Cane gun legality...

[J]

A cane gun is regulated as an AOW or "Any Other Weapon" in the NFA.

You will have to complete a form 1, get CLEO signature (or go trust/LLC) and wait for the tax stamp before manufacturing the cane gun.

AOWs are cheaper to transfer between owners... only $5.00 instead of $200.00. Unfortunately, MANUFACTURE of an AOW is still the normal $200.00.

But what makes it a "cane"?
As far as i can tell its a rifle with a silly stock.

From what ive gathered is, the only reason you would need a tax stamp is if it were a "any other weapon" or if it was a SBR. Since its not a SBR and as long as i dont change the way the gun shoots or try to hide the mechanism then it doesnt need a tax stamp.

Perhaps, but I'd say you are in a grey area at best. I might recommend writing to the BATFE FTB, and get an opinion letter to cover your butt before you make such a device. Since the ATF's definition of "AOW" explicitly includes the term "cane gun", I wouldn't risk it myself. It looks like a cane, and it is a gun, therefore "cane gun" a prosecutor may reason.
