Our coverage from the 2015 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada – STAY TUNED!
Here’s some unfortunate news from the 2015 SHOT Show, apparently a one off titanium AR15 bolt carrier group was stolen from the LanTac booth. It was the only one in existence. I’m surprised this doesn’t occur more often at the SHOT Show with the vast number of people who attend the show. If you know where the carrier is please do the right thing and return it.
From LanTac’s Facebook page:
Lantac USA is sad to have to make this post A one off Titanium EBCG LanTac Carrier, the only one in existence was stolen from our booth during show hours! It doesn’t get much lower thank that. The Ti EBCG is the LanTac Pat Pend Forward porting BCG, the lower one in the pic without the forward assist serrations. If anyone can give us information of the whereabouts that leads to the return we will give you a reward. San Tan Tactical just called and added two matched billet sets to the reward. I love you man! Please can everyone post this everywhere! Thank you to the FB community for your support
In case you missed it the ATF released a letter right before the 2015 SHOT Show stating that shouldering the SIG brace is now illegal. Well Sig Sauer released a statement of their own at the SHOT Show, check it out below.
A Statement Regarding the SIG SAUER® Pistol Stabilizing Brace.
NEWINGTON, N.H. (January 21, 2015)—SIG SAUER, Inc., has issued the following statement about the recent opinion by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in regard to the SB15 and SBX pistol stabilizing braces.
“As reaffirmed in an Open Letter by ATF’s Firearms and Ammunition Technology Division dated January 16, 2015, the Pistol Stabilizing Brace (SB15 and SBX) is legal to own, legal to purchase, and legal to install on a pistol. SIG SAUER® believes that the PSB improves the single-handed shooting performance of buffer tube equipped pistols, and offers the product both as an accessory and pre-installed on a number of pistols.
“The Open Letter goes further to rescind a previous private letter regarding the ‘intent’ of the user of the pistol stabilizing brace. In the letter of January 16, 2015, ATF opines that a person’s actual use of the product as a shoulder stock can change the legal classification of the product. However, the Open Letter explicitly states: “ATF hereby confirms that if used as designed—to assist shooters in stabilizing a handgun while shooting with a single hand—the device is not considered a shoulder stock and therefore may be attached to a handgun without making a NFA firearm.”
“We question ATF’s reversal in position that the classification of the brace may be altered by its use. We are reviewing the legal precedents and justification for this position, and will address our concerns with ATF in the near future.
“We will vigorously defend the classification of all of our products and our consumers’ right to use them in accordance with the law. If we find that the open letter opinion is outside the scope of the law, we will seek further review.”

Looks like the ATF has changed their mind, they just released a letter saying that shouldering a Sig Brace like a stock now makes it an NFA weapon.

There’s been a lot of controversy lately with the Sig arm braces for the AR15 pistols. So how does one make it even more controversial? Add a bumpfire system to it. I stumbled upon this gem on a gun auction site. Is there anything illegal with the way this AR is setup? Currently no, but that doesn’t mean the ATF won’t change their mind about arm braces or slide fire stocks in the future.
