[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 3962955, member: 15253"] Don, first question: ATF final rule 2021R-08F [I]does say[/I] that someone cannot buy or sell a braced pistol during the 120 day amnesty period. The rule also designates braced pistols as SBRs, but it is NFA laws which prohibit [I]any transfer of an unregistered SBR. [/I]An AR-15 pistol with a brace is an SBR, they are as yet unregistered, and they cannot be transferred [I]because they are unregistered. [/I]Please go to the link below and read section 9.1 and 9.2 in Chapter 9 of the NFA handbook. Section 9.2 is headlined in bold-faced print and reads, "[B]Only previously registered firearms may be lawfully transferred[/B]".
