AR pistol at a public range

[THE BIG SITT]

So I have a friend... he has an AR pistol with an arm brace. He needs to zero in his scope on this pistol. He was going to take said pistol to an indoor range to zero the scope, but he worries he will catch flack if his arm brace accidentally makes contact with his shoulder as if it were a stock. Should he be concerned about this? Should he maybe just take the arm brace off?

Slip the brace off...

Do they check tax stamps at the range for NFA items? If not....

If he put the Brace on with the intent of shouldering it then there's a problem. If he truly accidentally shoulders it then there's no problem. Most indoor ranges have little or no viewing from the sides so the chance of someone seeing him accidentally shouldering it is fairly minimal.

Dammit! What a time to be out of rep. I was thinking the same thing but decided to respond as if he was going to a Pro 2A range.

Pro 2A range.

This is all that should matter.

Perhaps the range won't care, but one must always be careful of busy bodies out and about.

Just have him shoot it outdoors in the Free World.

Unfortunately that's where my friend was thinking about going...

Perhaps you haven't notice Harry, but it's freezing outside!

Yea, I have noticed. When someone can guarantee me that I will be attacked when it's warm outside I might not practice in the harsher elements.
I was outside shooting a couple of days ago and my newer Spikes lower wouldn't hold Magpul Gen3 mags unless I took them down to 28 rounds. That was nice to know.

Put a bipod on it. That will make it easy to hold steady while you zero.

 

[Roadie]

Can you bipod a pistol without some ATF flunky deciding it is a "Forward Grip" ?

That's the problem these days. Too many busy bodies and not enough mind your own damn businesses.

 

[THE BIG SITT]

If the pistol is over 26" you can have a foregrip.

Shouldn't this be in the handgun subsection?

Indeed it should. Moveded it.
