I was talking about a sound supresser. On any gun, one must pay a one time charge of $200 to BAFT.
So Erik tells me.
His prototype rifles had barrols under 16 inches.
Because of that, their classfied as machine guns by BAFT, so he said too.
As for shotguns, the barrol length must be at least 18 inches. My Stevens 350 has a 18 & 1/4 one. Just to be save.

Meeting him at around 10am Saturday at his place.
Buying a optic scope for my .223 Ket-Tel pistol and 2-30 round AR 15 mags and a pistol case.
My have him mount a sound suppresser on my 10/22?
Probably knock the sound to at least an air rifle or better. Good for shooting pestky critters of all kinds...LOL...

It's not a "machine gun" unless it has a full-auto mode. You either have an SBR (short barrelled rifle) or an AOW (any other weapon - i.e. a short barrelled shotgun or something like that). AOW's, by the way, only take a $5 stamp Cool. All of these are considered "Class 3" weapons.

You'd have to check either your dealer, but I think an SBR with a supressor (one that's not permanently mounted and the overall barrel length is still under 16") needs two stamps - one for the rifle, and one for the suppressor.

22LR isn't so loud anyhow, but suppressors are handy for them.
