AR Pistol ... or NOT ??

[andrejpetro]

Backstory: Recently ordered and received through a local FFL a POF USA Revolution 12.5” barrel. The rifle came with a vertical foreground and an arm brace from Buds Gun Shop. The paperwork I filled out was the typical papers I fill out for rifles.

Confusion: on POF website, this firearm is labeled as a pistol. Confused as to why my paperwork wasn’t representative of pistol specific transfer papers, I started researching what defines an AR pistol in 2020 and found myself spinning onto an abyss of overall lengths, where to measure from, whether or not vertical grips are legal , etc.

Now I have no idea what I even own by legal definition. Did the FFL Receiving and transferring this firearm make a mistake and use incorrect papers? Am I liable for doing the ATF paperwork and paying tax stamp?

Any guidance would be much appreciated !!

Measure from the end of the tube without the brace to the end of the muzzle, without the FH so long as it's not pinned or welded.

Thanks so much for the table! It’s clear now that I’m exempt from the NFA rules due to not having a true stock, OAL at 30”, and vertical grip. Loop-hole City haha

Per federal law, it's a pistol.
Per state law, it's not.

Don't attempt to carry it (e.g., vehicle carry) as a pistol under your CPL.
