Likewise an M-1 carbine receiver and an M-2 carbine receiver are identical, and all the parts to convert a gun from an M-1 to an M-2 are available on the surplus market. HOWEVER having all the parts, and an M-1, or even just some of the M-2 parts together, is a machine gun under the NFA. While the US Supreme court decision in the Staples case should help to protect truly innocent possessors of such things, you are playing with fire.

Anthony Williams has written a fascinating account of his time spent shooting the Brugger & Thomet MP9 chambered in the diminutive 6.5x25mm CBJ round. The standard 6.5x25mm CBJ Ball¹ round consists of a necked down 9x19mm NATO case with a 4mm (0.157") tungsten bullet, weighing 30 grains, inside a 6.5mm plastic discarding sabot. Look what it does to armor ...

One of the rounds biggest advantages is that is can be used in any 9mm NATO gun with nothing but a barrel change.

I highly recommend reading Tony's article.

Mechanix Illustrated has an article online, first published in 1957, about "revolutionary" The Dardick revolver and its triangular rounds (Trounds).

I wonder how reliable those guns were. I imagine that the design would have combined and amplified the feeding problems associated with autoloaders and the heavy trigger pull of double action revolvers.

[ Many thanks to Sven (Defense and Freedom) for emailing me the the info. ]

Google Translate has failed me and so I know very little about this pistol. I think it is named the Shark and is currently in pre-production in Turkey. It is single action only and holds six rounds in its magazine. I like the design.

If you know Russian, you can read more about it at Casatic's blog.

Smith & Wesson have just applied for a patent on their AR-15-patterned .22 rifle, the M&P15-22.

U.S. Patent Application 20100162604: LIGHTWEIGHT, LOW COST SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE

A lightweight and low cost semi-automatic rifle includes an upper receiver, a lower receiver, and a forend fabricated from injection-molded polymers. The rifle permits firing .22 LR or similar low-power ammunition from an AR-15 style frame, operates on the blowback principle, and provides a fully functional bolt catch and extractor/ejector/deflector.

In addition any NFA weapon EVER transferred or registered in violation of the Act is subject to civil forfeiture. See 26 USC sec. 5872. A forfeiture proceeding is separate from any criminal prosecution, and a resolution of a criminal proceeding in favor of the defendant will not preclude a forfeiture action. See U.S. v. One Assortment of Eighty-Nine Firearms, 465 U.S. 354 (1984).

A Note about NFA Weapons and California

As a general rule the definitions of NFA weapons, as regulated in California, track exactly the federal definitions, and categories.

-

Note that this definition is only in the rules for the NFA, and not the GCA. It is designed to interact with the AOW definition. For example even though this definition excludes such things as the .410 T/C Contender pistol from the pistol definition, it is also not an AOW as it has a rifled bore. And it is also a handgun under the GCA. The NFA statute does not define "pistol" or "revolver". I think that excluding handguns designed to be fired when held in two hands is not necessarily justifiable. But it allowed them to declare that an HK SP-89 pistol with a K grip is an AOW. As is an M-11/9 or TEC-9 with a foregrip. The Auto Ordnance 1927-A3 pistol is apparently exempted, for historical authenticity.

FAQ On National Firearms Act Weapons

Note that the silencer definition applies only to devices for firearms, i.e. powered by an "explosive". An air gun silencer is not covered. But if it can be used on a firearm it would be. Thus an airgun silencer permanently attached to the airgun, or too flimsy to be used on a firearm, should be exempt. If you have an interest in pursuing this line of thought submit a sample or drawings to ATF Tech. Branch. I am not aware of any airgun silencer currently made, or determined to be exempt from this definition. But clearly there is room under the definition for such a gadget. Likewise, since antique guns, as defined in the GCA are not "firearms", a silencer for such a gun is not, or should not be, covered. Perhaps one fitted permanently to a pre-1899 gun? The mind reels.
