It seems like they are going after those as SBRs too.
I think slick tubes or nerf tube should be safe since they have been around since at least the 1990s, but no.

Is this sarcasm? Tough to tell in print sometimes. Old ATF letters mean nothing, only current ones.I have a "letter" from "Mother (ATF)" that says mine is OK.

To be clear, doing that is already allowed.Probably. It looks like they are going to allow pistol owners to throw 16+ barrel on there and make it a rifle.
Correct. Not yet, at least.There is no current one that says it's illegal
that’s why I buy random stuff on sale. Years ago Davison Defense had 16” barrels with gas tube, block, and brake… for around $60. Bought as much as I couldHey at least AR pistol barrels will be getting cheap.
Also I didn't see it specifically mentioned anywhere but one should be able to permanently afix a muzzle device to a short barrel bringing the length over 16 inches making it a rifle.
Looks like 16+ barrels are about to become real popular, I better secure my next project barrel.
How many of these braced firearms have been sold over the years? 10s of millions would be my guess. It will be interesting to watch the legal challenges and if it gets past those, who the government chooses to use as high profile examples.
My vote is that most will ignore the new rules.

How short is that? Does it take a standard carbine buffer? Or a shorter AR10 buffer.
18 and yes!How short is that? Does it take a standard carbine buffer? Or a shorter AR10 buffer.
Hmmm .......but I think people back then did not trust .gov like they do now.

I'll probably just pull the brace off my 10.5" and it will be a stupid pistol and for my 11.5 I'll just try to find an XM177 style flash hider that's 4.5" long and pin/weld it on there. That's about the best option for me I think. It's all so dumb. I'll see about maybe trying to find aluminum because the whole point of the braced pistol was to give my small wife a more weildy AR to be as light as possible
Maybe that number represents the ones SOLD as a complete pistol. Almost every owner I know who has one (or a dozen) built them themselves from stripped lowers and parts. So how would the ATF even know about these unless the owners filled out the amnesty request? They would have to get the customer sales info on pistol length uppers and short barrels as well as pistol braces. That seems like a monumental and $$$$ task.but there's only been like 10 million or less AR pistols sold since the 1990s including the ones sold with the slick tube...
I believe it will make the overall length 16" (legal) since I will be permanently attached but then it's essentially a carbine sized AR, wh8ch doesn't do much for my wife since the whole point was to make it more compact and light.I like this idea. Would it then be a legal rifle??
Heck I have a Bull Pup (28 inches) and the overall length is not that much different .

I don't want to SBR anything.. I suppose I should see if I can hunt down a couple muzzle devices that would get me to legal length before there is a run on those and become expensive... guess I'll be buying a couple stocks too......
