ATF Rescinds Prior Methods to Measure a Firearm’s Overall Length when Equipped with a Stabilizing Brace

Just an FYI for anyone running these..

Quote:

Late yesterday, I received an email from an individual containing a letter from ATF which was a response to a correspondence requesting the correct method to “measure a firearm with a ‘stabilizing brace’ and folding adaptor.” It was explained that the correspondence was sent in the form of an email over a year ago and that the person had received a response via email shortly after it was sent. This letter was unsolicited and came over a year after the original request and response.

I was under the impression that it was already that way, that only the parts necessary for the operation of the firearm were measured... in the case of an AR, from the end of the buffer tube to the muzzle.

Isn't it seems to be as of late? Does anyone have or know where to option documents showing these newer pistols have been used in crimes ?

So they ignore the brace when measuring, but then they measure again with the brace to make sure the LOP is not too long?

I was in a local gun store last week. I measured an AK with a blade brace to have a 13 inch LOP. And I measured an AK with a traditional wood stock to have a 12.5 inch LOP.

The 13 LOP gun was a handgun.

The 12.5 LOP gun is a rifle.

Neither one is an SBR.
