In light of the proposed ATF 'rule' change regarding a brace on an AR-15 pistol, I've been thinking about buying a 16" upper to replace the 10.5" barrel that I have now, which according to the current rules makes my gun a rifle instead of a pistol, true? And as such I can put a foregrip on it too, right? I'd rather spend the $200 on a longer upper than give them effers $200.
Okay, first off we really have no idea what they plan to do, everything about this so called ban is still up in the air. Secondly if the ATF follows through with this "ban" the lawsuits will come fast and furious as it appears the ATF is trying to rewrite the NFA which is outside of their constitutional scope. While it is never sure what will happen in the courts it's relatively safe to think this will not pass Constitutional muster.In light of the proposed ATF 'rule' change regarding a brace on an AR-15 pistol, I've been thinking about buying a 16" upper to replace the 10.5" barrel that I have now, which according to the current rules makes my gun a rifle instead of a pistol, true?

That is incorrect.The problem is if your lower is registered as a pistol it must remain a pistol.
Oh and even a compete 16" budget upper will set you back around $300 +.In light of the proposed ATF 'rule' change regarding a brace on an AR-15 pistol, I've been thinking about buying a 16" upper to replace the 10.5" barrel that I have now, which according to the current rules makes my gun a rifle instead of a pistol, true?

You can remove the stock and fit the receiver with a shorter than 16" barrel then add a brace and be GTG...For now.So, if I saw off my rifle so it is more like a pistol, it's against the law but, if I move the stock it's not? Sorry for my ignorance here, I guess I just don't get it.
You can get a foam sleeve for the buffer tube, they're cheap. For stability add a single point tactical sling.Okay, so I remove the stupid temporary plastic brace thing on the end and no foregrip and now it's a pistol, right? With this metal tube sticking out. Assuming the proposed rule change is what we have been led to believe. Or, I can spend the money to acquire a 16" upper and attach it to my AR-15, right? That cheap-ass plastic thing is all but worthless anyway, don't know why they put it on the gun cuz it doesn't stabilize anything and has no recoil absorption. If I'm going to use that gun for anything, it's gotta have some kind of stock or brace on it that is usable.
Not just remove it but alter the firearm such as the brace cannot be reattached.If you added the brace/blade yourself then all you have to do is remove it.
My son put a red dot on his AR pistol and shoots it from the hip.Okay, so I remove the stupid temporary plastic brace thing on the end and no foregrip and now it's a pistol, right?

We're still not sure if that will be the ATF's final ruling. I'll wait and see what they are going to do then watch the results of all the lawsuits and injunctions that will most likely be filed.Not just remove it but alter the firearm such as the brace cannot be reattached.

And that won’t be until April of next year.We're still not sure if that will be the ATF's final ruling. I'll wait and see what they are going to do then watch the results of all the lawsuits and injunctions that will most likely be filed.
Someone leaked that they will release the new rules this Dec 28th but of course that is still speculation. I'm still taking a wait and see because the ATF, a law enforcement agency appears to be rewriting the NFA, something that is beyond their Constitutional authority. We'll see if they do it and what the courts have to say about it.And that won’t be until April of next year.
Won’t hurt to start planning now.
Looks like a standard .223/5.56 magazine in the picture or just a .223.
