The picture of the Reformation stock I saw was a Magpul SL stock. https://cdn0-thetruthaboutguns-com.cdn. ... 70x367.jpg

Well shucks. Picture will open with my Iphone but not my Windows based desktop.

Creating quite a stir, this rifle or whatever it is :P .

For those that haven't heard yet, it looks like the wait is over...

It sounds like it has straight cut lands and grooves, therefore not rifling, therefore not a rifle. Designed for less than 100 yards, and will most likely be in 300BLK.

I don't see this lasting very long . Straight rifling is still a rifled bore . The first use of rifling was straight grooves intended as a space for black powder residue to go so as to make reloading easier and more shots between cleaning . The groves were then cut on a twist so as to increase the groove length and give more space for the fouling to go , ergo , even more shots between cleaning . Found out that the gun shot more accurate with this twisting , so it was kept . BATF dropped the ball on this ruling , you can bet that it'll change .

2 grand for a 4-5 MOA 50 yrd gun seems like a waste of money to me.

Agree

Only market I see for this would be gang/bangers in LA. Look for California and New Jersey to make up a rule using this as an excuse to come down on all ARs.

From my limted expertise 4 inch groups at 50 yards is not 4 moa (minute of angle). The video says it starts keyholing after 50 yards.

300 BLK will be released first and they are developing specialty ammo to stabilize the 0:0 twist.

Best of luck to them.
I'm all about innovation and am not a fan of the NFA, but I would much rather have a proper SBR than this or even a braced pistol.
The optics of the NFA work a rounds only give ammunition to the anti-gun crowd.
But that's merely my opinion and you know what they say about those...

I was being generous, giving FA the benefit of the doubt since the Franklin rep did say 4-5 MOA. whereas the interviewer said 4"-5"
Irregardless of whether its 4"-5" or 4-5 MOA at 50 yards, its a tomato stake as far as I'm concerned
