I'm not sure I understand their concern... the last item from that link:

B. The items set forth in subsection A, paragraph 8, subdivision (a), items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this section do not include any firearms or devices that are possessed, manufactured or transferred in compliance with federal law.

The Form-1 is manufacturing the SBR; doesn't that mean it's in compliance with federal law?
That's exactly what I thought as well...
 
I think the issue is, until the ATF approves your stamp you are in violation of state law. Then the question is, will the ATF give you a stamp knowing you are in violation of state law?

I posted a link to this thread into the NFA section of the forum to see what the NFA guys have to say as well.

Cite the state statute that references “stamp approval” or says anything about the NFA registry.

From the ATF site:

25.
PRIOR TO AND A FTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE 120-DAY TAX F ORBEARANCE, CAN I CONTINUE TO
POSSESS MY SBR EQUIPPED WITH A “STABILIZING BRACE” IF I HAVE TIMELY SUBMITTED MY APPLICATION
TO REGISTER M Y FIREARM?

Yes, but registrants should maintain proof of submission as evidence of continued lawful possession.

Thank you - so with that and Gatsby's post sounds like one should be ok if they have submitted to register their SBR/pistol.
 
This issue is what prompted me to become a life member with GOA.

I'm taking a wait and see approach, and as the deadline looms closer, we'll see what course of action we have left to play.

Hopefully everyone is donating to whatever orgs they choose that are fighting this BS.
 
To add insult to injury I get an email from a manufacturer saying that a "braced pistol" I bought from them is now an SBR.
Hi Tony

The ATF has made the rule that your legally purchased M4-22 pistol with Arm Brace is now an SBR.

ATF 2021R-08F rule is now published, you'll have until 5/31/2023 to be compliant.

Owners of PRO, ELITE, TRS, or MICRO Pistols:
To be compliant with the new rule, you will need to remove the arm brace.

I'm now on another list the ATF can grab for something I never bought.... WTF??
 
yes, but THIS list would be owners of unregistered C3 weapons...which would result in visits, fines, and possibly prison
