Thread: Definition of "free standing" pistol grip - mssa vs a-cat ..new deign ideas.

This may have been covered before but i'll see what you guys think, so as defined by police it says


"Free-standing grip, in relation to a firearm, means a grip that –

Is designed to be gripped by the whole or most of the trigger hand of a person firing the firearm; and
Is (if any trigger guard is disregarded) structurally connected to the firearm at only one point; and
When deployed, protrudes from the firearm in a direction that is closer to being perpendicular to the barrel than to being parallel to it; and
Is neither –
Example of what are considered not a pistol grip

a thumb-hole stock; nor
a stock of the type commonly described as a Dragunov stock or Dragunov-style stock
The direction in which the grip of a firearm protrudes from it must be determined in a general, practical sense –

Having regard to the attitude that the trigger hand of a person firing the firearm (while gripping the grip as it is designed to be gripped) would assume while the person is firing the firearm; and
Without having regard to the shape of the grip."

I've seen the stocks that connect from the bottom of the grip to the back of the buttstock with a piece of rod, is there anything that would stop you from making a grip similar to the magpul grip that hugs the radius at the back of the reciever, having a lug off that just behind the buffertube endplate for the rod to attach and then have the rod go straight back?? Technically this would be structurally attached at two points and no different from the rod from the bottom.

Thoughts?

I have the ability to 3d model and a pretty decent 3d printer to play with! throw some ideas at me! the the current nz acat stocks are ugly asf..(except the hera, its okay..)
