The Franklin Armory Reformation RS7 (brand part no. 00-10042-BLK) is a 5.56 NATO platform that Franklin Armory classifies as neither a rifle nor a shotgun, but simply a firearm regulated only by the Gun Control Act. This is possible thanks to Franklin Armory’s patented NRS (Not a Rifle or Shotgun) barrel technology, which uses a straight-cut land-and-groove design in its 7.5-inch full-contour barrel. Because it falls outside the legal definition of a rifle, the Reformation can be transferred by any Free State FFL without NFA registration or a tax stamp, even with its short barrel and B5 Systems Bravo stock attached. It comes ready to run with the Triumvir flash hider, a custom-tuned trigger, and an FST M-LOK handguard already installed.
