    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.

    You can write to:
