Speaking of ARP
Here’s an AR-15 pistol with the Sig SB-15 on it. And asking if it’s legal to do that. My understanding is that the letter from the ATF says that it’s not a buttstock so it’s not a buttstock, no matter how you use it.

I actually know the guy who invented the pistol brace, and as you can imagine he has done his homework on this subject. The gist of the argument is that just because you CAN use a product in a way that it was not intended to be doesn’t change what it is. Firing a rifle with one hand does not make it a pistol. Firing a pistol with two hands (definition used by BATFE is that it is intended to be fired with one) does not make in an AOW. Since the brace is not designed to be a stock, it isn’t one, period.
I’ve actually shot an AK equipped with the brace and used it in the way it was intended. It works great and makes you feel kind of like Mega Man to have a gun strapped to your arm. I recommend it to anyone who is thinking of an AR or AK pistol.
