AR Pistol Build

[CM1021]

I have a 300 BLK pistol right now and held one of the sig pistols with the brace on it Monday at Gander mountain and now I have one on order. I LOVE the brace!!

Entire length of firearm that includes only the necessary functional parts from butt to end of barrel.

 

- A muzzle device does not count in OAL unless permanently attached according to ATF specs, as only a permanently attached one is considered part of the barrel

- Nothing has ever been ruled as adding to the ass end of a firearm for OAL except a grip or stock.

- ATF measures OAL on long guns with folding or extendable stocks with stock unfolded and/or at full extent (at least one state, though, Michigan, measures at smallest config).

 

Since an AR pistol can have no stock, it's measured from end of buffer tube to end of barrel (which includes any permanently attached muzzle device).
 

A gray area seems to be for AR or AK pistols that do not need a buffer tube or other extension for operation, but have one added to accommodate say the SB15 brace.

Pretty sure California measures in the closed/collapsed position and it must be over 26". I think there are a few other states as well that measure the shortest length but I cannot recall which ones.

I mentioned Michigan, where for sure long guns must be 26" in folded position. Not exactly sure what the violation is though, like illegal SBR/SBS or what.

 

 

Seems that also pistols must be under 26" OAL, but again, not sure whether that means they simply can't be carried under status of permit or whether that makes them into something illegal period.
