Can anyone tell me when and why the NFA rifle barrel length was changed from 18" to 16"?
Originally, rifles and shotguns both had an 18" limit.
And this : "Machine gun." (b) The term "machine gun " means any weapon which shoots,
or is designed to shoot, automatically or semiautomatically, more
than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of
the trigger.
