Quick question for our legal eagle types:


1. FFLs cannot legally sell AP handgun ammo to civilians.
2. BATFE just ruled 5.45x39 7n6 is handgun AP ammo
3. What happens to the FFLs that still have this in stock and are still selling it??

To be honest, if any store still has this on their shelves then they are neckbeards who tried to milk the panic.... it's their hole they dug... now they can lay in it.


Can't feel sorry for them.


5.45 has long been sold out everywhere when this news was about to hit.



Lastly, there is probably a hundred different ways that they can get rid of it without "selling it"

I had wondered how they treated solids.


If they pushed a lead free ban through it would make everything AP.






no, because the lead free stuff is usually sintered metal and not a solid.
Sintered vs solid isnt part of the law.  
It is, when you considered what a sintered projectile contains, in practice. It's not straight up powdered steel. It's an alloy, like powdered copper and tin, which makes it non-armor piercing per the statute.

I don't think it's too out of line to look at the bullet design, and say "Umm...the core is solid steel".

Look, I hate the law, I'd repeal it yesterday, and I'll even say it's poorly written, but it's an honest interpretation of it. Stevie Wonder saw this coming.

I'm not biased...I actually read the statement wrong and thought they were using the second part of the definition.  They're using the first part, and its still bullshit because it doesn't meet that part of the definition either.  The projectile/core is NOT constructed entirely of the materials listed.  So again, it doesn't match the definition.  

Doesn't matter.  They're going to do what they want either way.  And most people, including most gun owners, won't care.

I saw it coming...I'm well stocked.  The projectile as a whole as well as the core both contain more than a trace amount of lead.  That means it doesn't fit the first part of the definition.  I'm not even saying there is a chance to get this overturned based on that fact...it just illustrates how the laws can and are twisted to fit the agenda, that's all.

Hey, if it were me working at the BATFE, I'd have said "The core is steel and a not-so insignificant amount of lead" and hope nobody called me on my bullshit.

Importation is banned. No where in there did it say you can not sell what is in the country. 7N6 can no longer be imported unless it is for government testing.

yup, your right, i misread what part they based it on, they are calling the lead in the bullet a "trace amount" which is bullshit!!! There is more than a "trace amount"

Fucking fuckers!!!



TRACE AMOUNT  
In analytical chemistry "trace" would indicate the presence of a material in a sample, but in quantities approaching the limit of detection of the analytical method, and so too small to be accurately measured.

I'm not the best at legalese.  It seems to say that license holders can sell IF they log the sale...I'm sure I'm missing something though:

any firearm or armor-piercing ammunition to any person unless the licensee notes in his records, required to be kept pursuant to section 923 of this chapter, the name, age, and place of residence of such person if the person is an individual, or the identity and principal and local places of business of such person if the person is a corporation or other business entity

Depending on how you define "core", it's not out of line to look at the design and say the core is a cylindrical piece solid steel.



Now, if you define the "core" of a bullet to be anything and everything under the jacket, you'll have a different take on it.

Prior to 7n6 ever being imported in quantity, Wolf and Barnaul 5.45x39 was being sold for around $99.00 a case.  I don't see the caliber becoming Unobtainium and the value of rifles dropping.  I've sold plenty of AK's over the last 12 years and never lost money on any of them.

Unless the ATF starts banning the importation of commercial ammo.  I have enough 5.45x39 ammo stashed for the rest of my lifetime.

On March 5, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) received a request from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) to conduct a test, examination and classification of Russian-made 7N6 5.45x39 ammunition for purposes of determining whether it is considered “armor piercing ammunition”

Actually, it looks like CBP got nosy about 7N6, and requested a determination. Its funny, as they haven't had a problem letting it go through the ports
for the past 10 plus years. I'm assuming that if CBP didn't pipe up about it, it wouldn't have been a problem.

How is M855 ok but 7N6 isn't??




M855 (and M2 AP) is specifically exempt from the AP classification by law.




So the 7N6 just uses more steel? Well that's stupid...




You misunderstood me.



M855 and M2 AP are legally EXEMPT from ever being classified as armor piercing by BATFE. The same law that came up with this bullshit made those two off limits. Yes, M2 AP (ARMOR PIERCING) is legally exempt from being classified as ARMOR PIERCING by BATFE.








What was the reasoning for that? Just so people would vote for a bullshit law?


1.  "People would vote for a bullshit law?" "People" don't vote for laws, congressmen and senators do - after they write them.  This wasn't part of the original Gun Control Act of 1968, it came about in 1986 (HR 3132) after the Progressive media had been whipping the public into a frenzy over "cop-killer bullets" like the KTW (a barrier-blind round for LE, never sold to the public).



Congressman Biaggi (D-NY) had orginally written a bill that would have banned almost every rifle caliber.  Almost every rifle caliber - and many pistol calibers too - anything that could penetrate a NIJ Level II vest (maybe IIa).  .22 WMR, for example.



2.  M2 AP is / was commonly used as competition ammunition when actual .30 caliber National Match ammunition isn't / wasn't available.  NM has a 172ish grain bullet, M2 AP has 168ish grain bullets.  And since only the US government made it (in the US) Congress assumed no one would set up a factory and make it.



3.  M855 is called out as "non-armor piercing" because it isn't.  It was supposed to penetrate a mild steel M1 helmet at 600 meters.

What a bunch of bullshit.

The ONLY Onyks builds ever made it into the US were as hard to find parts kits, or scraped together by combining available Tantal and Beryl parts.

If someone tried to import a complete Radom-made Onyks pistol, the ONLY company that has the import contract with Radom is I.O Inc - so now you have another fucktarded company to blame for this, as well as the ATF themselves. I'm not even surprised that the idiots at I.O. Inc. would be stupid enough to submit a 5.45x39 pistol. I don't doubt it for a second.

The biggest BS part about the ATF's statement is this:

ATF’s analysis also concluded that the ammunition could be used in a commercially available handgun, the Fabryka Bronie Radom, Model Onyks 89S, 5.45x39 caliber semi-automatic pistol, which was approved for importation into the United States in November 2011.

And what some are asking for surplus its more than you can buy non corrosive ammo for.

It is going to be a price jump and sucks but ammo will still be out there.  

AIM had a tin for  around .16 a round

New production can be had for .25 a round and it non corrosive and I am sure if you shop it can find it cheaper.

While I.O.inc is working with FB now, I don't know if they were working with them in 2011. FB has long been toying with entering the US commercial
market so they may have actually submitted it on their own. The truth is upper management at FB looks at the US market as little more than a free

NOBODY HAS EVER SOLD THE ONYKS PISTOL AS A COMMERCIAL PRODUCT.

How the fuck can it be "commercially available" if it has never been available for sale in the US? Import submission doesn't mean something is "commercially available," but I guess some lawyer could probably tell me otherwise.


While I.O.inc is working with FB now, I don't know if they were working with them in 2011. FB has long been toying with entering the US commercial
market so they may have actually submitted it on their own. The truth is upper management at FB looks at the US market as little more than a free
trip to Vegas for SHOT Show.....they don't understand commercial sales.....

I can't see I.O. Inc doing something like this, they better than most know how the ATF plays....my money would be on FB doing it themselves.....

BUT THE REAL POINT IS
5.45X39MM 7N6 AMMO HAS BEEN BANNED DUE TO A PISTOL WHICH
IS NOT IN PRODUCTION AND HAS NEVER BEEN IMPORTED TO THE US


THINK ABOUT IT............


Basically no different than them looking at the Obrez and declaring 54r dead if we're going to play the "it could exist therefore it is" game.

Prior to 7n6 ever being imported in quantity, Wolf and Barnaul 5.45x39 was being sold for around $99.00 a case.  I don't see the caliber becoming Unobtainium and the value of rifles dropping.  I've sold plenty of AK's over the last 12 years and never lost money on any of them.

Unless the ATF starts banning the importation of commercial ammo.  I have enough 5.45x39 ammo stashed for the rest of my lifetime.

What really makes this stupid is that any bottlenecked rifle ammo will zip right through a cop vest, even out of a pistol.

The definition in 18 U.S. Code § 921 (a)(17)(A) doesn't say anything about velocity.  A cartridge could contain no powder and still meet the definition if the projectile does.

I see 7.62x54R next. If you can't stop the weapons, then stop the ammo.

Silly question, but if congress passed a law banning the manufacture (by FFLs only) or importation of a handgun chambered in 7.62x54R, would that protect us from the same thing happening to that caliber as just happened to 7n6?
