Newington, N. H. – -(Ammoland.com)- SIG SAUER, Inc. has issued the following statement relative to the January 2015 open opinion letter issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms regarding the SB15 and SBX Pistol Stabilizing Braces.

BATFE Technical Branch issued an open opinion letter dated January 16, 2015 regarding the Pistol Stabilizing Brace (SB15 and SBX) which is marketed by SIG SAUER.

Contrary to several statements subsequently made in social media, this opinion letter did not make or otherwise declare that the SB15 product is illegal.

The BATFE letter stated that the SB15 is a product “which is legal to own, legal to purchase and legal to install on a pistol.” SIG SAUER believes that the PSB enhances the shooter’s experience and offers the products as an accessory and pre-installed on a number of pistols.

In all of its opinions, BATFE has consistently stated that a pistol with a stabilizing brace attached remains a pistol under the Gun Control Act when used as designed.

I’m thinking about getting one of the Sig braces for my 300 BLK build. It will save on another $200 stamp for SBR !

ATF is corrupt as hell !

The February 20th issue of Shotgun News features an article showing how to build a “Faux SBR” (their terminology) with an 11.5 inch barrel using the SIG brace. Do you think the ATF will want to make an example out of the person who builds that gun and shoots M855 ball ammo out of it?

Legal to produce and sell. Illegal to use like 99% of users will use it. Just like radar detectors.

Sorry but using one and being a felon is just hearsay away. The ATF will want to make examples regarding this so if you dare be prepared to lose.
