Pistol Brace Rule
CMMG is pausing shipment and ordering of pistol braces and pistol brace-equipped BANSHEEs following the release of ATF 2021R-08.
Friday, February 17, 2023
As of 2/17/23, CMMG has joined passionate industry partners in a legal lawsuit against the ATF to show that not only CMMG has been impacted by the ATF’s final rule ATF 2021-08F but also expose the government’s blatant overreach threatening our liberties and freedoms as gun owners/manufacturers. This is a message that we want partners and customers alike to know that CMMG does care about those eroding liberties. We plan to continue to fight for our 2nd amendment rights and what is rightfully ours.
You can watch an interview with Jeff Overstreet and Jared Yanis (Guns and Gadgets) posted here regarding CMMG’s statement.
CMMG began in central Missouri in 2002 during the height of the Assault Weapons Ban (1994 AWB). Despite the obstacles of this time, that passion and perseverance quickly developed into a full-time business because of its group of knowledgeable and passionate firearms enthusiasts. CMMG’s reputation was built on attention to detail, cutting edge innovation, and the superior craftsmanship that comes from sourcing our own parts. By offering high quality firearms, parts, and accessories, CMMG’s commitment to faith and top-quality products with professional service is as deep today as it was when it began.
CMMG will continue to stand beside our partners in the industry to create a cohesive response and unified stance against those who try to take what is rightfully ours.

On January 13th, 2023 the BATFE (ATF) announced a final ruling on stabilizing braces (ATF-2021-08F ATF 2021R-08 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached "Stabilizing Braces" | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
CMMG is opposed to this rule which is a complete reversal of prior guidance by the ATF. In response to the ATF’s final rule, CMMG will continue to do our due diligence in notifying you, the people, of changes in the industry and this situation. CMMG will also continue to stand beside our partners in the industry to create a cohesive response and unified stance to challenge this unjust rule.
In the interim, due to the uncertainty and the advice of legal counsel, CMMG is taking action to comply with the rule, as we understand it, and are temporarily suspending shipment of pistols with stabilizing braces. With this change in production, rest assured we are actively fighting this ruling.
Join CMMG and our fellow industry partners in contacting all of your elected officials and express your opposition to this rule.
