murfy67 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 murfyOk, this has been debated by a few folks in my neck of the woods. I would like some clarification regarding the use of a vertical grip on a 522 pistol. I bought the pistol for plinking and target shooting, it's a fun shooting toy. I wanted to add a vertical grip to add more stability for target acquisition, but spoke to one gun shop and they said it would be illegal. I went to another gun shop and they said it's legal. Since this is a pistol, that has no real place of it's own in these forums, I thought I would ask in this room. thanks for any advice in advance.

Microgunner Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Vertical fore grips are restricted on pistols by Federal law.To legally install one on a pistol the pistol must be registered as an AOW under the GCA of 1968.http://www.atf.gov/press/releases/2006/04/041006-openletter-nfa-adding-vertical-fore-grip.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yup, absolutely illegal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfy67 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thank you for the info, I actually read a letter from the ATF regarding the matter. The last I wanted was to go to the range and end up with a fine or worse. Thanks for the help. :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
