That is another possibilityAnyone consider the photo they used of the SBR they sell that was posted as the new firearm is just that And not what the new one looks like kind of like automakers cloaking the new models so they are not copied before production.
I don't think anyone should be guessing it will come with a standard binary trigger or that some kind of hint can be gained from them photoshopping the rail.
They did not use a real photo of it because they know it would be put under the microscope.
So. ATF has confirmed that no letter has been issued for this firearm according to recoil web

It would appear to be a correct statementSo they read our posts and came to the same conclusion.
Texas penal code 46.01
Does not define a rifle.
(10) "Short-barrel firearm" means a rifle with a barrel length of less than 16 inches or a shotgun with a barrel length of less than 18 inches, or any weapon made from a shotgun or rifle if, as altered, it has an overall length of less than 26 inches.
46.05a1. or otherwise not subject to that registration
So legal in Texas if true. Interesting
Marketing.With all the pistol braces especially the ones that collapse, I am suprised they even bothered going this route intead of desiging another brace for pistols and marketing that.
Yep... Just look at all the free publicity that they've gotten by just the *hint* of this thing...Marketing.
It pays to be the first for sure. Hopefully in their case it pays in a good way.Marketing.

That's what I was going for in my second sentence. It pays to be first, but not always in a good way.When dealing with the ATF and lawyers, perhaps it pays better to be second. Just catch wind of what the first guy is doing, make your own prototype and test, then stand by for mass production if the first guy gets it approved selling it a bit cheaper.
First guy won't really ramp up production until approval anyway, and you get to process a streamlined application based on precedent and avoid most of the lawyer fees and headaches.
Of you could always charge the same or more money and pass it off because of your name like the big R is doing to Mossberg.
The rifling is there to stabilize the bullet and increase accuracy.
