April 2024 Update:
***Please read the entire notice to help avoid any confusion.***
Due to the current status of the pistol brace rule and with the belief the status will not change soon, the site has decided to allow braced pistols to be listed again. There are a couple of caveats:
-Any past warnings for pistol braces will stand as they were violations at the time they were issued.
-Any current listings should be edited or bumped to include the brace if desired. Duplicate ads should not be posted for the purpose of including a brace with the pistol. If you are unable to edit the original ad, report the ad and wait for guidance before reposting the item in a duplicate ad.

Hi Everyone,
After the public discussion this week following numerous reported posts, we have decided to prohibit the sale of braced, unregistered SBRs (AR Pistols) on the forum. While we do not agree with the ATF ruling in any way and hope it is quickly repealed, we have always asked that all site users follow all applicable laws in their jurisdiction whenever utilizing the forum. Under the ATF ruling, it is currently illegal for FFLs to sell braced rifles with barrels shorter than 16", unless registered as an NFA item. In the near future, it will be illegal to possess a braced AR pistol that is not registered as an NFA item. As such, effective immediately, we will ask that users do not post or attempt to buy/sell unregistered, braced AR pistols on the forum.
We will not be doing any form of lookback or removing AR pistol posts that have been listed over the past years as there are simply too many, most of which are likely not for sale anymore.
Going forward, we will prohibit the posting or the bumping (replying to) of ads for braced AR pistols*. This is effective immediately.
If you have a braced AR pistol that you would like to sell, we encourage you to follow one of two paths:
1) Remove the brace. Make a for-sale (WTS or WTT) post for the brace. Separately, make an additional for-sale post for the AR Pistol. We will not allow posts that contain both items.
*2) Register the braced AR Pistol as an NFA item. You may then post that it is an NFA item for sale and then you must follow all applicable laws to do so. If we suspect that an account is attempting to illegally sell NFA items, we will follow the typical procedure of removing the post and the account, as we have for many years.
Again, I know no one agrees with the ATF decision. We certainly do not. But, as it stands it is the law and we intend to follow it on the forum.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to discuss below.
Thanks,
Austin
