ATF Shotgun Ruling!

The new regs are here, the new regs are here.


http://atf.gov/publications/firearms/012611-study-on-importality-of-certain-shotguns.pdf

Actually just a study. Reading and more digging indicates that this is not a ruling but is a study that will inevitably result in a ruling to ban more shotguns that are regularly used in sporting events like IPSC. Although the study gives lip service to IPSC and 3-gun, they quickly point out that there is no real advantage to having a magazine fed shotgun. Tell that to all the 3-gunners using Saiga's!!! They also listed all the usual cosmetic EBIL FETURES!! OH TEH HORRERS OF THESE! Bayonet lugs, pistol grip, extra lights, enhanced sights, removable magazines or the ability to hold more than 5 rounds, flash hider, etc! They also added dimensions of "bulk" to the list and weight.


Hold on for the coming ride it's going to get bumpy.
