Yes, and? What's the lawful distance between the brace and my shoulder before I'm in violation of this opinion? To definitively claim someone shouldered a brace is going to be very difficult to prove. I can't recall reading anything about anyone being accused and convicted for this as a stand alone charge.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Yeah, it would be difficult to prove without the owner bragging about the arm brace making a great stock and posting pics or vids of him using it on social media.

But, remember, the prosecutors and sentencing judge aren't going to be lenient on you if your attitude is "screw you, ATF, you can't prove my exploitation of your loophole is illegal."

General anti-government rants are off-topic to this thread about do-it-yourself suppressors.
The "off topic" forum is available to sound off about how much contempt you have for the government.

This white paper is a wish list. It is an expression of "how I would like things to be in the future." it is not the agency's position of how the law is now.

ATF's position is that these so-called arm stabilization braces are a bullsheet lie designed to give people short shoulder stocks without having to go through the SBR hassle. And if they catch you using one as a shoulder stock, that will be proof that you redesigned the thing from an arm brace , and now it's a shoulder stock for you .

See post 8 above.


PS: if the author of this white paper gets to have his way and ATF completely changes its mind on arm braces, I would like an arm brace for myself.
Except I would want the length of pull to be about 3 inches longer measuring from the face of the trigger to the butt plate of that stock.
Er, excuse me, I mean the end of the stabilization "brace" .
