This "non-standard thread pattern" loop-hole is the wackiest thing I've ever heard. I've read the law, it's written in mumbo-jumbo legal babble, but it says absolutely nothing about thread pitch, pattern, type, size, etc. I wonder if JP has anything in writing from the BAFT stating this is in compliance. Of course it's perfectly legal to make post ban barrels with threaded muzzles, that's always been legal. It's putting a brake on without permanently attaching it that gets you in trouble. You gotta give'em credit for coming up with a new angle, they must have a large pair. -- Kernel
