ATF classifying saiga 12 as "destructive device"..uncofirmed

[stinker]

Was talking to a guy in a gun shop in Ocala,FL about the 922 job i'm doing on my 223ak and he said he got a notice from the ATF today that the 12's are going to be classified the same as street sweepers because of the high cap drums.

Currently unconfirmed but he did'nt follow it up with trying to sell me one so it does'nt stink of sales pitch to me. Not even sure if he had one in stock or not. Did'nt ask since i'm out of state.

Calling bullshit on this one.Unless it confirmed it is not worth even talking about.

That's why i made the unconfirmed part so obvious. I'm poking around the atf site to see if i can find anything right now

ATF ATF announces the publication of the Study on the Importability of Certain Shotguns. To obtain comments from the affected industry, ATF will be accepting comments January 31, 2011, through May 1, 2011, at shotgunstudy@atf.gov.

This is about importation but look on page 20 and 30 and see if those pics look a little familliar....I'll wager the ATF is thinking about it even if the store guy was possibly just trying to run a crappy sales pitch. He might've been referring to that too but i don't know.

Those drums are not imported.They are manufactured in the US.

The Saiga does not come into the country in the so called ATF opinion/definition of sporting configuration.

I'd find a new shop to deal with.

Don't let the hype scare you.

I ordered a drum and a shotgun the weekend the panic started, Arms of America canceled my order four days later after prices shot up everywhere else. Now I've got a drum and no gun.

This is why you shouldn't participate in panic buys.

I've read several articles where there is conversation in Washington concerning the Saiga shotguns. Here's one link.
