A few .22s are listed on the Walther site as restricted in IL due to Melting Point. Buds has their own MP list for IL: Prohibited: Any handgun having a barrel, slide, frame or receiver that has a die casting of zinc alloy or any other non-homogenous metal, which will melt or deform at a temperature of 800 degrees F or less
I’ve scanned and attached a copy of the information describing the alloy composite for the Chiappa 1911-22. As is shown in the specifications, the melting point is 717-727 degrees Fahrenheit putting just below the requirements that Illinois has stipulated. Thank you again for the reference you sent.
I think this question has been answered 6-ways from Sunday but just making sure. A lady called me to ask if it is legal for her to own a Chippa SAA .22 replica revolver. Her son told her it was banned because of the melting point being less than 800 degree F. My understanding is licensed dealers ...
Control Act of 1968, manufactures, sells or delivers. to any unlicensed person a handgun having a barrel, slide, frame or receiver which is a die casting of. zinc alloy or any other nonhomogeneous metal which. will melt or deform at a temperature of less than. 800 degrees Fahrenheit.

On 8/4/2013 at 5:27 PM, Neumann said: Polymer handgun frames are injection molded, using equipment which starts at about $750 thousand. A single mold for a bottle cap runs about $50K, so I can only guess that a mold for a handgun would cost more than a house. There are other ways to make polymer parts beyond injection molding...

"Saturday Night Special" law, because of melting point temp of some of pistol components. They're not illegal to own but you cannot buy from FFL. The carbines are not affected.
14.4k. Location:District 42. Posted January 20, 2014 at 03:49 AM. Someone on the forum here said they weren't, but Wikipedia says they're made of a zinc alloy. Since we have a melting point law in Illinois, I'm wondering what the Hi-Points are made out of... well, the slides and the inserts anyway...
The steel version costs just a little bit more...like $20 I think. Bud's has had both in stock in the past, and the "no sales to IL" is not in the steel gun's listing. As I'm sure you know, IL has a "Saturday Night Special" law, which prohibits the sale of a gun with a melting point below a certain temp. I think its 500 deg. F.
Legal definition of a "junk gun" usually restricts the materials that can be used in the manufacture of the gun, targeting zinc castings, low melting points (usually 800 degrees Fahrenheit), powder metallurgy, and other low-cost manufacturing techniques.
