I do think it's rather odd that they regulate the use of something in a manner other than which it was intended. I also think the wording in the letter exemplifies that point. They classify the usage alone without physically modifying the original apparatus as a "redesign."You don't think this is odd that for the first time EVER they have attempted to regulate the use of something rather than its construction is significant?
Is the prevailing attitude or fear that the ATF has eyes and ears everywhere now?
exactly they changed the definition to their liking.......I do think it's rather odd that they regulate the use of something in a manner other than which it was intended.

Oh trust me they do.Is the prevailing attitude or fear that the ATF has eyes and ears everywhere now?
Thats what I said in 2nd post on the 2nd page.Just so everyone is clear, and can stop sending shyte to ATFE's tech branch for a ruling, if you put it to your shoulder, it is now NFA! So quit writing and asking!

Nope, but now we need to call and ask that, if when we remove it from our shoulder, is it no longer NFA, or does it stay NFA and become contraband?Common sense just isn't too common, huh?
I don't trust anybodyOh trust me they do.
You're using it as a shoulder stock not an armbrace. Violation!!Nope, but now we need to call and ask that, if when we remove it from our shoulder, is it no longer NFA, or does it stay NFA and become contraband?
I understand that, but it used to be, once NFA, always NFA, unless you apply to have it removed from the registry! And, so it is clear, I don't own a brace, for this exact reason!You're using it as a shoulder stock not an armbrace. Violation!!
I see your point. Once you put the brace to your shoulder the firearm automatically becomes an NFA item.I understand that, but it used to be, once NFA, always NFA, unless you apply to have it removed from the registry! And, so it is clear, I don't own a brace, for this exact reason!
They have to pay a tax stamp.What if I use somebody else's shoulder?
