THAT Bill Davis... turns out he is a customer with a couple holsters of mine already. ... Neat old guy to speak with...Said ATF came into his shop and demanded 8,000 in Federal excise taxes...seems a judge decided that switching revolver barrels constituted "manufacturing" a firearm... He told them to shove it and they left with his FFL ...
He laughed when I mentioned I had one of his Cougars He said he has never settled on that or Ruthon... I don't care it shoots and I had a pleasant conversation with an interesting man.

Did I manufacture a truck?

I got an idea... Let's all get together and manufacture a free, functional country like the one we used to have.

Don't have one, but if a fellow had one of the old Dan Wesson pistol pacs, I suppose he would be "manufacturing" a firearm every time he put a different barrel on the frame. Or switched cylinders in a Ruger convertible SA.

I'll bet that "interpretation" could be overturned if a fellow had the money and determination to fight it. BATFE's own rules say that the frame is the firearm.

A display of idiocy at its finest.

...But someone could mount a rifle stock to the frame & a pistol barrel at the same time...

What a waste of resources & the tax payer's dollar !!!
