>Isn't it that one gun that got in trouble with the ATF because they labeled it as an actual gun while it was being sold as an air rifle due to its ammo?
I want to say possibly but I do remember I kept misremembering something about the rifle's history so I want to say that may be only partly true if at all. I do know that Daisy went on to later get an actual license to manufacture some time in the late 80s and would make some..."interesting" rifles. Things like the 2201 with a Zamak/zinc receiver (seems to be the same metal as their air rifles), quite nice adjustable buttplate, screw-ring attached polymer jacketed barrel, plastic faux-wood or real wood stock, and (in higher end models; 2201 is single shot with no feed tray) a rotary magazine that suspiciously looks like a 10/22 magazine (*IIRC). Daisy also made the 2203, a semi-auto 22 built on a similar receiver that has bulky plastic magazines with a weird (cheap) locking mechanism and a cocking mechanism mimicking the Winchester 1903. Yeah, the one with the plunger. Generic image for reference.
