Silencer Saturday #431: What Other NFA Rules Could Be Changed?

Summary

This article speculates on potential future changes to NFA rules by the ATF that could be favorable to enthusiasts. It discusses clarifications needed for the definition of 'silencer parts' regarding solvent traps, wipes (citing a 1999 letter vs. current policy), and suppressor-compatible muzzle devices. The article also suggests the ATF could reassess the 'sporting purposes' test for shotguns classified as destructive devices, potentially exempting firearms like the Street Sweeper and USAS-12 from NFA regulations, influenced by the Bruen decision.
