So unless the same person received both letters, there's no contradiction.

This is my surprised face.
Stupid law may be stupid, but a ton of forum posts and youtube videos out there of dudes clearly using the sig brace a buttstock and stating they are using it as an end run around the NFA, it was a matter of time. It doesn't mean that's not all a bunch of ridiculous bullcrap, but it is what it is. Even if it's based in incorrect interpretation, it's still pretty flagrant.

Yea, pretty much this hits the heart of the issue. If everyone had quietly used their Sig Braces however they want, this would be a non issue. I wait with baited breath to see what happens next. I imagine the BATF feels this is a If You Give a Mouse a Cookie-type situation.

The prince law blog seems to support josh S's take on this.

In another timeline, the National Revolver Association didn't lobby to remove handguns from the NFA and the whole thing got shot down in a SCOTUS case in '36 when some Boston housewife got railroaded for the Colt 1903 in her purse.
Or, write letters demanding the reform of government regulatory enforcement activities.

Someone needs to start selling a "barrel counterweight" for T/C pistols that protrudes rearward à la an AR receiver extension. This is bad law, stemming from parliamentary goofiness and legislative clumsiness, and trying to build an entire just and logical jurisprudential structure on it is gayer than the front three rows at a Cher concert.
Seriously. Stop trying to beard the lion.
