Hi, I was contemplating the nauseating minutia of ATF pistol regulations. Specifically I was wondering about the foregrip laws which say that a "pistol" may not have a vertical foregrip. I have two questions here:
1) Does this mean only 90 degree grips, or is it more vague and the guys running AFGs on their pistols are in a legal grey area? Could I for instance put on an 80 degree grip?
2) What if I have a gun with a magazine well in front of the trigger and pistol grip, but a barrel less than 16 inches, the magwell can be gripped like a foregrip and is around 90 degrees. Picture an MP-40 like gun where the ATF would call it a pistol, but would the magwell that is meant to be used as a foregrip too make it illegal?
