Q.
Is it legal? |
|
A.
All hand cranked, cam operated trigger devices, used on Title
One semi automatic firearms, are at this time "not illegal"
under federal law, as per BATFE.
The only letter I have
ever seen is posted at www.gatlingguns.com. All it says is
that the unit/device does not constitute a firearm, so it
is not regulated by them. This is exactly what Mr. Ed Owens
at the Technical Branch told me about ten years ago. It appears
that California and Minnesota have State laws that prohibit
"trigger devices" so these units cannot be shipped
to those two states. Anyone purchasing a trigger device, of
any kind, should check their State and local laws to determine
if such a device is legal or not. What is definitely Illegal
is to connect any form of power to operate the device. "Hand
cranked only" is OK.
