Pistol Brace/Stock Information and Warning

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Background: The BATF has created FINAL RULE 2021R08F

A brace on a firearm/pistol is now considered the same as a stock and is a NFA item.

Possession of an NFA item without being registered as such will constitute a felony and will get you thrown in jail.

To give perspective, adding a brace or stock to a firearm (pistol) now constitutes a NFA item same as a full auto machine gun and without filing a Form 1 with the ATF you will go to jail unless it is registered as a NFA item with the BATF.

The items for sale on this site may allow for a firearm to become an NFA item if put together. You must register your pistol with BATF if putting on a stock or brace (which is now a stock).

It is your responsibility to know

the law.

Below are resources to help navigate the new brace ruling.
