DO NOT put a brace on this gun it will become a illegal NFA firearm unless you do paperwork (3 - 9 months for approval) and get a $200 tax stamp first.
This is from SB Tactical website: LEGAL TO PURCHASE LEGAL TO INSTALL LEGAL TO USE and DOES NOT change your firearm's classification. Karl,I would not do it. Don't even know how to put a pistol brace on this fiream. This next statement is from SB Tactical's website so I don't see how a brace would change the firearm. The ATF has "determined that attaching a Pistol Stabilizing Brace to a firearm does NOT alter the classification of the firearm or subject the firearm to NFA control."
Karl, yes Sir you can install a Brace as long as the overall length dies not fall below 26 inches. https://www.ammoland.com/2018/03/review-sb-tactical-tac14-sbm4-brace/#axzz5tgc3NrCX
by installing the Brace you change the measurement ATF says that a firearm with a brace must be measured with the brace folded or if a non folding brace from the "receiver extension" that would make the gun under the 26 inch OAL required "Based on this letter, it is safe to say that ATF is taking the position that firearms equipped with stabilizing braces need to have their overall length measured with the brace folded or to the end of the receiver extension if the brace is stationary and non-adjustable. Adding a vertical foregrip to a firearm that has an overall length of less than 26 inches results in the making of an AOW, which is subject to the National Firearms Act."
I say if you do you better have a lawyer on retainer because the way the ATF interprets and keeps changing the rules.
"ATF is taking the place that as a result of a stabilizing brace is just not an integral a part of the firearm, it's not related to the general size measurement" so removing the original grip makes the gun to short https://blog.princelaw.com/2019/07/05/atf-rescinds-prior-methods-to-measure-a-firearms-overall-length-when-equipped-with-a-stabilizing-brace/
