ATF Gun Classification Decoded

[rebby]

The one thing i see that i read differently was that verticle foregrips were ok on pistols now as well.

I don't remember where i read it and it didn't apply to my rifle anyway.

VFGs are fine as long as OAL>26”. Based on recent interpretations, OAL (in this case) is measured with the gun in it’s most compact configuration. For example, the brace fully collapsed or the gun folded (if equipped with something like a LAW Tactical folder).

This is one of those areas with enough ambiguity that I strongly recommend against a VFG unless it is essentially required by the shooter for some reason (like some sort of hand injury). The various AFGs on the market are always an option.

Full disclosure, I’m not a fan of a forward VFGs on any configuration (SBR, AOW, or rifle), that’s just my personal bias creeping in though.
