The current guidance, see the FAQ question 9, basically says they don’t care. Here’s the answer to the question “I POSSESS A PISTOL, WHICH WAS IMPORTED AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY EQUIPPED WITH A STABILIZING BRACE. DOES 18 U.S.C. § 922(R) APPLY TO MY FIREARM?”
“No. Section 922(r), in relevant part, makes it unlawful to assemble from imported parts a semiautomatic rifle that is otherwise not importable. The implementing regulations of the GCA at 27 CFR 478.39 provides that a person may not assemble a semiautomatic rifle using more than 10 of the imported parts listed in the relevant paragraphs of the regulation. As discussed in section IV.B.8.e of the final rule, the criminal violation under section 922(r) is for the “assembly” of the semiautomatic rifle; therefore, no modification of such firearm would cure the 922(r) violation because the “assembly” has already occurred. Accordingly, a person with an imported pistol that was subsequently equipped with a “stabilizing brace” will have the same options as anyone else under the final rule. Should that person choose to register the firearm, no further modification of the firearm with domestic parts is required.”
Basically, I wish I waited for this before Form 1ing my APC. I could have saved $200 and not had to get it engraved. The engraving on mine doesn’t look good.
I SBRed my only import a few years ago, so I ducked the whole 922(r) issue by flinging money at it.
I’m lovin’ the ruling that SBRs registered under this can retain the maker’s markings without adding anything, which makes sense from the standpoint of their opinion that they were SBRs from birth and marked then. That’s saving me a fair amount of money.

Congress finally taking noting of the ATF brace action:
Compliant people are easier to conquer. The BATFE know this and count on it. Look at how many are already complying with an unconstitutional rule.
The more that comply shifts the burden to those that don't comply and push the fight on all fronts.
If ZERO people applied for the FREE permission slip what signal and impact would that have on overturning this?
Its disappointing that so many Americans choose comfort and security over liberty.
Are you loyal to the constitution or the “institution”?
