To lawfully add a vertical fore grip to a handgun, a person must make an appropriate application on ATF Form 1, “Application to Make and Register a Firearm.” The applicant must submit the completed form, along with a fingerprint card bearing the applicant’s fingerprints; a photograph; and $200.00. The application will be reviewed by the NFA Branch. If the applicant is not prohibited from possessing a firearm under Federal, State, or local law, and possession of an “AOW” is not prohibited in the applicant’s State of residence, the form will be approved. Only then may the person add a vertical fore grip to the designated handgun.
So does that mean since I am going to put an angled foregrip opposed to a vertical grip I will not need to fill out a Form 1 for the NFA?ATF has long held that by installing a vertical fore grip on a handgun, the handgun is no longer designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand. Therefore, if individuals install a vertical fore grip on a handgun, they are “making” a firearm requiring registration with ATF’s NFA Branch. Making an unregistered “AOW” is punishable by a fine and 10 years’ imprisonment. Additionally, possession of an unregistered “AOW” is also punishable by fine and 10 years’ imprisonment.
I would advise against it for two reasons:Reca wrote:Ok I read, re-read, then read it one more time and this part still leaves asking...

Grip in question
Thanks again.
2. The designed purpose of the AFG is to allow you to grasp it more comfortably with the second hand, violating the above rule. That is exactly what they would go after you for.ATF has long held that by installing a vertical fore grip on a handgun, the handgun is no longer designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand.
You mean Tech Branch, right?ImmortalArms wrote:I was going to send you the letter, but it looks like you already have it. Yes, the AFG is legal. I have confirmed this the NFA branch myself.
Thats exactly what I intend to doChingon wrote:Joe,
If you get a stamp, might as well get a stamp for an SBR lower.
a stamp... hehehehehhehe thats funny. You start with "A" stamp, and then it becomes 10, and then 20, and before you know it you've got nothing but NFA in your collection. Its a disease I tell you.Chingon wrote:Joe,

Fifty-six, actually. Fifty-five visible, one I found stuck to the back of another form as I was picking them up after the picture. There are a few other forms I have floating around that haven't made it into the master file for whatever reason. Anyway, there are a couple of duplicates for silencers, since I consider them wear items. There are also a few that appear to be duplicates but are not - one manufacturer calls all of his silencers the same model name, even though the ones I have are integrals on Ruger pistols, Ruger rifles, CZ rifles, and even a 9mm pistol can.jdonovan wrote:61.... are there dupes i.e. same make/models or are they all unique?
