Yes the regs specify semi-auto, but that was also wrote before the surge of the more modern tactical style rifles being used today. We all know that laws and regs can always be interpreted in different ways by different people, so would hurt to error on the side of caution and call and talk to somebody.

Yeah. I get what you are saying. But after I started dealing with the ATF on a semi regular basis I've decided for myself that calling about laws and rules is seldom fruitful. Ive literally called twice within an hour and gotten two completely different answers. Plus no proof I got that answer if a third agent were to ever take exception with what I was doing.

I just don't trust calling any more. Is rather read the regs, and be able to pull them out and show a game warden exactly what they say rather than tell him that someone at the Broadway office on the phone said it was OK.
