Looks like they made a short barreled firearm that can't be classified as an SBR and isn't a pistol either. They went through the legal battles and won and instead of keeping the technology to themselves will license it to other manufacturers.

How is this different than the shockwave style "firearms"?

Yeah... seems like they're scrubbing it for some reason. All the videos and actual product links from Franklin are gone...

Very weird it looks like everything got scrubbed. I found this video talking about it getting taken down and some info about the firearm



This video does a pretty good summary of what was in the Franklin Armory video

The video in the OP that Franklin Armory posted, and then took down, specifically talked about the 5.56 NATO version of the Antithesis.

The ATF tweeted this out yesterday.

I'm always glad to see the ATF lose.

On another note, not sure why anyone SBR's anything with the advancement of "pistol braces".

Sounds like shortly after Franklin went public with their video the ATF sent them a letter asking for all Antithesis to be returned for "re-classification" so they have asked all their customers to ship them back for a refund.

But it is unclear what the ATF can do given the recent court decision and settlement with the US
government.
