In reply to Leonid. The letter from the ATF (that denies the acceptance of the 5.56) says it has a 7.5" barrel with a 1:9 twist.

This case was not about the Constitutionality of the NFA (it’s not constitutional – but was not being chalenged). Franklin Armory used the very specific wording of the NFA to win their case.
We need to see the wording of the settlement of that case – to see if ATF can turn around and do the exact same thing back at Franklin Armory.

Without seeing the words of the settlement – we’re all just farting in the wind and saying “But we WANT to be able to have short barrels on 5.56, so ATF must be wrong here.” And that makes us all sound as stupid as the Democrats in Congress who don’t know anything about the Constitution or about guns/

I have also read that the barrel of the antithesis is not rifled to impart spin, but has straight grooves that result in tumble. Can you source confirm or deny?

Playing Chess with Franklin Armory is probably not a good idea.

In reply to Felix. Can’t argue Felix, can’t argue.

One of my favorite hobby horses is that the rule of law is really a myth covering up the rule of men.

* All laws are interpreted by men.

* Appeals court and Supreme Courts splits, and Circuit splits, show laws aren’t nearly as clear as claimed by rule of law proponents.

* The last thing any lawyer wants is clear and objective laws which make quibbling obsolete.

This is just another example.
