Surface area RE: Brace Ruling
The brace ruling thread ( https://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=393903 ) has gotten large, and I feel this question could get lost there, so...
There is talk about 'surface area' determining if a buffer tube (or attachment) is a stock.
- Is there an objective measurement/method for this?
- Does a pistol buffer tube - cylindrical, larger diameter than mil-spec or commercial - fall under or over the above measurement?
- Does a cheek pad (a.k.a. foam condom) now constitute a stock because of surface area? What about a crutch tip used to keep the pistol from slipping in the rack?
Inquiring minds...

Re: Surface area RE: Brace Ruling
According to my ffl...
If it has a buffer tube, and needs a buffer tube, and has nothing else, it's ok. If it has a buffer tube, but does not need a buffet tube, it's not ok. If it has a buffer tube, needs a buffer tube, and has a fin/brace/stock, it's an sbr. A foam pad for your cheek is ok.

As of today if the buffer tube is part of the operation of the pistol you are good. Who knows what they will alterp the deal to a year from now

What law are we referring to here?

Re: Surface area RE: Brace Ruling
I remember it the other way, they didn't care about the tube until you put the stock on it. If what you remember is true then how have braces that use carbine tubes been legal up to this point? As long as braces have been a thing, carbine tubes have been legal on pistols.
Not looking for an argument, I get what you are saying, just pointing out the ATFs idiocy.
My AR pistol has a rail that will readily accept a VFG, my AR rifle lower will readily accept an AR pistol upper, neither of those things make it an SBR until they are actually mated together.The Hostler
