Information at above thread.

Not only is Akins Group Inc still in existance as a corporation, but the battle to overturn the Federal law violating BATFE 2006-02 ruling continues. Nothing has changed other than a director has resigned and his position has been replaced. Upon his resignation, Mr Bowers no longer speaks for Akins Group Inc and any opinions he has posted online since his resignation are not the official position or opinions of the board of directors of Akins Group Inc.

Thanks, Bill. It's a great project and neither your fault nor Tom's for the hassles that have resulted from the BATFE's capricious and changing rulings.

Perhaps the outcome of the Supreme Court ruling in the "District of Columbia v. Heller" case, expected to come sometime mid-summer, will help.

I guess it’s not around anymore but there used to be a device that could be attached around the trigger guard that would allow the shooter to fire bursts. I can’t remember the brand name.

Here, I’ll add a video link so everybody knows what you’re talking about.

Excellent news! (And best first post ever on FR!)

To fill in latecomers:
The “Akins Accellerator” is a novel device, replacing the stock of a rifle with a mechanism which results in a high rate of semi-auto fire - think “bump firing” turned into a quality product.
The BATFE was consulted about the legality of such a product. They declared it lawful.
Mr. Akins et al commenced production and sale.
The BATFE then reversed their decision, and confiscated all (or at least critical parts of all) product produced. Buyers were contacted and their purchases effectively confiscated.
Mr. Akins et al have subsequently been battling this reversal in court.
A major contributor in the organization, Mr. Tom Bowers, recently resigned - raising doubt about the continued fight to reverse the confiscations. His action is understandable.
Thankfully, Mr. Akins has, per this thread, announced that all is well (or as well as can be expected given the circumstances) with the company and the case. There is hope that we will see the Akins Accellerator legal again soon.

I gotta admit some ignorance here - I had no idea what this is about.

(I'll bet I'm not the only one.) So I googled. Here's a video I found - VERY cool!

ATF was one of the agencies Reagan wanted to dismantle.

Too bad he didn’t. My guess is Bush I dissuaded him.
