In my experience, once you have the brace strapped to your arm, you cannot look down the sights in the traditional manner since you cannot shoulder the weapon. As a makeshift stock, I guess it will work....but it's not perfect.
That thing is fugly and dont see how that is any different than a stock. Calling it a brace as some loophole is not going to hold up, and I prefer they make an example out of someone else than me trying to pass this off as not being a stock.
I think you saved me from myself here. When I have my NFA items I won't tell any LEO'S to pound sand now!
Not perfect, but not bad either.
ummmmmmmm. no
the submitted forearm brace, when attached to a firearm does not convert that weapon to be fired from the shoulder and would not alter the classification of a pistol or other firearm. While a firearm so equipped would still be regulated by the Gun Control Act, such a firearm would NOT BE subject to NFA controls.
so, hypothetical. gun is leaning against your bed.....BGs break in. youre gonna take the time to strap it to your arm right?!?!?!?!!?? end of discussion
Do you have a link to your source? I'm still active on a couple of Washington gun forums where the brace has been discussed a lot and I haven't heard about arrests or threats. Since WA prohibits SBRs, this brace has become quite popular.
My google-fu is far from weak and I spent an hour or more looking a few days ago and couldn't find anything on an arrest. I have seen 1st hand reports on a forum in CA stating that a LEO warned a shooter at a range not to shoulder it or he would be arrested. Don't have the time to find the link at the moment but I believe it was a park ranger and that should help aid in your search if you are so inclined.
All of this just proves to me how silly NFA rules are. That is all.
Using a butter-knife as a screwdriver holds true to this argument. I saw where a range-officer wouldn't let a guy in CA use the Sig Braced Pistol, but have heard nothing of the sorts on Washington, or any other place. And the letter from the ATF works for everyone, not just the person who is whited out. A lot of misinformation floating in this thread.
I say just do the out doing anything stupid and call BS BS! Have later with you to inform uneducated LEO. Have fun shooting and encourage LEO to shoot your pistol with brace and he will see what it's all about. Antiquated gun laws!!
