Dear Subsonic: I appreciate all the info that you quoted, but you missed the point of my original concern. The pre-1898 smooth bore pistols I am concerned about are capable of firing off the shelf .22 rimfire ammo. I am hoping that someone might know if BATF ever granted an exemption for these, as they have exempted some other firearms.
