So, I am sorry if I am rehashing things from a different thread, if so, I guess close this one or tell me where to go, but here goes.
Since if you take a Sig-braced AR-15 pistol with a buffer tube attached and shoulder it, in the eyes of the ATF you are remanufacturing the gun and in violation of the NFA. So, what does this do to just bare pistol-style buffer tubes? Can you shoulder a pistol with a pistol buffer tube without making an "SBR?"
I always thought you could shoulder an AR pistol with a pistol buffer tube, but after reading the AFT's opinion about the Sig Brace, it made me think that the AFT could easily apply the "Remanufacturing" idea to any action with a pistol.
If you can change the legal nature of a pistol simply by misusing it, it makes me want to abandon my desire to own one. I'd just stick with regular legal rifles and "standard" pistols.... maybe SBR via tax stamp something someday. But in the short term, it'd change the order of my I-Want-To-Buy-This List.
