[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 1649675, member: 204"] The original intent of the round (rifle or handgun) is irrelevant. The problem is that somone has commercially made handuns in 7.62x39 and .308 as well, so they fall under the "handgun" AP ammo defiinition as well even though they were originally intended for rifles. That is why the steel core 7.62x39 ammo is no longer imported and you cannot buy 5.56 M995 ammo which is a true AP round. Here is an excert from the article you linked: 3[I]) USE - The bullet must be able to be used in a handgun. Rather than construing this to mean regular handgun calibers, ATF construes this to mean any caliber for which a handgun has been made, including handguns in rifle calibers, like .308 Winchester, and 7.62x39, for purposes of bullets covered by (B)(i). Thus bullets suitable for these calibers, as well as other rifle calibers for which handguns have been made (at least commercially made) which are constructed as described below would or should be AP ammo.[/I] [/QUOTE]
