This is what I came up with after talking to my ATF friend.
there has not been any change regarding the pistol stabilizing braces. Apparently there is an undated Open Letter that has popped up on the internet, but that letter is from 2015. So long as someone is using an approved pistol stabilizing brace on their AR pistol, and there are no changes, modifications, or alterations made to this brace, they are good to go (it can even be shouldered). Folks should also make sure they are utilizing an approved brace, as there are apparently lots of braces out there that are not approved, and that’s another way someone could get in trouble ( as it could turn their firearm into an NFA). So if you have one of the older approved braces you are fine. Just stay away from the new non-approved braces. It usually takes a year or more to get one approved by the ATF so the brand new ones are not approved. Stay away from them and stay away from the vertical forend as that is a no no too.
