Anybody seen or shot one of these?  It looks like a way to get a sbr/sbs without NFA approval.  https://www.tactical-life.com/firearms/special-weapons/franklin-armory-reformation-firearm

I believe the ATF just released a new ruling making this non transferable for FFL's until they reclassify it. As far as the gun terrible accuracy and schooling beyond 50 yards with standard 5.56 ammunition. They were supposed to come out with some sort of football shaped ammo with fins on it in and couldn't get it to work so they game up.

Here's the info with the links to the ATF.

It's interesting, but is not much more than a range toy for the level of accuracy it is supposed to have.  It has a binary trigger, which is neat, but no rifling so it patterns more like a shotgun than a rife.  Would be good for spraying lead inside of 50yd.
