    franklins press stuff shows their normal binary trigger. cant be long before they escape out into the wild and we see what the actual deal is.https://www.aimsurplus.com/product.a...d&groupid=8389 this stripped empty ar lower rcvr is considered a firearm with no trigger in it. adding any sort of trigger to that is not going to make it a non firearm.

    That's an interesting question. Putting a lightning link in a lower makes a machine gun, removing it makes it not a machine gun. I wonder if the same is true of others.

    while the lightning link is another ball of wax, i really dont think the binary trigger is the deal with this "not a rifle"AR 15. ive seen some really off the wall theories on other sites, guess we will find out when they reveal it at shot show.

    The non semi trigger position is what a bunch of people are saying. Having only safe and binary position. This makes more sence than any of the stupid smoothbore, shotgun, twisted barrel theories.

    .now i could be wrong, it happens, but a stripped rcvr is a firearm. i dont see how it becomes a non firearm regardless of any of the things people have guessed at. i still believe its because they are just producing the thing as a pistol.

    Artful, Who would buy a gun with a barrel like that? It would be completely useless. If it ends up being that, It will be a big failure.

    Brilliant. I think it's great what Franklin Armory is doing. The straight lands and grooves get around the definite of rifling. This would make a great home defense gun. And it just goes one step farther at pointing out the absurdity of the ATF firearm rules. God bless America.

    .300 blackout seems like the worst choice. Honestly 9mm or another pistol caliber would have seemed more better

    A lot of cheapo suicide special handguns back in the day had rifling that was straight or nearly so, just for appearance sake. Yeah, I would be more likely to buy something like this in a pistol cartridge. Supposedly, the Reformation is patented or patent pending. What exactly did they patent? As mentioned before, straight rifling is nothing new. Maybe the whole gun is under a design patent, but no individual feature or part of it is?
