Some thoughts:
Will ATF tighten down on the blade and brace stocks?
Is this a good caliber for an SBR/Pistol?
Accuracy & Range of these?
Best Ammo to use?
Blade/Brace or Cheek stocks?
9mm, 5.56, .300BO or other caliber?
They could always change their view on braces since it's not a law, but an opinion letter. How we have allowed the ATF to make rules based on random opinions without going through any lawmaking processes is beyond me.
I prefer the Tailhook brace because it's super solid and gives a longer LOP with the matching KAK tube.
Accuracy depends more on the quality of your barrel than length. Only way to tell is to test it.
You'll still be able to shoot at any distance you normally would. The reduced velocity will obviously increase drop at distance.
Short barrels work better with pistol calibers than anything else, but rifle calibers are still quite effective at the reduced velocity. They really shine with subsonic ammo where you can push the heaviest bullets to 1050fps or so.
As I posted above, the increased muzzle blast with 5.56 or even Supersonic 300Blk is obnoxiously loud and unpleasant to be around. They aren't even allowed at our indoor matches because they require double ear protection for everyone and the muzzle blast damages our barricades and props. The only exception is if they are suppressed of course.
