NY State Compliant AR-15 Stocks ?

Tisto · Apr 23, 2026

To my knowledge, there have been no prescedent setting cases that would determine which stocks, grips, or other modifications that would make your rifle compliant, and NYS wants to keep it that way. Should you get caught up in a legal matter, it's likely that whether your rifle is compliant and you will be charged with a SAFE ACT violation will be up to the DA's office. The best you can do is read the law and make modifications as best you can to show you are attempting to comply. Also, don't do stupid shit that might draw the attention of the Purple Tie Brigade in the first place.

Keep an eye on the classified section. People are moving out of this shithole to FREE AMERICA and they sell unnecessary items like that.

Why does a Jersey boy concern himself with NYSAFE ?

The stock pictured looks perfectly compliant to me.

Using a modified grip or one of the inverted "Shark Fin's" seems to be an option so long as there are no visible threads or muzzle devices, vertical for-grips, and gun stock doesn't fold or collapse.
There were a lot of Thordsen Stocks made, and from time to time they'll pop up in the marketplace, most internet gun boards have a classified section which is a good place to look since as soon as folks move to Free States, they take all that shit off.
It's turned to a monster, but ar15.com has a pretty good Equipment Exchange with most people, especially those with long history are good to go.
Beware we have a Member that fancies himself an expert and tries to discourage MSR's unless they were Registered like his.

Not knocking you for being a Jersey boy, just curious as to why you were trying to comply with unconstitutional NY laws. Myself, I'm from the other end of the State. We actually have cows and tractors and stuff like that. However, we're STILL not far enough away from the rotten apple.

Devil's advocate: One could claim that the picture shows a THUMBHOLE STOCK.

As @FP1201 says, beware the rantings and ravings of ANTIFREEZE. In his mind, he knows EVERYTHING.

I have a Thordsen I'd part with. I can get pictures tomorrow.

I installed it but not sure I ever fired a shot

Thordsen was/is the only option for a featureless stock that actually gets the OK from those who rule us. For a stock and grip combo you can go with the Magpul MOE Fixed Stock. I have one and they are pretty nice. As for a NY legal grip? You have two options: The spur or a fin grip.

I recently bought the Juggernaut because a local shop swore to me, it was compliant. Three guys who work there have told me the same story, so I bought it. After a week or so of debate with myself, I called the phone line. I was informed that if you can grip it, and it goes below the mag well or trigger guard is it not compliant. No matter the angle. So Sparrow, Juggernaut, and all of those CA compliant grips are not legal here on a featureless rifle. But, you can put them on a fixed mag rifle. Why anyone would bother putting any of those on a fixed mag is beyond me but..........................

Needless to say, I now have a $100 paperweight.

................and meanwhile, in Albany the cacophony of laughter can be heard through-out the halls of Empire State Plaza as Democrats and RINOS read of the contortions honest gun owning citizens are going through trying to attain legality within the unconstitutional framework of laws they have shit on them, knowing their legislation is ambiguous enough that no matter the compliance, they can still have a felony waiting for them because Disarmament is the real objective. They are truly amused at the agonizing they have wrought.

Outside of the big communist cities like NYC, Buffalo, Rochester and Albany, and the communist counties like Westchester, and anywhere the NY State Police patrol, is the "assault weapon" feature ban really enforced? I never hear of only a feature arrest unless its tacked onto some other charge.

From what I've seen, it's usually someone busted for something else and that gets tacked on.

Most people have them hid under their basement floor or tucked in the back of the safe.

Here in real upstate, yes, the laws are enforced. Most law enforcement aren't putting their job on the line so people can have illegal guns. YMMV.
Add that that a lot of shops don't even know the laws and it can lead to a fun little trip where you spend some time in a place where brown eyes get poked.

I know not every arrest gets published but I have never read of any safe act only or feature only arrest. Like stated, they only seem to tack it on along with something else. I have read in the past where some upstate jurisdictions will not enforce the safe act.
