The statute reads "beryllium copper". There is a typo or deliberate use of a comma between "beryllium" and "copper" in the BATFE announcement.

Don't forget about the open comment period for this.

We don't want anyone taking the chance to back-door us, while the potential AWB is in the spotlight.
 
Don't be shocked. The BATF is always the shock troops of the President in power. If the President is pro-gun the BATF if pro-gun. If the president is anti-gun the BATF is anti-gun. The BATF is is the one federal agency that is totally political.
