Message: <blockquote data-quote="mightymouse" data-source="post: 3963038" data-attributes="member: 15253">If the pistol in question has a stabilizing brace, it would not have the type of buffer tube that is being prohibited.  The ones that are prohibited are those that allow the pistol to be shouldered like it would be with a brace except there is no stabilizing brace present.  These extended buffer tubes allow the pistol to be shouldered, as with a brace, but are sold as an alternative to stabilizing braces like those from SB and others.So, if you have a pistol with a SB type stabilizing brace, removal of same, and permanent disposal of same, would return your SBR to pistol status.  Again, buffer tubes are allowed because they are necessary to the function of the pistol, but if you can mount your buffer tube to your shoulder, you have the wrong one.  And it is not necessary to change buffer tubes (as long as it isn't one of the extended types that you can mount to your shoulder) as long as you just permanently dispose of the stabilizing brace.</blockquote>
