Sweet! I doubt a two shot .22 would be of much use to a hijacker in this day and age though. I know that if someone tried to hijack my plane with that thing they would get a couple of backhand smacks and a thorough talking to...

It's hard to say from the photo, but I'm guessing the "keyring" is actually used to draw back a springloaded firing pin. I used to have a flare discharger whatsit that was similar.

they didn't try to smuggle it aboard a plane , but they found it on someone in the arrival hall.
must have been waiting for somebody........

We are getting those turning up more and more, usually linked with S.E.A. nationals involved in big cannabis cultivation. Coming in through France I am led to believe, presumably that is to do with the old French Indo Ch.links.

I believe it would be legal in Texas if it was registered as a "Any Other Weapon" and a $5.00 transfer tax paid.

It has to be manufactured by a gun company to be eligible under AOW - It's not if it’s a homemade burner (I believe)

Rather than homemade, someone is churning them out, as the ones I have seen are identical to each other and the one at the top of this page. Possibly a garage entrepreneur, but a good one, as they are well finished.

I would believe You are correct, but think you could legally make one yourself with an atf approved form one .

You are "making" a firearm (an NFA firearm, specifically) when you submit a Form 1. Move to 27 CFR 179.102, "How Must Firearms be Identified?"

"You, as a manufacturer, importer, or MAKER of a firearm, must legibly identify the firearm as follows..." whereby the additional marking requirements are listed.

It would be pretty easy with a CNC machine.

BTW I like your new avatar COPPER.

Form 1 it as an AOW, wait for approval before manufacturing and it would be perfectly legal in any state that allows AOWs. Same for Cane guns, Crutch guns, Pen guns etc.
