There is even more confusion when you study the sections covering IF the antique firearm uses ammunition that is readily available. The rules covering reproductions of antique firearms gets hard to understand. The rule book mixes rules for reproductions with rules for antiques and it gets nuts. The BATFE even has a comic book trying to explain some of their rules and regulations. I cannot even understand parts of the comic book and a 7 year old is suppose to be able to understand it. The BATFE wrote the rules this way to make sure that we could not follow them all. We have to wait for someone to get arrested and taken to court before a judge and wait for the judges ruling on the charges so we can know what a particular rule really means. Happy New Year To You ALL.
