.”
Long story short, these braces are above board again and back in the shop. Come by if you are interested. As always, thank you for reading the Blog at gunshinearms.com
