What ATF rule makes attaching a vertical foregrip to a pistol illegal?

Attaching a vertical foregrip to a pistol can classify it as an Any Other Weapon (AOW) under the National Firearms Act (NFA). This requires specific registration and a tax stamp; failure to comply can result in felony charges.

How does the ATF classify firearms with vertical foregrips?

The ATF classifies firearms based on specific features. A pistol with a vertical foregrip is generally considered an Any Other Weapon (AOW) unless it meets specific criteria or is properly registered under the NFA.

What is an AOW in firearm terminology?

AOW stands for Any Other Weapon. It's a classification under the NFA for firearms that don't fit standard rifle or pistol definitions but are deemed potentially dangerous, often requiring special registration and taxes.

Can I put any grip on my pistol?

You can attach many grips, but a vertical foregrip on a pistol typically triggers NFA regulations, classifying it as an AOW. Non-vertical grips or pistol braces might be permissible, but always verify current ATF guidance.
