It's not pushing the limit, Thordsen has been out for years.
Note the element under the cover - which can have a rail attached. And attached to that, a hand stop, with the flat vertical surface to the rear, and hole to use as a sling attachment.
Stock, or not?
We as the general public and interested shooters would like to know: illegal or not? Better to ask and know than risk and lose - and we would lose our 2A rights entirely because we came up with a divergent view of those tasked to enforce what Congress passed as law.
The BATF doesn't automatically win, either, but they have much deeper pockets and we don't always get a national level organization to take up our case as a project.
So, we DO need to push, or our own lack of knowledge, or excessive risk taking, could be the wrong decision. Most of these decision are not clear cut, could not be previously considered, and clarity does not exist until an effort is made to consider all the elements.
Oh, the stop attached under the tube cover? Sorry, thumbs down, it creates a vertical flat surface to be used as a buttstock, which pistol doesn't need apparently, according to the letter to that questioner.
Don't push and the Wrist Brace wouldn't exist. The BATF isn't in the business of figuring out how to limit our Rights because CONGRESS ALREADY DID THAT AND THEN DELEGATED THEM TO ENFORCE IT.
It's not about the BATF, they have their plate full and frankly, the brace has likely reduced applications and substantially shortened the back log. It also gave shooters a new look at the uses of a pistol vs sbr and whether there is really a need to spend $200 for a stamp that many didn't want to purchase.
BUT - don't push it and we would still be waiting 9 months for an answer? When we could already own a pistol with every other feature exactly the same, just no stock? Accuracy isn't affected that much, bu the legal distinctions between pistol and rifle, their use, possession, and transport raise the question is the $200 really worth the more restricted use?
Don't push it and we'd never see what the alternatives offer - and how silly some of the SBR provsions really are in comparison.
Don't push it and we'd still be waving a red lantern as we walked in front of our motor carriage going down the street.
Don't push it and we'd still only have a few states who allow CCW.
Don't push it and we'd all be using traditional wood and blued steel guns with manual bolt actions. Ironic to hear some AR owners saying "Don't push it."
Sounds like they think they are victims of the system, not the employers of Congress and the government. Once that mindset settles in, we don't own the government, the government owns us.
Don't push it and some in government will just keep limiting our Rights and what guns we can own.
WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT, we need to push it because WE are in charge.
