On Friday, January, 13, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) posted the “final” Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached “Stabilizing Braces” rule to its website.
The proposed rule was first posted by the agency in June 2021. And, is the most recent in a long line of ATF guidance, rulings, and rules regarding firearms with attached stabilizing braces.
The text posted to ATF’s website has not yet been submitted to the federal register, so it is not technically a “final” rule yet, but it likely will be posted in the coming week.
