    Ok, it getting closer to d-day. Whats is everyones opinion on what to do if you have a pistol brace on a firearm. I have a CZ Scorpion that I love to shoot and I need to know what I should do because it is on the list of bad scary firearms. Thanks to any help in this matter. Do I need to plan a boat accident?

    If you're worried you can take the brace off the buffer tube at the very least. What you do with the brace is up to you.

    In theory you're supposed to destroy it or turn it in. Not sure how they'd know if you ever had one or not.

    Can I still take it to the range and shoot it after that?

    CZ Scorpion doesn't have a buffer tube. At least with an AR pistol, you can take the brace off and install a foam pad buffer tube for a cheek weld, or fire it from the shoulder with a very short length of pull. A CZ Scorpion is kinda useless without a brace or stock, IMO.

    I'd do a Form 1 and make it an SBR or sell it if it was mine.

    You can shoot it without the tube or the brace attached. It's just an unwieldy pistol at that point.

    The tube is not part of the operating system, unlike an AR, so I think the legality of leaving the tube on it without the brace would be iffy.

    What is this about?



    Best I can tell it's about individuals who take an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the States and then turn around to rape and shred it over their career.

    In spare time, they might shoot your dog, murder your wife, and murder your child.

    There seems to be a surplus of control freaks.

    Scum of the scum.

    What is this about?
    It shows the ATF Director saying under oath in Congress that all you have to do is detach the brace and store away from the gun, to be in compliance. shortly after after that testimony, the ATF sent out advisory that you are a felon if you do what the director says, because the brace itself is illegal And must be destroyed.
