Speaking of being a federal criminal
Ry on the NFA handbook changes:
The April 2009 edition of the NFA Handbook has removed pin & weld from the methods that are allowed to extend barrels to the minimum (16″ rifle, 18″ shotgun) length to avoid paying an SBR/SBS tax.
What happens to the millions of barrels out there that were pinned and welded?
All the people who own M4 length barrels with pinned and welded 1.5 inch flash suppressors should be concerned.

I noticed that section 2.1.1 (shotguns) and section 2.1.3 (rifles) contain the same language-
“Acceptable methods for permanently attaching a device to a shotgun barrel are”
WTFO!

Works for me, too.. Looks like maybe they just screwed up and cut/pasted the shotgun section into both places? Was “pinned and welded” OK for a shotgun before? (It seems like a lousy way to do a shotgun..)

How will they know what method is used to fasten the muzzle break/flash suppressor without tearing the barrel apart?

Legally I would suspect this would be covered under ex-post facto rules so not to apply to guns that already have such things.
