Discuss any Title II or NFA items like machineguns, suppressors, SBR's, SBS's, DD's and AoW's.

Upcoming amnesty for braced pistols?

#1

Post by Suck My Glock »

Apparently ATF has inadvertently tipped their hand that they intend to classify all pistols with braces as SBRs,...BUT will extend an amnesty for those who in good faith added a brace to their pistol (believing it was legal) so they can be on the NFA registry and in compliance.

This is breaking news happening just this morning.

So free stamp then just add the rifle stock? Or stick with the brace for eternity. Also what is stamped, the brace?

Get ready for decades long wait times.

Now this part should make everyone who owns any Class III item roll on the floor laughing. I read the entire document and the supporting documents.

ATF says on average it takes 3.99783 hours to prepare a form 1, then the real belly laugh, they say it takes only 15 minutes to conduct and review background check.

"Conducting and reviewing background checks of individual and responsible person respondents: $521,125.08 ($11.06 (15 minutes at $44.22 per hour) * 47,118"


I wonder why I waited 15 months for a form 4 on an item already in their database?

I’m currently 5 months into an efile form 4. The backup caused by this stupidity is going to take years to clear.

Step 1: Free SBR's for everyone! Just enter them into the registry here and send us a photo.
Step 2: SBR's are now outlawed. Turn them in. We know you have them.

Maybe a bit cynical, but do you trust the ATF, especially under this administration? Perhaps the ATF just anticipates that all of their self-imposed receiver and pistol brace rules will be deemed illegal, and they want to use this opportunity to register millions of new firearms. Whatever the case, I don't trust that they have good motives.

I thought the whole point of the brace was that you had a shorter weapon that didn’t have to go through the NFA registry. Now people want to do this?

I spread my buttcheeks at MEPS, they already have my info. I want a free tax stamp and to stay out of jail.

If no free stamps I’ll get rid of the brace and SBR it the old fashion way.

As for “people” I have no clue what they want.

Can I use the approval fast pass lane if I pay $200 anyway?

I don’t understand why people are excited about this. You save the stamp money but still have to pay to buy a real stock to replace the brace. Then you probably have to wait years to use the firearm you already own.

In todays economy, it costs almost $200 to fill up the gas tank in my truck. Saving a stamp isn’t as big of a deal as it was in ‘86 (or ‘34)
