There is now an official version in the Federal Register.

TNhuntsman. Depending on the brace, you may be OK. If you read the article, it describes some of the things you need to avoid. It sounds like you made an honest, good faith effort. If your brace makes a crappy shoulder stock, that helps. Pretty much any feature that makes it function better as a shoulder stock, or makes it less useful as a forearm brace is a problem. You need to watch out for little things like a rifle scope that has an eyebox that is only useful if it is shouldered.
The article mentions that there may be an amnesty of sorts. If you really want to use it as an SBR and don't mind dealing with the NFA, you may be able to register it for free. I say "might" because this is proposed, not certain.
