Hello all. I was recently at a gun show shopping for vertical foregrips. One of the guys said that if I planned to mount it on my AR-15, I would need to get special registration or do some extra paperwork because according to the ATF, the foregrip would modify it to whats called an "AOW" (all other weapon). I've done some Googling on this topic and it seems all confusing. The actual AFT law says its illegal to mount it on a 'handgun' and 'pistol' that is designed for on handed use. Correct me if im wrong but an AR-15 is a rifle. yes? It is designed to be held up and fired with 2 hands. So why do I keep seeing posts about foregrips being illegal on a AR pistol? Is there a difference between AR pistol & AR Rifle?
Anyone who can explain it in lamens terms would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
