If you read the text of the 2018 bump stock reclassification "opinion" on page 43

"Alternative 3—Opportunity alternatives. Based on public comments, individuals wishing to replicate the effects of bump-stock-type devices could also use rubber bands, belt loops, or otherwise train their trigger finger to fire more rapidly. To the extent that individuals are capable of doing so, this would be their alternative to using bump-stock-type devices."

Twice a month I comb over all of the letters that ATF issue out to see if there has been any changes in regards to the use of rubber bands. In the past I have offered a cash reward to anyone who could find me an opinion letter from the ATF FTB (post 2018) saying that rubber bands are now a machine gun conversion part. No one has been paid!

Banning the installation of a rubber band in this manner would require the banning of the factory AR15 trigger return spring.
