As of today the arm brace rule (2021R-08F) is in the Public Inspection Issue with a proposed date of publication in the Federal Register of tomorrow, January 31, 2023.
Therefore, if you intend to register an item you own that has an arm brace once the rule becomes effective it is not too late to get an NFA Trust to hold your resulting SBR.
Please note that the item MUST be placed in the trust prior to the date the final rule is published in the Federal Register in order for you to take advantage of the ‘free’ tax stamp in the name of the trust.
See my post here for more details about putting the currently non-NFA item into your trust now.
