Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATF's new ruling on pistol braces?

What are the compliance options for firearms with pistol braces?

Owners have several options: destroy or turn in the firearm, convert it to a rifle by attaching a barrel of at least 16 inches and a stock, or register the firearm with the NFA as an SBR/SBS.

Did SB Tactical know about the pistol brace ban in advance?

The video suggests that SB Tactical may have been aware of the impending ATF ruling on pistol braces earlier than publicly disclosed. This alleged prior knowledge has led to criticism regarding their communication with customers.

What are the implications of registering braced firearms?

Registering firearms with pistol braces under the NFA effectively creates a federal registry. This means the government will have a record of these specific firearms and their owners, which concerns many gun rights advocates.
