I would say that pretty clearly violates 22(a)(iv).

Since NY doesn't provide precise definitions, unlike even California, it's anyone's guess. The working assumption is that if the grip portion is part of the stock, a la Thordsen FRS-15, then it cannot be a pistol grip. The "proof" is that many, many of them have been sold in stores for years...

Tone aside, the OP said, " I thought the courts tossed the 7 round limit as too arbitrary." Edwardteach72 responded that the ruling was for rifle and pistol magazines, but also pointed out that even that penal law (for rifle and pistol magazines) hadn't even been amended to reflect that. He...

Yeah, my brain hurt after two lines. Here's the important part: Nice looking rifle.

BradN, if I'm not mistaken. Edit: his post and someone's who bought one from him

He said it took 6 months (due to COVID-19) and $280, so he clearly put quality as the first priority over speed and money. Apparently, he's been knocking on everyone's "door" to get an AK manufacturer to offer this as an option.

Personal AK of whomever posts Thordsen Customs FB page (not sure if that's Alan, himself, though I know he posts on YouTube): Took a Gen III stock and had it hydro-dipped in "maple" to match the forend. I suspect if you put this on a rack with other AK's in a free state, it would take a...

Awkward set of movements, but damn if that guy doesn't have the muscle memory to make it look smooth.

On the rights issue, the 1st does indeed protect from government restricting free speech. Among other things, the government cannot make laws that sensor/restrict speech (other than safety issues, such as screaming "fire" in a crowded room, or apparently hate speech), they cannot send agents to...

It's from a 12 ga. Remington 1100 Special Field: Takes just a little modification, like any other 1100 stock. I shortened the length of pull a little while also squaring up the pitch, and then add a thin Kick-Eez grind-to-fit recoil pad (which I actually ground after that pic was taken.) I...

True ... as long as you find out that it's crap when it doesn't really matter. Imagine if SHTF and, when trying to change a mag, it breaks off internally in way that keeps the mag from being releases or the mag release from being removed. Bet you'll wish you'd spent the extra $47 for the...

I had a Gen II Thordsen before, which I changed out after designing my own stock (I since moved on from that, since I felt even more confident in the SCR's legality ... though, both were, in my mind, legal ... I was worried about somebody else's interpretation.) To me, one could make a...

Only if you have an upper that doesn't require the buffer tube. For example, Brownell's BRN-180 or Faxon's ARAK-21 have both been used on SCRs with the Magpu SGA stock, but neither is a true AR upper. Still, makes for a pretty neat rifle. The picture that you posted, though, is a photoshop of...

Yeah, by Norgon. Colt Canada uses Norgon's patent for theirs, which is why they say "Thoroughly tested and used as an OEM Part by Colt." All a little misleading, and the price makes me wonder if they skimped on the manufacturing.

Both of mine were ordered years ago, too, but I used the KAC one. If you have reasonably long fingers, works great. The price on that AU one is intriguing. It's clearly a direct reproduction of Norgon's, but at 1/3 the price (that usually rings bells for me, as meaning a Chinese-brand copy.) I'd...
