Quoted:
I am now in possession of a current and recent ATF Determination letter.
It is legal to use a RDIAS in a COLT 901.
Letter is clear and says its legal.
I will likely post proof at some point. I currently dont have use of a scanner.
Approved to rock and roll .308 style.
You should understand what the scope and limitation are for letters of determination before you go distributing this to all comers. This is private correspondence between you and ATF, nothing more. It is not an official policy nor a binding position for ATF. They can change their mind at any time.
This is unfortunately the truth. They went after Len Savage even though they had issued him a letter.
Of course they can. However, I highly doubt they will prosecute either the current holder of the letter (or most likely anybody else that has a copy) without first issuing a retraction. If you want to be super safe you can write your own letter asking the exact same thing and get your own reply addressed to you. I personally think you are pretty covered up as long as you have a corespondence with them taking a position in writing, but there is nothing wrong with getting your own version either should you feel the need.
Worst case, you buy an LE901, the ATF changes its mind and says no at some point down the road. Just like the BRP XMG deal. You just dont put the DIAS back in.
Len is a special case as he has been poking the ATF in the eye for quite some time. I beleive with Len all they did was retract a tech branch determination letter, not actually try and put him in jail or prosecute him over his M11/9 belt fed conversion sample. However, somebody can correct me if I am wrong on that account.
