Is there actually an explicit ban on semi-automatic, open bolt

>>34427780
bump

I they're banned because the deemed that they're (open bolt semi-auto guns) too easy to convert to full auto weapons. I'm not sure if the law specifically bans them.

They are not banned by law as it should work.
The ATF has the unconstitutional power to legislate whatever the fuck they want. Most ATF regulations are unconstitutional breaches of our 2A and legislative due process.

>>34427780
The ATF never made a ruling that explicitly banned semi-automatic open-bolt guns. It's a combination of things:

When ATF released two ruling that classified the KG-9 and a bunch of other open-bolt semi-automatics as machine gun, gun manufacturers believed that if an open bolt semi-automatic pistol/rifle/shotgun was submitted to the ATF for approval as a Title I firearm the ATF would likely classify it as a machine gun on the basis of being 'readily restored to shoot automatically more than one round per function of the trigger'

Between 1982 and May 19, 1986, new open-bolt semi-automatics could still be bought, sold, possessed as Title II firearms but the extra hassle made then in extremely low demand; why register a semi-automatic open-bolt as an MG when I can buy a real MG?

The final nail in the coffin was the passing of the Firearm Owners Protection Act. The definition of a machine gun was officially amended to include a machine gun to be a firearm that can be readily restored to one. With the ban on civilian manufactured ones after that date, there was now no way to privately own a new one.

So no, there is not an explicit ban on them, but a combination of ATF opinion and regulations serve as a de facto ban on them.

wow

There are a few models that fell through the cracks. No one is willing to try to make a new one, per above, and many types were reclassified, but the ATF forgot about a few models or had difficulty obtaining records...in one case the factory had burned down..and those you can still buy as regular firearms.

I believe the ATF approved an open-bolt gun that was single-shot only.

This is how places like California are made, men of inaction.

you got a proper response you dumb retard gorilla nigger

>>34431406
I'd like to see that one. My impression of an open bolt is one that goes until it's stopped with the trigger.

>>34431828
Part of the reason why the ATF approved it was that since it didn't have a magazine it wasn't readily restorable to shoot more than one round per function of the trigger

That took 30-45 seconds to read at most
11 years on this site and this is the closest I have gotten to rustled jimmies. At least you said thank you

>>34427780
iirc open bolt semi autos pre-ban were grandfathered

>>34431406
Cobray Terminator a "simi-auto" open "bolt" shotgun that is regarded as one of the worst guns ever made.

In the law? No.
