There is no logic to any of this, but that's just scratching the surface of gun laws and decisions that seem to have no foundation in reality. As far as I know, "arm brace" is a very specific term that applies only to items that have been approved for that use by the ATF.
The shoulder brace you mentioned on the M-11 is considered a stock. They have gone back and forth on whether or not people are allowed to use them as a stock by putting them to their shoulder, but as far as I know the last decision was that this is now legal. Where the confusion comes in is that the ATF has specifically stated that they do not consider these arm braces to be stocks, and therefor they can legally be installed on "pistols" with short barrels without the NFA requirements being met. Many importers also brought in versions with stocks and long barrels to meet the requirements and give customers a choice.

Submachine guns like MAC 10s and UZIs are considered pistols if they do not include a stock. If that pistol has a barrel length shorter than 16 inches, then adding a stock to it creates an illegal SBR. By the ATF's definition, putting a stock onto a pistol automatically makes it a rifle. It is illegal to possess a rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches without the proper NFA stamp. I'm not a lawyer or expert of any kind so don't take this as legal advice, but here is my understanding of the situation. In both cases it was just as illegal to take a dedicated handgun and convert it into a rifle as it is to take a dedicated rifle and chop off part of the barrel and butt stock making it into a handgun, I don't see this modification as being any M. My friend found out about a month later that having the parts in his possession was perfectly legal, but having it and a 1911 in his possession at the same time was a NFA felony same as owning an unlicensed machine gun. The semi auto versions did not come with the either shoulder brace or strap, I inquired about installing an after market shoulder brace on my M-11 and was told that it would be illegal unless I had a NFA permit and paid the $200.00 transfer tax.Īnother example, at about the same time period a friend of mine legally purchased a kit for his 1911 Colt pistol, the kit included a 16" barrel and a wooden shoulder stock that hooked to the main spring housing, which when all installed turned the 1911 into a neat little.

The full auto versions came with a shoulder brace that extended from two rods held on to the sides of the pistols frame and also with a sling type strap hung from a ring bracket where the barrel stuck out of the barrel shroud, this was to keep your weak hand from getting in front of the muzzle while firing and to help keep the muzzle down in full auto mode. Along with a robust, steel, made in America hinge and adapter system, we include an SB Tactical SOB Arm Brace, a Magpul MOE Grip and all the hardware necessary to turn your Tac-14 into the ultimate close quarters weapon.I'm wondering about the legality of the brace on a pistol, why, I can remember back to the late '80's I had a Cobray M-11 9mm pistol, Mac 10's and Mac -11's were also made in full auto versions that fire from an open bolt, later Mac pistols like my M-11 that were semi auto fired from a closed bolt. The power of the 12 gauge and 20 gauge demands a much more robust hinge system at its heart and that is what we make the center of this kit. They are weak and will inevitably break due to the plastic construction and insufficiently robust hinge mechanism. Most folding braces on the market were designed for light recoiling weapons, or made overseas from plastic components. Now we bring the next evolution of this concept, the Suarez Tac-14 Folding Arm Brace System. And the advent of the "Arm Brace" has combined with it to form a truly spectacular, adaptable, and modern weapon. The short "non-shotgun" weapons have revitalized the shotgun world and allowed these weapons to become a viable modern self-defense, close quarters choice.
