Any update on FRT or AR pistols?

I haven’t seen any update on these lately. Looks like at pistol braces are still ok and I see people on armslist still selling FRT too.

Rare Breed’s request for emergency injunction is still pending, so it's up in the air. The ATF opinion remains that they somehow constitute a machine gun, despite not meeting the statutory definition.

For those of us not "in the know", FRT = ????

Free Range Turkey?????

When an abbreviation isn't in wide spread common use, or applies to a specific thing not widely known its a good practice to write out the full name the first time it is mentioned, then after that, using the initials is acceptable. This reduces confusion a lot.

ATF & FRT? Now why would the feds start a fight with Flatulent Redheaded Texans?
