I would get one of these for the collectors market. I actually bet it makes a decent investment when the company goes toes up. At the very least you’ll have Ian or whoever takes the torch of Forgotten Weapons show off your gun!
That’s just dumb. I’ve made an ink pen gun that looked similar to an ink pen. Nobody wanted it, it was hard to hold, one shot, 22 short.
looks nice, but, out of my budget. I’ll go be poor somewhere else.
My best guess. It’s a normal AR-15 except for a two-part threaded barrel. The first and permanent section is smooth bore, thus disqualifying it as a rifle and since it uses rifle cartridges it’s also not a shotgun. The second section of the pipe is rifled and since it’s not pinned and welded it’s not part of the barrel. As long as it’s over 26 inches it’s not a AOW and can use a real buttstock and even a VFG. Look forward to sub-16 inch “firearm” AR-15 uppers.
