ATF Pistol Brace Rule Explained... Kind of...
This video explains the ATF's new ruling on pistol braces, effective January 31st, 2023. It clarifies that AR-15 pistols with braces are now considered Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) and require a tax stamp. The speaker, Lenny McGill from GlockStore, outlines three options for compliance: registering the firearm as an SBR (with a grace period to waive the $200 fee), converting the pistol to a rifle by replacing the upper receiver with a 16-inch barrel, or removing the brace entirely and storing it separately from the firearm. Proper storage is emphasized to avoid implied construction of an SBR.
