He had to go all the way to Federal appeals court in DC to get that ruling.<br /><br />Legally speaking, it's a theatrical and alternate priming device as it isn't a firearm in it's own right anymore than cartridge conversion cylinders for cap and ball revolvers are firearms in and of themselves...this ruling could change at any time but seems unlikely to change. As somebody involved says "If the ruling changes, people will still know how to make them."<br /><br />There's also a revolver one that has been ruled the same (as an accessory) but isn't in production yet.<br /><br />Not that I have any knowledge of the issue...<br /><br />Regards,<br />Tomtomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230665595988628546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529754.post-21684144799069933622009-06-02T21:43:55.997-05:002009-06-02T21:43:55.997-05:00"Skirting" blatantly unconstitutional &q..."Skirting" blatantly unconstitutional "rules" sounds like strict obedience to the spirit of the Constitution, to me.Kurt '45superman' Hofmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091930034162667742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529754.post-39654339514662837502009-06-02T21:41:26.118-05:002009-06-02T21:41:26.118-05:00The benefit of this I can see is that it will make...The benefit of this I can see is that it will make things even easier for muzzle loading hunters.
