USA 1SHOT: The NFA-compliant Glock stock that is not (a stock)
In the past few years, gun makers (Sig anyone?) have been all aglow about making shooting braces that fit the rear of AR and AK pistols that don’t need a tax stamp. Now it seems a maker has come up with a similar solution to help turn your average Glock into an NFA-compliant SBR that technically isn’t an SBR.
What these things are (a crash course)
According to the National Firearms Act of 1934 (the NFA), arms that the government thought to be too dangerous for over the counter sales, such as machine guns, suppressors, and short barreled rifles (SBRs) and shotguns, were regulated with an obscene $200 tax and special requirements to obtain one of these registered devices. When you take into account that $200 in 1934 is some $3500 in today’s dollars, you can see why this was thought so unachievable.
In regulating short-barreled rifles, the NFA states that any modern rifle less than 26-inches overall had to be registered and so regulated. However, as long as a pistol did not have a buttstock, and was made from the beginning as a handgun, it could be shorter than this requirement. That’s where these braces come in at by meeting these requirements.
You see currently there are RONI CAA Carbine conversions that may or may not need a tax stamp depending on if it mounts a stock or forward grip or not, as well as others, but now you also have…
