Unfortunately even a bare buffer tube provides a "shoulerable" surface that you could shoot from. No bull****. Read that earlier on in the ruling this morning and my jaw dropped.
It should be noted that anyone who registers JUST to have a free stamp, is just adding to the "See? It works! People WANT to register! Let's start a COMPLETE firearm registry!" argument when this undoubtedly goes to court.
Just wait. There isn't any ****ing way this sticks. Only NFA what you...
ODT be full of em. Luckily these old codgers just spooge over grandpappy shotguns, hunting bs, lever actions and 10/22s more than anything else. I'm hoping that most of them don't own AR pistols or anything of the sort.
I think someone said that since BCM markets it as a "Vertical Foregrip" that no, it wouldn't be, but by the ATFs interpretation it would be since it's clearly not 90* perpendicular of the bore. So strange.

That seems to be the only thing I've found. But holy smokes, you mentioned "OAL" "26 inches" and "VFG" anywhere near a Roswell gun shop and you get all kinds of rage... I guess they just spooked me a little is all.
I'm starting to almost not even want to mess with it anymore, as I'm getting conflicting reports left and right.
2 local gun shops have told me not just "no", but "HELL no" when putting a VFG on a braced AR pistol that's OAL exceeds 26", but I can find letters and some YouTube videos that say...
