If S&W made .75 magnum revolver I think it would be one of the most unique collectors items. I know most people would not be able to fire it but still it would be something special.
Hey S&W when are you going to make .750 magnum revolver?

I thought if it is a sporting gun there is no $200 tax. Just like 600 or 700 nitro express, I'm not an expert but I don't think there is any tax required on those guns.

.750 S&W MAGNUM
Folks
If I am remebering correctly, the GCA of 1968 forbids manufacturing of revolvers/pistols that have a bore diameter greater than .500.

Hasn't anyone seen the 600 nitro express revolver? Made in Austria I think.

Anyway, it's been done. You can see it mounted on a Sherman tank. Of course, that's not the highly-sought-after snubby model.

Ummm.. I'm pretty sure Austria isn't bound by US laws.. They can make all they want but wouldn't be allowed to import them here
That reminds me of that Taurus revolver they unveiled at shot show that was 28 gauge.

But I've heard mixed opinions of what ATF said about it. Originally they said it was against regs, but later I thought they had a way around it. Kinda like how they market the Mares Leg as a pistol instead of a short barreled rifle.
But with that said, if s&w made it, I'd buy one (or 2)

Well, if they could squeak it legally, 12 gauge is .73 caliber.
Like a mega-governor, maybe call it the President?

Yea, 'cause it's another bad idea!

Close, ATF has a 1/2" test "gauge" (for lack of a better word). If it falls through the barrel it is a Title II DD, if it does not then it is a Title I handgun.
The first Desert Eagle 50s failed the test since the polygonal rifling allowed the gauge to drop through. I forgot exactly how IMI changed the barrel to prevent the gauge from falling through
It would not have been against any regs. It might have been a Title II firearm instead of a Title I but there is no Federal law banning the manufacture of a 28 gauge revolver
If they manufacture it with a smooth bore, it becomes an AOW under the NFA Title II and would be subject to a $5 transfer tax on Form 4 instead of no tax on the usual 4473.
I would bet that Taurus is trying to get it classified as Title I so it transfers tax free
The Mares leg is a pistol, no rifle stock was ever attached to the receiver. To be a rifle, it has to have a rifle stock. Once a rifle always a rifle. If you cut down a rifle stock you have a short barreled rifle.

That would be one seriously large and massively heavy revolver. If loaded to the same levels as the .500 is currently, pretty violent recoil. Just stating the obvious here.
I think I'd pass on buying such a device if it were ever produced which I seriously doubt. Don

Sorry, I forgot the segment of the membership who takes everything as serious and should have added one of those indicators known as a smilie
Information that is wrong and misleading to other Forum members that are already confused over the GCA and NFA does not become a joke if you put a smiley on it. It is just wrong information
You made a mistake, perhaps mis-remembered a fact or maybe mis-heard that fact in the first place. Big deal we all make mistakes.

I saw at lgs 600 nitro express rifle and it did not require any 200 tax. Apparently it depends on if it is for hunting/sporting porpoise.
