BREAKING: ATF Says NO to Vertical Grips on AR Pistols! - The Legal Brief
This video explains the ATF's updated guidance on measuring the Overall Length (OAL) of AR pistols, particularly how stabilizing braces are treated. Adding a vertical foregrip to a pistol with an OAL of 26 inches or less (when measured without the brace) can reclassify it as an Any Other Weapon (AOW) under the NFA. Angled grips are generally exempt from this classification. The guidance emphasizes that braces are accessories, not integral parts, and their measurement method affects the legality of vertical grips.
