The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has issued a notice to individuals with pending National Firearms Act (NFA) applications to register pistols equipped with stabilizing braces as short-barreled rifles (SBRs).
According to the ATF, applicants have until Monday, November 10, 2025, to request withdrawal of their applications if they choose not to move forward. After that date, any application that hasn’t been withdrawn will continue through the normal processing and approval steps.
Those wishing to withdraw can do so through the ATF eForms system or by contacting the agency via email. Full details and instructions are available on the ATF’s official website HERE
