Robocop1051 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 I hate to say it, but I saw this coming a long time ago. Time for all those pistols to get equipped with A2 length receiver extension. ps. I have A5 mil spec receiver extensions for sale soon too.

SimonSays Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Let me see if I understand this. This is an AR Pistol. Its legal as is, because its a pistol. If I add a fore grip, it becomes a NFA item, because it is meant to be fired with 2 hands. This pistol is also GTG because it has a brace, not a stock. This pistol now has become a NFA item because it has a "grip" on the rail. That means it's meant to be fired with 2 hands, so it no longer a pistol. This pistol has a folding brace, but no vertical fore grip, so its still GTG. I can't find a picture of the above with a fore grip. But if I add a fore grip to the above, it becomes a AOW, and NFA item. Are my assumptions correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only vertical grips are specifically mentioned in the actual terminology concerning AR pistol construction. Angled foregrips have been Good-To-Go for years, since they came out. Now, as soon as some dipshiit writes the ATF a letter and asks for determination, that could change. As long as people leave the sleeping dog lie, angled foregrips are perfectly legal on AR pistols.

98Z5V Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Huh, I responded before I watched the video, but after I'd read the comments here. Just watched the video... Now, this is all in response to something I stated up there ^^^. This is an individual response to some dipshiit that wrote them a letter. This affects 3 things, the way I listened to the reading of the letter: 1. Vertical pistol grips. Why would someone include that in a letter, when it's been written that way for so long? Why ask for a "determination" on that? Makes no sense to even ask them if you can do something that's already written on, and decided on, and it actually written into the laws already (notice, I'm differentiating on "law" versus "determination" there)... 2. AR Pistols that you can actually "adjust" the brace position on, i.e., SBA3, GHW Tailhook mod 2... If you can adjust the length, you can only count the OAL with it in the collapsed position. STUPID question to ask them to "determine." 3. Folding adaptors. Great WAY STUPID QUESTION TO ASK! Why ask them about that, and bring that into the "determination letter?!!?" Now, according to that letter, if you have a folding adaptor on your pistol, you must FOLD IT and make an OAL measurement... Now, since this was written as a response to an individual (that wrote to them and asked for "clarification"}, that's a good thing. Those types of letters, we've been cautioned and cautioned for a decade now - those letters aren't a blanket statement or a ruling - and certainly not a law - for everybody... That is a response to an individual, from ATF Firearms Technology Branch, TO that individual. No need for everyone to get worried. Yet.

That is a response to an individual, from ATF Firearms Technology Branch, TO that individual. Yep, some bureaucrat responding in a manner that will please his boss. He gets transferred in a year and the next guy in the slot responds with more and different minutia. If you hear POTUS mention it then it is time to "get worried" and start responding. It is the low hanging fruit for the anti's, similar to bumpstocks there are many that will not care and see it as a sensible compromise to outlaw AR pistols altogether. I might just start collecting some $200 stamps and hold on to them a little longer...................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 I got rid of my pistol because it didnt really serve any purpose for me.

As the law is written, right now, that is perfectly, 100% legal, in the eyes of the BATFE. Your state and local laws might be different, depends on where you live. You install a Vertical Pistol Grip on that thing, and you just created an unregistered AOW - but your angled grip is perfectly fine. These are a No-Go on an AR Pistol build: ^^^ Those, on an AR Pistol build, turn your (same) gun into an AOW. For an AOW, you need to pay your $5 tax stamp, and get approved, before you can "build" it... Edited July 6, 2019 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wash Go ahead, brother! Some enterprising young criminal will pick them up, and build whateverthefuck he wants with it, 'cause he don't giveashit about any gun laws that he doesn't even know about!!!... For real. They don't care what laws, rules, whatever are on the books... They do what they want anyway... Gun Laws only affect the law-abiding citizens. They don't affect criminals, in the least. If any of these recent "ATF Determination Letters" actually get into some kind of "law," it doesn't affect me in the least in my state. Not if I kep my firearms in MY state, and don't go out of State boundaries. A long time ago, in AZ, it was passed into State law that no more Federal Gun Laws would affect this state. All the ones before, are vaild - all the federal gun laws in the future, after passage of that bill, do not pertain to this state, inside this state. You like your bump-stock? Move here.

That type of state law didn't work out so good for Jeremy Kettler in Kansas. They had a similar law but he lost his case against the atf and the SCOTUS refused to hear the appeal. https://americanmilitarynews.com/2019/06/supreme-court-to-rule-on-us-army-vets-unconstitutional-gun-suppressor-this-week-after-national-controversy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonSays Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Like others, I was wondering why anyone would ask for clarification on things that seemed to be settled or ignored. Then it hit me. I wonder if the Jackwad letter writer is a liberal that just discovered something called a "determination letter". That has the potential to be a powerful tool in the anti-2nd amendment arsenal. It also occurred to me that I need to spend more time poking around the BATF web's site. I don't even know if inquiry/asking for clarification letters and their responses are published. 2 hours ago, mrmackc said: My Bad for a while I thought you were chatting about AIR pistols Don't feel bad.

98Z5V Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Suzuki's answer to the Kawi H2 was water-cooling a 750 triple 2-stroke, the GT750 Water Buffalo. I want one of those fuckers BAD... Kawi's new H2 and H2R are psycho. Supercharged inline 4, 4-stroke. The H2 is 200hp, the H2R is 300hp (and track-only, not street legal).
