Izzat yours? I'd love something like that for both my .300blk SBR & my 18" 6.8.
 
I thought the only reason the charged him was because he "modified" the brace making the overall lenght of pull to exceed 13.5" which according to ATF is illegal but what the defense proved was they measured his trigger to end of brace at an diagonal so it made it longer but when the defense measured it on a straight line it was below 13.5" so the jury found him not guilty.

I was told by SB Tatical if your brace extends over 13.5" from the trigger, you have to find a way to keep it from extending such as gluing the lever tight or gluing it to the buffer tube where you cant slide it back.
 
Does somebody know what regulation is being used for 13.5" LOP? I've read a lot of statutes and regulations and I don't recall ever seeing it.

I saw somewhere that said it was from an memo that wasn’t released to the public but to a manufacturer.

There are no statutes or even regulations regarding this arbitrary number. It is simply ATF "interpretation." "Well, if the LOP is over 13.5", it must be a stock instead of a brace."

Look for similar "interpretation" if/when they ban bump stocks. The statute is very clear in its definition of a machine gun and a bump stock does not fall under that definition. The interpretation will be convoluted reasoning on why bump stocks "should" count as machine guns and are, therefore, verboten.

That was the crux of the dismissal of the case. There was no way to know of any arbitrary limit on LOP. Although I can tell you, 13.5" is plenty for my use of a 5.56 or a Grendel pistol, once you step into the .458 realm.... an extra half inch might be really nice :D
