Some Questions.
Form 1 required for the pistol or the upper? Can the pistol be carried separately after the Form 1 is approved? |

Great! A rifle with no safety and before somebody says something the Glock's safety is the holster.

This product converts a pistol into a short barreled rifle (SBR). SBR are regulated under the laws of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). It is illegal to possess this product unless it is registered with Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives BATF&E (Form 1) or you are a Class 3 Dealer. It is illegal to transfer this product to anyone before they have registered this product with BATF&E. |

Anyone else notice in the video (at about 1:08) the silencer/suppresor flopping around with each shot?

the suppressor is attatched to the barrel of the glock, not the part being sold here. I dont own a glock, but I believe this is actually a result of the barrel unlocking and tilting up slightly when the slide racks

The rear portion of the barrel drops down (thus causing the barrel to be angled upward) when it unlocks from the slide during the slide's rearward travel. Thus, a suppressor attached to the barrel will tilt up as the action cycles following each shot. I think just about every modern semi-auto pistol uses a tilting barrel feature similar to this. |

Can you not describe it as an assault rifle? The term is both inaccurate and a word we don't want associated with semi-automatic handguns, carbines, and rifles.

AR15.com Member Aperdue writes: "the suppressor is attatched to the barrel of the glock, not the part being sold here. I dont own a glock, but I believe this is actually a result of the barrel unlocking and tilting up slightly when the slide racks"
In this case, the suppressor is not actually mounted to the Roni. It is mounted to the glock and is a separate part of the Roni. As AR15.com member "aperdue" points out, when the barrel unlocks and the slide moves back to rack another round, there is a slight tilt. This action occurs with any silencer attached to a pistol, it is just more noticeable in this instance since the suppressor is contained by the Roni which is stabilized. This is NOT a malfunction of the product. Repeatable zero is maintained while removing and reinserting the firearm. If you have any other questions about this product, please feel free to give us a call at 215-949-9944. Thank you for your interest in EMA products. |

Hello All,
I personally played with this conversion at the 2010 Shot Show in the EMA booth. Here are my 2 pennies. First 80% of the reps there did not speak english very well. The first thing I asked was if there would be a Form 1 Involved. They looked at me like I was from another planet. Almost like..."Wait, there are laws in America?" We thought you cowboys all shot on site and went to the sheriff if the natives got restless. Anywho, beside the fact that they had no answer for me about the Form1 I touched and played with the kit. It's all "polymer" and felt...Cheap. I'm leaving this conversion to the airsoft guys. |

Were an Israeli company and the RONI is an Israeli product, during the Shot Show key personal from our parent company join us and Im sorry you had a problem communicating with our counterparts. Im sure if you would have asked they would have let you speak to one of us from EMA, their American counterpart. Yes, the product is polymer just like almost every other gun accessory on the market. The RONI is reinforced with metal where it needs to be and it comes with a life time warranty. I fired the RONI during media day and it shoots as good as it looks, it felt very solid and balanced. The device easily doubled the accuracy of the GLOCK 17 inside it. Please see attachment on where we stand with the classification of the RONI as of February 22, 2010.

Michael,
Thank you for bringing another product to our market. I would like to see if you could clarify a few points about 'THE RONI'(called the stock from this point onward). It is my understanding that this product in combination with the appropriate pistol is considered an SBR per the National Firearms Act of 1938. Is the NFA serial numbered part the pistol or the stock? Do you have any information from your legal staff(or hired attorneys) on the legal status and/or any special restrictions regarding having an NFA registered combination of the stock and pistol? Does the pistol and stock have to be stored assembled? * Once the NFA tax stamp has been received, does the owner have to take the stock with him? Scenario is that the owner wants to go to an IPSC match with his GLOCK 17L that has the NFA tax stamp to be used with the stock. Must he take the stock with him to the match? * Thanks for the time in answering my questions. (* read this on another forum) |

Thank you for your interest. In reply to your questions:
1. At this time the stock does not have a serial # or a plate to stamp a serial # on. However, this is not a final determination. 2. We are waiting to get a classification from ATF for the RONI. 3. After classification by ATF and with consultation with council and ATF we will determine if it is prudent to serialize the stock. 4. Regarding special restrictions: Until we receive classification from ATF, we are unable to determine. 5. Regarding storing the product assembled: Again, until we receive classification from ATF, we are unable to determine. I hope this answers your questions for now. As we determine the facts, we will post them on our web site. Thank you for you interest in our products and your patience as we await final answers. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at www.ematactical.com |

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at www.ematactical.com Note: I am not the ATF, nor do I play one on tv. The following is just my opinion. Considering that this product does not and cannot fire rounds by itself, it is not a firearm and cannot be considered a firearm. It's just an accessory similar products have existed / do exist. This product is similar to other products that add stocks to weapons e.g.:
However, by adding this accessory to your pistol, you DO, in fact, convert your pistol into a short barreled rifle. As such, you will need to register your pistol with and receive the appropriate NFA tax stamp from the ATF. This means that if you remove your pistol from this product, to carry it concealed, for instance, you must still carry a copy of the NFA tax stamp with you at all times. Not really that big of an issue, I just get mine shrunk down (to about the size of a baseball card) and laminated and can keep them in my wallet/bag/truck/etc. Now, while I've never put my hands on one (but hope to, at some point), it looks much nicer than most of the other similar products out there and I do like the idea of a separate charging handle and rails for optics/sights. Considering all of the above, I would personally prefer to purchase/use a handgun dedicated for this accessory and carry my current pistol for concealed carry. This way there's no confusion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes for EMA: The term "assault rifle" has a specific meaning fully automatic fire. I suggest, if I may, that you use a different term like sub-gun or something equivalent. And specifically call out that this product does not enable/provide full automatic fire capabilities remove all question from potential buyers and law enforcement agencies. I really hope you guys do a model for the springfield XD and design it such that it will accept EITHER the service (4" barrel) or the tactical (5" barrel) models. From the sample images for the "coming soon" xd-kit, it looks like only 4" models will fit. Rather disappointing as I prefer the 5" models, myself. Good luck w/ your new product. Snootch. |

Not really that big of an issue, I just get mine shrunk down (to about the size of a baseball card) and laminated and can keep them in my wallet/bag/truck/etc. I'm not sure if that is a legal requirement but is such common sense that one should act like it is. Considering all of the above, I would personally prefer to purchase/use a handgun dedicated for this accessory and carry my current pistol for concealed carry. This way there's no confusion. My concern is for those people that don't have a duplication here. On another forum, a poster said that he got a letter when he inquired about another competing product that he had to have that stock with him at all times when it was out of his house and would have to be stored attached. He did not post a pdf with his personal info redacted so I cannot vouch for this. Even if he did, the letter would only apply to the addressee. That is why I was wanting to have the company's counsel get a determination from the ATF on what weird restrictions that they would have on it. I respectfully request that mentioning or linkage to other products be kept out of this thread unless for specific clarification like Snootchie did for the same reason we don't step on threads in the EE. |
