Please clarify these are correct. It came from:

Keeping Your AR-15 Pistol Build Legal | USCCA

A modern AR-15 pistol can be obtained complete or assembled with user-selected components. But it pays to know the rules!

www.usconcealedcarry.com

An AR-pistol cannot have a length of pull more than 13.5"

Overall length cannot exceed 26" to be considered a pistol. That is without a muzzle device.

If your pistol falls below those measurements, should it matter what kind of buffer tube you use?

1. An AR-pistol cannot have a length of pull more than 13.5"

2. Overall length cannot exceed 26" to be considered a pistol. That is without a muzzle device.

I would disagree with both 1 & 2.

1. There’s been one letter, by one ATF employee, to one company, that mentioned the 13.5” LOP issue. I wouldn’t say that makes it a done deal across the board.

2. There’s no federal limit to a pistol length. Some states (SC is one, and I think it’s 12”?) have a max length. The current way to measure a pistol for OAL is different from a rifle. Neither include muzzle devices that aren’t perm attached. But a rifle needs to have stock fully extended/unfolded. A pistol is measured in the folded position if applicable, and if no folder present, the brace is to be removed first.

If it’s at least 26” it can still be a pistol. But if you add a forward grip it becomes a firearm. If it’s under 26” OAL (a pistol) and you add that grip it becomes an unregistered AOW.

I don’t know why buffer tube type would matter…but I’m also wrapping up a 15.5 hour shift and may be missing some hypothetical situations.

On the draft of form 4999 a lop over 13.5 is enough points to fail.

So, assuming they do go ahead with the points system this summer, keep that in mind...

How do I measure lop when there is no stock?

The over 26inches just means atf stops caring about vfgs

Atf says a lot of things that are lies
