Yup. I don't believe it made 5 consecutive rounds without a jamb. . . makes the extended mag ironic.I think I saw Iian review/test that pistol on "Forgotten Weapons."
It's not disguised (as something else), it's just unrecognizable.I am amazed that ATF did not declare the ZiP .22 to be an AOW disguised gun. . .
Would be legal if used under barrel of an AR pistol.I thought you were going to say that even the Zip guns were selling out.
The zip .22 would've been much better suited if it was just sold as a under-barrel attachment for your rifles. Although this would make it a NFA item (I think?) it still was a valid niche.
I've had the opportunity to handle a USFA repro of a Henry Nettleton SAA. The quality was unbelievable, probably the most carefully finished firearm I've ever handled (very carefully).US Fire Arms USFA had actually made a name for itself making decent clones of the Colt SSA revolver.

So when you attach a under rifle, it becomes a NFA device on the fact that you're attaching a stock to it and so the ZIP .22 in this case becomes the tax stamped firearm, not the already existing rifle? If it's a AR pistol, this doesn't qualify because it's already on a handgun setup?
I thought it had something to do with adding multiple firearms to a single rifle.
wish more people would attach their zip 22s to their riflesYou are attaching a stock to a pistol (or a pistol-ish-thing, in this case) so it (the zip) becomes a short-barreled rifle.
And as an add-on to an AR-15, would I want to pay a $200 tax to make a $100 pistol into an SBR?
The point of putting a jam-o-matic 22 under a rifle escapes me, but I did think that might be the purpose when I first saw them.
No, it becomes an SBR when attached to a rifle because a rifle has a buttstock. Attaching a pistol to another pistol regardless of whether it has a brace or not cannot make it into a rifle and thus an SBR.You are attaching a stock to a pistol (or a pistol-ish-thing, in this case) so it (the zip) becomes a short-barreled rifle.

Without mentioning the NFA implications.
