I had a thought the other day that I haven't been able to work out a straight answer for. Let me first make some points:
1. If a person makes a short barreled rifle without ATF paperwork, that is illegal.
2. A black powder firearm would be exempt from this rule.
Here's where my question comes in. What if you made an SBR chambered in a proprietary black powder cartridge? I was thinking a double barrel coach style gun in 50 cal would be pretty slick at about 10 inches. The ammo would be completely custom, and the weapon unable to chamber ammo with smokeless powder.
I should mention I have two tax stamps, and I'm not looking to lose my rights for a gun, no matter how slick. Would a letter to the ATF be a waste of time? Any thoughts on this?
