Is there any legal reason* it's not sold to the public, or is it just idiocy on the part of the manufacturer?
*Aside from being an SBR

Re: Cornershot
That's my guess. It's much cooler and more prestigious a toy if the peasants can't have it.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom,...Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you...; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Actually, BATFE considers it an NFA item, as it turns a pistol into a short barrelled rifle.
It's stupid, as the firearm would technically be the NFA item, but...

Re: Cornershot
It's the same kind of thinking that led BATFE to classify a piece of thread as a machinegun for a while(linky).

I see why they would call these SBR's, because no pistols have factory barrels long enough to make it a rifle, but it still sucks. If they made one that worked the hammer on a SA revolver, I would get an Uberti Buntline so I could get a Cornershot..

Yes, but it attaches and the attachment is 'permanent'. That's what makes it an NFA item.mekender wrote:but since it is able to attach to any firearm, i can understand why it is classified that way.HTRN wrote:Actually, BATFE considers it an NFA item, as it turns a pistol into a short barrelled rifle.

And as soon as you attach the stock it becomes an NFA item like the Mauser C-96 stocks were, for years the attaching irons were "verboten" unless you registered the weapon as a SBR.
The weapon itself had nothing to do with the stock unless the stock is attached but that's not the way the FAT'boys see (saw) it.
