Anyone know what this product is classified as by the BATFE? http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/Store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=24288. I'm looking for the same type of letter that BATFE sent to Primary Weapons Systems for their FCS556 and DTNC brakes/flash suppressors. I cannot find any information online. I called VLTOR...they seemed clueless. I told them I wanted to install this on a post ban and wanted to know what the BATFE classifies these units as.
They told me it was legal as long as I permanently fixed it. I told them that that is a different issue altogether and the reason to have the device permanently welded is to bring a 14.5" barrel into compliance AND in the case of Mass to not have it count against me as one of the 2 allowed "evil" feature (threaded barrel) - it does not however answer my question as to whether it is a flash hider or not which counts as another "evil" feature. The lady there must have though I was crazy.
Anyway, I thanked her for her "help" and hung up. I'm inclined to think it's "evil". Your thoughts please.
