Hey guys, I did a little googling but couldn’t really find a direct answer, so please don’t bite my head off. Trying to do this properly and legally.
I recently purchased a used AR pistol with a shockwave brace from a dealer, according to the most recent ATF wording I have seen, it’s legal to shoulder a brace as long as you don’t make a habit of it. Final ruling on my end is the shockwave is painful to shoot and most braces are close enough to tax stamp price that I’d rather just do it “right”.
So, my question is, can I take my existing pistol and turn it into a SBR by following form 1 guidelines, or do I need to start with a brand new lower and classify it as an “other” before starting the paperwork? And lastly, can it be a pistol and be used as a pistol until the tax stamp comes back? Or does it need to be disassembled and stored until I’m given the go-ahead?
I appreciate any and all advise.
