I have one on order. Hopefully picking it up from my FFL in the next week or so. I’ll comment further when it arrives.

over the last few weeks I’ve seen a number of upstate dealers advertise these kits for sale on social media. For those who may be unfamiliar, these are pistol chassis that accept most any Glock pistol and feature a folding brace. I know these have been out for a number of years now, but I had...

Thanks for the good info! It’s certainly a lot less expensive than the Thordsen stock, and something about the grip angle just seems as though it would be more comfortable/natural IMO. How is it in terms of doing a mag change?

Has anyone here dealt with this company before? I’d like a featureless AK so that I can maintain detachable mags, and they seem to offer an effective solution with their NYLAK stocks. If anyone here has done business there and can offer an opinion on how the stocks hold up/how ergonomic they are...

These just aren’t worth the level of risk that comes with them in my opinion. I understand that they nay be legal by the letter of the law, but as with most things that exist in a sort grey area, it’s not a problem until the day it is. I imagine some of the guys buying these things are shooting...

I’ve been wanting to add an AK to the collection for a while now, but most of the NYS compliant options I had seen previously left a lot to be desired. Recently a local dealer started offering AK’s with the Compmag fixed magazine solution installed coupled with a disabled mag release. These come...

If I could find one of these in stock locally it would be on my short list. Not the cheapest option, but certainly well built ak’s.

I don’t disagree with the idea that a rifle with a removable magazine is a better option for most practical applications. However, in NY fixed mag is the only way to retain the features many people want without going to a manually cycled weapon. Given that fact, it does make sense to optimize...

First of all, please forgive me if I’m beating a dead horse here. I am looking for clarification on weather ammo can be shipped directly to individuals in NYS? Information is conflicting on different sites and I don’t want to inadvertently violate the law. Do ammo sales need to transfer through...

I’m equally surprised that more people haven’t pursued making the fixed magazine option more user friendly. Clearing a malfunction on a fixed mag Ar is a pain in the ass at best. Certainly not something I’d want to do under stress. There have been some prototypes for lowers where the mag can be...

I don’t think I have. I own a mini 14. I’m talking about designing a rifle with a modern gas system that has greater accuracy than minute of barn and doesn't take expensive proprietary magazines. Giving those rifles a face lift essentially.

Came here to say that the VZ58 liberty is basically the closest thing to what you’re describing that’s currently available. They’re beautiful rifles, but as mentioned above, they are niche rifles due to the price point they sell at. What I would find much more appealing is if a company, like...

I’ve decided I’d like to add a lever gun to my collection. Currently I’m considering both the Marlin 1894 variants, as well as 1892/1873 Winchester models. I like the Marlin 1894 CSBL because it comes equipped with a pic rail and XS sights as standard, but I know Marlin had some pretty serious...
