Frequently Asked Questions

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

The ATF now classifies AR-15 pistols equipped with braces, particularly those with short barrels like the 10-inch Daniel Defense model shown, as Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs). This means they are subject to NFA regulations and require a tax stamp for legal possession.

What are the options for complying with the ATF pistol brace ruling?

Owners have three main options: apply for an SBR tax stamp, replace the short barrel with a 16-inch or longer barrel to make it a legal rifle, or remove the pistol brace entirely to maintain its legal pistol status.

How can I avoid constructive possession issues with a removed pistol brace?

To avoid 'constructive possession,' which implies intent to create an illegal firearm, ensure the removed pistol brace is stored separately from the firearm. Do not keep it in the same safe or in close proximity to the firearm it was removed from.
