Great, a link to a thread we're already on, and still not using English. If you have another letter or updated info, we're ready to read it.
If you figured that out, you should be able to read the first post an understand. Its kind of hard to put complex law into common English without making a mistake. I will try.
Sig Brace on Pistol, ok.
Sig Brace on Shoulder... was ok, now jail.
Now the way you shoot your 100% legal gun with no physical change can get you arrested and locked up.
ATF has previously determined that attaching the brace to a firearm does not alter the classification of the firearm or subject the firearm to National Firearms Act (NFA) control. However, this classification is based upon the use of the device as designed. When the device is redesigned for use as a shoulder stock on a handgun with a rifled barrel under 16 inches in length, the firearm is properly classified as a firearm under the NFA.
However, ATF has received numerous inquiries regarding alternate uses for this device, including use as a shoulder stock. Because the NFA defines both rifle and shotgun to include any “weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder,” any person who redesigns a stabilizing brace for use as a shoulder stock makes a NFA firearm when attached to a pistol with a rifled barrel under 16 inches in length or a handgun with a smooth bore under 18 inches in length.
So basically, if you shoulder the pistol's brace, it "redesigns" the brace as a stock and becomes a SBR. So the improper (alternate) use of the brace as a stock redefines the pistol into a SBR which would then be unregistered and illegal. This from the latest and most up to date letter shown on the first post of this thread.
So first the first time the use of a firearm can define what type of firearm it is. Going alone that logic a rifle held without pressing the stock to the shoulder could redefine it as a handgun. A bumpfire stock could mean its a MG. A pistol used as a hammer to beat a nail in is now a hammer. Or if used to beat someone over the head is now a club rather than a pistol...
