Default Re: FRONT GRIP ON PISTOLS LEGAL NOW or NOT

SBR and AOW are regulated by the NFA of 1934 which is still in effect. Regardless of what wording was in the AWB it expiring did not change anything.

Pistol + Stock = SBR
Pistol + Forward grip = AOW

A receiver does NOT need to be "marked" pistol. Any receiver that has not had a barrel installed is not yet a rifle or pistol and can be built into either. Once a barrel is installed it is the a rifle or pistol forever.

Correct. Read this ruling letter from ATF.
