Sharkbite And the BATFE, in their “training for FFL’s” Q&A…says there is no need to destroy the brace. So that conflicts directly with the written rule.
No, it doesn't.
ATF has made it abundantly clear of the options nonlicensee's and licensees have in regards to a pistol with an attached arm brace
I was on the live training that was provided by the BATFE regarding this rule. And YES, they explicitly stated a couple times that the brace did not need to be destroyed. As i said, that is in direct conflict with the written rule.
My point is that even the “experts” (those chosen to address questions about this rule) cant give a straight answer.
As i said in another post, the Thompson/center SCOTUS ruling says i can turn a pistol into a rifle by adding a16”+ barrel and then installing a stock (or now a brace). How do i do that if i am forced to alter the brace so it cant be re-installed.
I happen to have more then a few actual rifle stocks in my parts bin. Why cant i just put my braces in the parts bin and not worry about constructive possession?
