Turning a pistol into a rifle is OK, turning a rifle into a pistol is a no no. That was the whole premise behind the NFA. Before pistols used to be more regulated than they are now, so people used to buy long guns and cut them down to be pistols. NFA put an axe to that. Since pistols have since...
Since MD law hasn't changed, this shouldn't be an issue as far as I can tell. The classification of 'firearm' vs. rifle technically has legal justification. If MD decides to adopt that any/all braces are stocks this would change the classification. Might want to talk to a lawyer for this though...
So are you basically asking if you can have something like a Colt 6920 with a brace and it being compliant? A rifle length upper on lower that has a brace would technically define it as a 'firearm' as there is no stock, it would neither be a rifle or a pistol.
Just remember, if you file these as individuals you're the only person who will have access to these firearms. This includes access, so if there are others in your home you're going to have to make sure they do not have access to the NFA items (so a seperate safe in the case of those with...
Two things should happen short term (ideally) until this is overturned.
1) BATFE 'should' get push back and modify their limitations to the registration to include transfers of these pistols to Trusts to promote the registration rather than destruction of the firearm or removal of the braces if...
This is the issue. 99% of people with an NFA Trust use it solely to manage their NFA items for access for family/friends or for estate management of their NFA items. The problem is that unless you purchased this pistol with a brace (or the receiver that the brace is attached to) with your NFA...
I've yet to see it brought up, in here or another post (if I missed it, my bad) but the 'free' Form 1 process is ONLY for individual applications and not Trusts. If your pistol was not purchased/registered to a Trust prior to the ruling, then you will not be able to get the grandfathered 'free'...
My thoughts exactly, but if you wanted to cause chaos within a community that the Government is trying to disband, this would be the way to do it. Regardless, if this is real we should be aware about it if not, we should be aware about it and once it's deemed fake news spread the word.
Someone forwarded me this today and I'm hesitant to call it "official" as there are no cover letters, digital water marks or other identifying information to make it official, but the verbiage looks to be BATFE legalese.

Great haul! If you're looking at selling those dies and Pinecone passes, let me know. I need to feed my AR57 and my buddy is looking for a set of 32's.
Anyone running a Lee Reloading Stand or the Frankford Arsenal stand? With the small workbench that I've got, I don't want to hard mount a single stage and might be inheriting one that I could use for some case prep/single stage stuff to not over complicate my 550B. Just need to figure out a way...
I should clarify as some of the posts made clear I forgot something. For those using a progressive press, which scales do you use to calibrate your powder thrower? Till now I didn't understand why some people went with auto chargers, but that is because they are hand loading match rounds or not...
Grabbing the last of the things I need on the bench to get the first few loads out on my new 550B. One of those things still happen to be a scale. No matter who I've spoken to, it seems that scale preference is all based on what you grew up using. That said though, I'm interested to hear what...
I went with a custom upper for my QC10 carbine. Check >>>THIS<<< out if you want a solid upper to slap on and go though. BCG is already cut for Glock mags too ;) It's on my list if I find another QC10 lower locally as I want to build an SBR.
