IANAL however I did read this letter in it;s entirety and it appears to say that anybody who interpreted the AFT letter regarding the "intermittent" usage of using a pistol brace as a shoulder stock as "redesigning" the brace and thus creating an NFA firearm (can you spell FELONY) was incorrect.

If you do not alter the design of the brace in order to use it as a shoulder stock (e.g. remove the arm strap) then it is not an NFA firearm (i.e. SBR) EVEN IF YOU PUT THE BRACE TO YOUR SHOULDER.

What would be REALLY helpful is if everyone that is even remotely connected with shooting sports would bombard the ATF with inane questions seeking to clarify every possible use of such a device and get a clear answer, so that they will issue clear and unambiguous guidance that hurts the shooting community as bad as possible.

Remember, the only way we can defeat ourselves is by making sure everyone possible is aware of every aspect of pistol braces, and asking every conceivable question of the ATF without so much as pausing to take a breath until they issue formal guidance making them unlawful. Fire up your typewriters and break out the envelopes and stamps, folks!
