BATFE DECIDES THE AKINS ACCELERATOR™ TO BE A MACHINEGUN

Akins Group Inc. regrets to announce that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has reversed its position and has decided the Akins Accelerator™ to be a machinegun conversion kit, thereby subjecting it to strict regulation under the Gun Control Act (GCA) and National Firearms Act (NFA).

ATF rescinded its previous determination that the Akins Accelerator™ was not a machinegun subject to the GCA or NFA (see http://www.firefaster.com/documentation.html for original documentation).

Attorneys for the Akins Group Inc. are seeking reconsideration by ATF of its new position. In the interim, any sale, transfer, or return of the Akins Accelerator™ must be suspended. Akins Group Inc. will advise further after meeting with ATF.

Akins Group Inc. has received no instruction as to the disposition of units in customer hands. Please refrain from public speculation and emotional responses and allow our Attorneys to advocate for everyone's best interests.

What should be banned are not machineguns, or buttstocks, or pistol grips, but the BATF!

would not bother me at all

Not that long ago, you could buy a little bag of M2 parts to convert your M1 carbine to full auto. That stopped very suddenly, and the advertisers printed lots of warnings about the legal jeopardy their customers were in.

and they gripe! get real. that’s a defacto machine gun.

[the invisib1e hand]

dude, please. the gizmo may not be a firearm or a machine gun, but the gizmo plus a firearm equals a machine gun.

Pick your battles, man.
