Integral suppressor on a mosin?
Think broken glass, gravel, nails, nuts and bolts, tire chains, blinding flash and deafening roar, all coming at you at once.... Useless?
its not a C&R its classified as an antique due to being a muzzle loader I believe.
As to its value it would make one heck of a Punt Gun for market hunting waterfowl. About 300grs of 2F black powder and a 4 oz of #2 birdshot should do nicely.
Do they still let that go on these days?
ROFLMAO I don't think so. But after the balloon goes up who's going to care.
Negative it is Not a C&R, once it's modified in any way shape or form, it will no longer be a C&R ,,kinda like putting a ATI stock or something like that on a SKS,,it's no longer a C&R, it's a class 1 firearm then. Stupid I know,, but it is what it is. The law.
In this case with the bore diameter as large as it is, it may just be considered a "destructive device" actually or even maybe a NFA item. I'm not up to speed on either classifications? So someone is really pushing the legal limits with this thing if not already gone way beyond whats legal unless they have the appropriate licenses covering such things. Perhaps someone with way more experience here with that classification of fire arm can advise you on that one much better than I.
IMHO though,,,is damn foolish for even showing it here or any other place else at all,,,
One could very well end up sitting next to Bubba in cell block B for the next 10 to 12,,seriously!
I'd be taking this post down till someone knows for sure it's classification for sure. Then I'd only show it to someone , AFTER I had a BATFE letter in hand as to what's it's actual classification would be,,
whom ever built it or has it in there hands/possession is walking a very slippery tight rope here if you ask me!!!
But I'm not a lawyer or BATFE agent, so I could very well be way off base here ? But I'd be careful,,very very careful on this one.
