"PRESS RELEASE: SB Tactical™ Announces Reversal of ATF Open Letter on the Use of SB Tactical Pistol Stabilizing Braces®

SB Tactical_ATF Reversal of Open Letter Position

Saint Petersburg, Fla. (April, 25, 2017) – SB Tactical™, inventors and manufacturers of the Pistol Stabilizing Brace®, is excited to announce that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) has issued SB Tactical a reversal letter containing a sensible clarification of the Bureau’s position on the lawful use of SB Tactical braces.
The new clarification of opinion letter states, “an NFA firearm has not necessarily been made when the device is not reconfigured for use as a shoulder stock – even if the attached firearm happens to be fired from the shoulder. To the extent that the January 2015 Open Letter implied or has been construed to hold that incidental, sporadic, or situational “use” of an arm-brace (in its original approved configuration) equipped firearm from a firing position at or near the shoulder was sufficient to constitute “redesign,” such interpretations are incorrect and not consistent with ATF’s interpretation of the statute or the manner in which it has historically been enforced.”
SB Tactical, along with the law offices of Mark Barnes & Associates, have worked tirelessly for more than two years to correct what they believed to be an inaccurate interpretation of “redesign,” related to the Pistol Stabilizing Brace. “It has always been our belief that the addition of our Pistol Stabilizing Brace benefits shooters, both disabled and able-bodied, and that neither strapping it to your arm nor shouldering a brace equipped pistol would constitute ‘redesign’ of a pistol to a NFA firearm”, said Alex Bosco, inventor, founder and CEO of SB Tactical. “We are strongly encouraged by the ATF’s reversal of opinion and commend their willingness to continually review policy, including their own opinions, to ensure public safety and the fulfillment of their mission.”
Both SB Tactical and Mark Barnes & Associates are proud to be at the forefront of protecting and preserving the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. Mark Barnes echoed Bosco’s praise of the ATF’s new guidance and stated that “it’s clear that the Bureau has no intention or desire to prosecute law abiding citizens using SB Tactical Pistol Stabilizing Braces. Their decision to act should be commended.”

When I got my stabilizing brace I immediately took it out of the box, put it on my shoulder, and ran around the house saying "You talking to me?"

Does this mean it is now legal to install it on my pistol?

Looks like someone will lose their shirt if that letter is accurate.

Lots of money invested wasted and no market for the product.

If the letter is accurate.

What I read, I believe this only applies to SB's brace, not all braces

Which means someone was smart at SB and knew they had to provide gifts to the NFA to make them the only manufacturer of a brace that can be shouldered

I agree, for the time being, only SB seems to get the green light.

After browsing their website, which is the first and most i have ever looked at pistol braces.....$150-300 to avoid a $200 stamp....seriously?
I get it the wait sucks. Its been anywhere from 2 months to 12 months since i got in the game. I get it, its all unconstitutional.
But really, $150-300 to have a retarded looking "stock" that you cant adjust LOP and always have to run nose to CH?
