re: The new brace law or whatever.

Your Uzi is an SBR because it has a stock, a stock is not a brace so no it's not the same thing.

tell me what the practical difference is between that uzi "stock" and an AR pistol "brace". i can pull one hex bolt and drop the underfolder off the uzi. i can shoot the firearm with one hand with a pistol grip with the stock folded (or no stock at all). i can shoot the uzi arms extended with the stock unfolded and use it as a stabilizing brace.

here is an AR pistol with a brace, shouldered.



when shouldered my uzi looks exactly the same

I hate boating accidents

I know nothing of what exactly you're discussing, BUT

for all those that say "They'll never come take my guns" (for whatever reason)

this is an example of deal,

they will just make it "illegal", and then you (not the sheriff's dept) will have to make the decision,

Do I own an illegal piece of property that may send me to prison that I keep hidden in my gun safe, or do I turn it in?

They don't have to "Come take it away" to take it away.

I have a 556 pistol, I've considered getting a 7.62x39 upper. I won't.

I get cgrand's point about braces 'in the real world'. I'm not a large frame guy, that short length of a brace isn't unpleasant to "accidently" assume a stance one shouldn't with such a firearm.

Here's my final opinion on this: my pistol shoots steel 223 with barely any recoil. The brace can come off and leave just the buffer tube, and with my red dot sight, I can shoot quickly and accurately with the firearm touching nothing but my hands.
I have a carbine in 7.62x39, and I don't think it would be as comfortable in that configuration. Just a little too much thumping around.

I think the option to "permanently alter the brace and not sell it" means the actual brace; you have to render it useless.

The issue with these aren't sitting in the safe. My concern is riding with the pistols in the car or self defense event. Generally people that get an NFA violation had bigger issues at hand.
