Unless you change the firearm to use a caliber that's banned, there's nothing to prosecute AFAIK.


Are there any banned calibers? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Anything over 50 cal (federal ban).

There are exceptions and permission is needed.

I don’t think there’s a “federal ban” on “anything over 50 cal.”  They are NFA regulated destructive devices; need a tax stamp just like an SBR or suppressor, I believe.
