“Under no pretext"

Rules (Under review):

1. NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com
1. Censor all personally identifiable information in posts including serial numbers on firearms.
1. Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
1. Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
1. Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

On one hand, whatever guns he does make would be Zip .22-tier disasters. On the other hand, it would lose terminally online right-wing gun nuts (and potentially a military contractor or two if he leverages his SpaceX contracts) a lot of money.

Why do I immediately know that whoever made that monstrosity went "Hey, why can't you make a modern musket?"

The designer's name is J.D. Jones, he works for SSK Industries and is mostly known for making wildcat cartridges.
You can absolutely make a musket in the modern day. If it's a muzzle loader, it isn't even considered legally a firearm in the U.S., much less subject to any kind of regulation.

Unless you made everything chrome-lined, the powder fouling would corrode those parts incredibly quickly.

i've got bigger problems if i need more than 15-20 shots.

i forget what it's called but there's some not-actually-black powder that doesn't foul nearly as much and can be used instead of actual gunpowder that sounded like it could run for a couple mags if you had a fat gas port.
