Looks like another company has found a loop hole of and has raised the bar trolling the NFA, right before SHOT Show. We've seen this happen with the bump stocks, binary triggers, the Mossberg Shockwave, the the various pistol arm braces, blade, etc. Now Franklin Armory has come out with an 11.5" barrel AR that is not a SBR,

Ok, I'm confused. How is this not an SBR*? The lower is in rifle form yeah?

*I'm all for sticking it to the NFA.

Beats me? All I can think of is it maybe a smooth bore barrel with an overall length of 26"?
That's all I can think of. How much interest could there be in a smoothbore 5.56? Don't get me wrong I'd be glad if it existed, I'm just not buying one.

I don’t get it at all.

They don’t think they would need to provide me with some sort of explanation as to why this is not nfa restricted if they want to market it to me in hopes that I’ll buy one??

If it’s a “non-rifle” then why isn’t it a pistol? And if it’s not a rifle, not a shotgun and not a pistol, then what the hell is it?

I know a little about this and can only say that it definitely has rifling in the barrel.

Muzzleloading AR? Lol. I have no clue. What’s up with the red around the selector? Just cosmetic?

Definitely interested. Can you add a vertical grip? I know 12ga non-NFA “firearms” are allowed. If this isn’t a rifle or shotgun.... though they didn’t say it wasn’t a pistol....

We have a new designation called "short blaster stick thing"... Almost anything goes in that category. Or even the powers that be have said "this is stupid, fuck it" and are approving whatever they want.
