I have been surfing the web looking at home made designs the last few days. I have seen a number of questionable designs. Maybe foreign made or maybe my eyes aren't accurate at measuring. One thing I have seen is single shots that fire from an open bolt. I was wondering if the prohibition on open bolts is limited to repeating arms, or if these items are illegal.
