Maxim Defense, a well-known producer of higher-quality firearms, ammo, and suppressors has just unveiled its latest industry partnership, this time, with the folks from the FPC (Firearms Policy Coalition). The FPC is a fairly large Second Amendment public advocacy group that often goes to court to fight back against the encroachment that the ATF against law-abiding gun owners. This particular partnership is right up the alley of Maxim Defense since a lot of their product lineup consists of PCCs and other firearms that might end up as Illegal SBRs almost overnight should the ATF’s most recent pistol brace ruling be passed into law.

St. Cloud, Minnesota – Maxim Defense Industries, premier manufacturer of precision firearms, suppressors, ammunition, and accessories, announced that it has joined forces with Firearms Policy Coalition to challenge the ATF’s recently published rulemaking regarding the pistols equipped with stabilizing braces. On February 21st FPC and Maxim filed a Motion for a Preliminary Injunction in Mock v. Garland.
“Our history is linked to the Pistol Stabilization Brace,” said Michael Windfeldt, Founder of Maxim Defense. “Since then, we have been producing the most innovative AR pistol products in the market.”
In declaring that brace-equipped pistols are, in fact, short barreled rifles under the National Firearms Act, the ATF’s new Pistol Brace Rule reverses nearly a decade of guidance as to the classification of pistols equipped with pistol braces, like those produced and sold in the hundreds of thousands by Maxim Defense.
“The recent ATF Pistol Brace Rule creates additional difficulty for an already burdened industry,” said Windfeldt. “This challenges us all. Everyone recognizes how important it is for lawful firearm owners to have a voice, and Maxim is committed to fighting for our rights.”
These rules affect not only our Second Amendment rights but also jeopardize thousands of American jobs. We urge you to join us in our fight by supporting organizations like the Firearms Policy Coalition and speaking with your state and local representatives, asking them to help remove this attack on our rights.
