StoneHendge, you are correct for everything I've ever read, your vfg/bipod would still be a considered a vfg even with the legs deployed. Being that your at 26"+ with the way that you measured that base is covered as that was the way it was always measured in the past, recently though I've seen where atf has stated measuring to include the brace at it's full extension to the end of barrel sans muzzle device. Have also seen where in one case with a folding adapter they measured with the brace folded from the back side of the adapter to the end of the barrel. So it may seem nothing is set in stone, typical fashion of big brother.
Angled fore grips have never been a problem. There was one case with a vfg on a less 26"oal pistol that went to trial but was thrown out about 10 years ago as the atf likely feared they would have lost the case and the case would have set a precedent.
The Imminent Threat Solutions article is fairly accurate but fails to mention a 3rd letter produced from batfe that for the most part rescinded letter number 2 in its entirety. I am not a lawyer by any stretch but have played in the AR pistol soon after the AWB sunset. Also ITS article fails in mentioning the number of different ways that have surfaced recently on how one is to measure.
It's as if the batfe is relishing in the gray areas of opinion and not law and an actual way to measure should be codified. Here's one for example, applying a red type loc-tite to the screw of the Shockwave Brace can make it considered to be permanently attached, changing the way the pistol maybe measured:confused:
