It keeps getting pushed back but it will most likely go through and pistols will need to be registered as SBRs. Last is saw is in mid December.

Judging by the current NFA wait times, it would take a couple of decades to get a stamp back,

Wait a minute. There is no latest update on AR pistol rules. It’s all about putting a brace on any pistol. So anyone with a pistol with a brace can make it legal by throwing the brace in the trash. GARY.

Long time lurker here but a had to come out of the shadows to agree. It's not a ruling on the pistol, it's the brace that they are trying to control. Turning it into a SBR would generate a lot of revenue. I think that we all know that all of the tax stamp stuff is a way for them to be self funding...

The news hit yesterday. But anyone who had a braced pistol before yesterday can get the stamp for free. This is good for 120 days. This was always a SBR loophole. How many people actually used their brace like it was meant to be used by a disabled person? GARY.

As I have Parkinson's I do indeed use a brace for a disability reason. I am sure I am not alone but that said I am also sure the number of people with the disabilities is a small percentage of the brace users.

Nobody on this forum should care.

I recently ordered a pistol lower from PSA for a .300blk build. Do you know if the grace period is from the date of purchase or is it the date of transfer?
