IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
ATF DECIDES THE AKINS ACCELERATOR™ TO BE A MACHINEGUN
Akins Group Inc. regrets to announce that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has reversed its position and has decided the Akins Accelerator™ to be a machinegun conversion kit, thereby subjecting it to strict regulation under the Gun Control Act (GCA) and National Firearms Act (NFA).

ATF rescinded its previous determination that the Akins Accelerator™ was not subject to the GCA or NFA (see http://www.firefaster.com/documentation.html). Attorneys for the Akins Group Inc. are seeking reconsideration by ATF of its new position. In the interim, any sale, transfer, or return of the Akins Accelerator™ must be suspended. Akins Group Inc. will advise further after meeting with ATF.

Akins Group Inc. has received no instruction as to the disposition of units in customer hands. Please refrain from public speculation and emotional responses and allow our Attorneys to advocate for everyone's best interests.


For those not in the know, the Atkins stock consisted of a stock that made the entire gun free float and uses a recoiling system to force your finger to push it again. Much like bumpfiring where you are still pushing the trigger every time.

When is the ATF going to go back to just caring about taxes?

Also, what is their answer to www.aw-sim.com ?

edit: Oh and does this mean I have to register my belt loops on my jeans now?

This was posted in another topic. No bumpfiring is not illegal because that's just a way of holding the gun; it doesn't involve any special add-on to the gun.

Seriously, how long has it been since that post was on the main page? Yesterday?

I only just now learned of the Atkins Accelerator "surprise".

If you visit their website at www.firefaster.com you will find a request for citizens to write the ATF on this issue. Example letters are posted at this site.

I'm sorry for the post and dash, I literally have to catch an airplane. I hope this works out for Atkins, and perhaps the people here at CalGuns can have a small role to play.

means one of the following devices:
(A) A device designed or redesigned to be attached to a
semiautomatic firearm which allows the firearm to discharge two or
more shots in a burst by activating the device.
(B) A manual or power-driven trigger activating device constructed
and designed so that when attached to a semiautomatic firearm it
increases the rate of fire of that firearm.
