Frequently Asked Questions

What are the potential consequences of not registering a pistol brace as an SBR within 88 days?

If you do not register a firearm as an SBR after a pistol brace re-designation and fail to pass NFA registration within 88 days, the ATF may enforce the law. This could lead to charges for possessing an unregistered NFA item, potentially resulting in a felony conviction.

How does the NICS program relate to pistol brace enforcement?

The NICS program is involved because it will automatically deny applications related to SBR re-designations if they are not completed within the 88-day grace period. This denial can trigger further ATF enforcement actions against the firearm owner.

Where did the information about ATF pistol brace enforcement originate?

This critical information originated from direct communication between the ATF Deputy Director and a GOA attorney at the SHOT Show. The GOA is disseminating this breaking news to inform gun owners about potential enforcement actions.

What is the main concern regarding pistol braces and the NFA?

The main concern is that the ATF is re-designating certain pistol braces as Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs). Failure to comply with NFA registration requirements for these re-designated items within a specific timeframe can lead to severe legal penalties, including felony charges.
