Is this interpreted by MSP as ALL Bushmaster semi auto rifles?
I have my eye on a K&M M17S308 bullpup http://www.kmarms.com/M17S308.html. With a 20" barrel it doesn't meet the criteria for a "copycat" weapon, but I'm worried that if the Bushmaster M17S falls under the Bushmaster ban umbrella, this K&M Arms rifle could be construed as a "copy" (distinct from "copycat").
I noticed on the MSP website it mentions that a "copy" needs to both look like AND be 100% functionally swappable with a banned weapon...obviously a the guts of a .308 will not functionally swap with a .223...be that as it may, I'd really like to get something in writing. What's your guys' take on this? Suggestions? Thanks.
PS I should add that the manufacturer, two MD FFLs, and MSP all informed me via phone call that, given their understanding, they did not see a problem. Am I being paranoid wanting more concrete assurances?
