A search of the BATF site at http://www.atf.treas.gov/core/regulations/27cfrpart047.htm#47.11

shows some of the original regulations - if there is a newer modification I have not been able
to find it on the site.

here is a snip of that article - I suggest you all try to wade through the whole thing
sometime...
