I've tried searching for information on this question in the past, but can't seem to find anything that lays it out in a definite manner, so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone knows where to find reliable information.
Basically, what is, objectively speaking, the difference between a pistol brace and a stock? I understand the difference in concept (a pistol brace is ostensibly designed for greater stabilization while one-handed shooting, a stock is designed to shoulder) but is there an objective way to classify something as one or the other, or does the ATF just look at them an go, "Oh, that one looks like a stock to me, and that one looks like a pistol brace"?
For instance, if I wanted design myself a pistol brace (carving it out of wood, say) how do I know what measurements will count as a pistol brace? Are there specific limitations on the length from the trigger to the rear of the brace? Limitations on the surface area of the brace?
Any help would be appreciated!
