    It’s definitely a concern I have with those.

    You'd have a hell of a time insuring consistent twist rate along the axis, not to mention keeping concentricity along the axis.

    I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the trigger, and it'll still be illegal in NJ.

    I'm honestly not too worried about it. Even if they said "ILLEGAL" tomorrow, they'd have a hell of a time I.D.'ing who owns them since, at least here, they're transferred as a shotgun, there's nothing I.D.'ing it as a shockwave on the transfer forms, and even the serial numbers aren't unique.

    Yea the more I think about it the less sense it makes.

    Then again, maybe it wasn't so crazy after all.

    Lancaster oval bore rifle.

    https://civilwartalk.com/threads/the...-rifle.126976/

    Charles Lancaster was a famous British gunmaker in the 1800s. Mr. Lancaster was not only interested in small arms, but also larger cannons as well. In 1850, he came up with the idea of an oval shaped bore. The bore would be slightly oval shaped and would rotate throughout the length of the barrel and therefore, a tightly fitting projectile would come out spinning, just like a rifle bullet. Unlike a true rifle though, there are no grooves and therefore, no sharp rifling edges, which makes the bore easier to clean.
    The Newton-Pope Rifling and the Oval Bore.

    http://ps-2.kev009.com/ohlandl/Cast_...Oval_Bore.html

    Instead of the barrel being cut with grooves having their bottoms concentric with the bore of the rifle, and forming sharp angles at the sides, the groove is merely a segment of a circle having a shorter radius than that of the bore

    Well if nothing else, the buzz about this thing has been YUGE.

    Of course they are. Free marketing. The "big reveal" is hot now. Right up there with life style branding. Sig does both...
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    While the sheer stupidity of the nature of NFA laws frustrates me to no end, I really dislike the "NFA loophole!" marketing angle bugs me. Flaunting that you're exploiting a loophole is just begging to be made a villain by some leftist hit piece on irresponsible gun makers and how things need to get cracked down on further. No, the law is BS, and it shouldn't matter, but the first rule of exploiting loopholes is you keep your mouth shut or the loophole gets closed.
