Adjustable stock legalities

[Guywithquestions]

I just went into a local gunshop asking about uppers and a random guy starting talking how adjustable stocks aren't legal. I said yes they are if the magazine is pinned. Along with a pistol grip. Are they actually legal and can you show proof?

Tech. there is nothing in the law about pinned mags.

It just says semi-auto with detachable magazine + anything else is illegal

Just read the SAFE Act. It's as clear as can be.

The question is "are they illegal/can you show proof", not the other way around. There is nothing illegal about them. They are illegal to have on a semi auto with a detachable magazine however.

Rule # 1:
Dont believe what you hear at a gun shop...from behind the counter or in front.


By "pinned nagazine" I take it you mean non removable.
If so. the rifle does not fall under the category of " assault rifle" and you may have all the scary features you desire.
https://safeact.ny.gov. will provide guidance.

I live in upstate NY. Last month I bought an AR15 in Syracuse NY with non removable mag. It has adjustable stock, pistol grip, muzzle brake, and forward hand grip. Totally legal. Use an ejection port speed loader and it's good to go.

2A all the way!

Use the little interactive tool on the safe act web site. Non removable mag says it's not an assault riffle and therefore legal.

i went shooting my mini-14 ranch and put the stuck under my shoulder so it was fully adjustable .. at one time it felt like a pistol .. ...

FUAC

BTW .. I think there should be a a law on automobile seats .. they shouldn't be adjustable .. just one setting that fits all .. could save some lives ..

Buying it, even from a gun store, does not automatically mean it is legal. Wasn't there a store in Albion that got hassled/closed by the State because it was selling ARs with bullet buttons?

So now we can't even use the proper (made up) terms? Do we really want to conflate ARs with fully automatic firearms?
The unConstitutional S.A.F.E. Act calls them "assault weapons" because the Dems knew that using "assault rifle" would be immediately shot down, as "assault rifle" already has a clear definition. They needed something vague enough to evoke fear and that they can then use against any kind of gun they want.

I have read the Stupid...I mean SAFE act. My carbine is legal. What I like about the firearm is that was made in Onieda NY. While at the Syracuse Gun show, I bought it directly from the guys that manufactured it.

2A all the way!

"Rumor has it" upstate they are fine as long as there's nothing on the gun you can poke to drop the mag without taking it apart, while downstate your scary black rifle might get you arrested first, investigate later.

Boils down to what does "semiautomatic" and "ability to accept a detachable magazine" mean. If you don't have both of those any stock is fine. The finer details haven't been tested and the state is being no help at clearing that up. If you're not a test case you're fine. If you are a test case then you are in a world of pain.
