MSR Pistol Designation In Doubt?

[Double Naught Spy]

Seems the Boston ATF has really put the cart in front of the horse and stepped in the muffin.

Q doesn't seem willing to just roll over on this...

Excellent on Q. However, they have a lot to lose in the deal, so I am not surprised and certainly glad they are fighting. They are capitulating to a certain extent, maybe in good faith, in trying to derive solutions that would not push the company into bankruptcy such as retrofitting braces that have been approved by the ATF. Section III was interesting in that Q is now submitting other weapons for ATF approval to make sure they are in compliance.

The ATF has nothing to lose. Did they step in the muffin? Maybe, but they are part of the federal government. It isn't like the ATF is going to jail or out of business over this. Even if Q were to sue for damages and win, the ATF isn't going away. Nobody will cut their power. Despite the protestations of Q on how the ATF handled the matter, Q is still very much in limbo.
