It is in emails between us as a manufacturer and the NJSP. 

"Firearm must have an overall length of more then 26 inches with the pistol brace collapsed."

To clarify...

The NJSP letter includes a copy of the ATF determination letter on our DS-15 Typhoon firearm (non-NFA) which has the  ATF language of measured with the stock extended. 

NJSP measures with the stock collapsed

ATF measures with the stock extended

It does not make sense that they measure differently, but they do.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks DSI...Awesome Firearm btw

You can add the Griffin Ind blast shield to the MM Brake that is already on there.

I am a big fan of their brake. Shoots very flat and soft.

I think the MM version are shipping out with A2 Flash hiders. I was talking to someone over at MM on instagram a few days ago and i think only the initial batch is shipping with the MM Brake.

Yes we are shipping with A2 birdcages. For a couple reasons. It's an effective Muzzel device. No one in NJ ever was allowed to have them and now you can and they are cost effective so you can swap it out to whatever cool flash hider you like...

Here is our SBF with an 11.5 inch barrel and the 26.1 comes right the crown of the barrel. 

If you get the flash hider pinned at the FFL can you ship with a 10.5" barrel or no?

September

Phone was updating ..

so....

I had the opportunity to shoot the full Modern Material line up yesterday with the main focus on the SBF. While conditions weren’t the best, random thunderstorms, rain, 90*+ degrees with roughly 100% humidity, I was able to make quite a few shots on steel targets varying between 50-100 yards using a red dot. I am not a good shooter mind you and the humidity did cause my glasses to fog adding to the challenge. The SBF was extremely light, accurate, (as accurate as I could be), and surprisingly was not as loud as I thought for its short size. It was actually rather tame! If anyone has ever considered something small for home defense, this would probably be the best alternative hands down. 

I will be ordering one of these in the near future from MM. what an awesome little package!!

@Modern Materiel

Out of curiosity, with the most recent ATF opinion... If you remove the brace and measure only the buffer extension will you still get to 26"?

Surefire makes a direct-to-thread version of their Warden diffuser so there's no need to get a muzzle brake.  Not sure about any impact to performance going direct-to-thread but it'd save you a few bucks from having to get the brake as well.

Just picked this up from MM on Thursday. Fit and Finish is excellent. Probably only change will be to a LaRue 2 Stage trigger and maybe some offset iron sights.

[Blairsden 0]

IIRC, firearm must be measured with the brace in the closed position because minimum overall length must be greater than 26" for it to be considered not concealable. Under 26" is considered concealable. 

Regarding the extended length, I was told it referred to a "rifle's typical length of pull" (which was in the vicinity of 13", sorry for not being more specific or having the links bookmarked for pasting). Therefore, if the extended stabilizer has a LOP around 13" it could be construed to act as a shoulder fixture rather than a forearm stabilizer or cheek weld.

I will try follow up with links later.

IIRC - New ATF regulation is to measure from the end of the barrel to the end of the receiver extension with any brace and muzzle device removed (unless the muzzle device is pinned, then that remains).

One IOI in CT said this. There is no law or regulation. Good luck looking.

Nice. I love the color.

I’m curious.

Why get offset irons?

Why not regular back up iron sights (BUIS)?

Offsets are a great option if using an optic that precludes you from flipping standard sights up - like a LPVO or other magnified optic. But on the setup in your photo, with a RDS, a set of standard BUIS are faster to deploy and simpler to use IMO.

No, because not sure if they will be visible thru the Romeo. Besides all my scope mounted AR's have canted sights. They are "back up" sights and will only be used that way.
