So, my pal from South Carolina is spending the rest of summer in NY and wants to know if he can bring his T/C .22.

It has that little threaded thing on the muzzle so I am thinking it is not legal in this shit hole but don't really know anymore because laws no longer make any sense. Just don't want him getting in trouble, especially over something so stupid. He did three tours in RVN, I don't want him doing one tour in a NY gulag.
I hate this effing state.

Threaded muzzle is a no go I'm afraid.
It would be good if weren't for that.

Yea, that 'evil, assault rifle', would be illegal because it has an 'evil feature'! What a fucking joke NYS is.
It's a .22 rifle, the fact that this is even a question makes NYS a ridiculous place.

What he can do is put blue loctite on the threads and barrel cap to temporarily disable the threaded muzzle feature. While not 100 percent legal as per ATF methods, I seriously doubt an LEO would even give a gun like that a second look. And if he did and tried to unscrew the cap with his hand and failed due to the blue loctite, I also seriously doubt that he would take the rifle into custody to throw the barrel in an oven or use a heat torch to disable the blue loctite to be able to unscrew the barrel cap.

Ny has no approved method of affixing a barrel cap to disable the threads. Only the ATF does and this will not fall under any ATF laws to be broken.

Are you CRAZY!!!!!!
Do you know how deadly threads can be?

If you were to stick someones finger in the barrel and twisted, they could get a nasty papercut.......that cut can get infected.....boom DEAD.

No sir, banned for a damn good reason buddy.

I would use red just to be safe and claim it's not threaded. That spot is easy enough to get a torch on to remove. Heat it right on the protector, remove and get a new protector.

Sadly, the threads have been filed off. FUAC!

Please tell me he didn't file them off just to take them to that god forsaken state!

I'd buy the biggest dildo you can find, get a bushing threaded and mounted in the end, drill a .23 hole in it, and have the little prince's name plastered all over it. Shoot as many rounds as possible.

Now I want to try this and see if it works as a suppressor......

Can you see the muzzle blast inflating it like a balloon, then it deflating with a long farting sound through the exit hole.

You might end up in court, and if the ATF lawyer can keep a straight face long enough as he explains how dangerous it is you might end up in prison, but you'd have a hell of a story to tell.

The Thomson Center site said this 22 is compatible with most 10/22 after market parts, I could have sent you a take-off barrel. It your's if your friend would want it. I just have to dig it out!

I suppose too as long as it stays at or above 16" he could always cut the end off and recrown. Basically just shorten the barrel.

Damn shame to do that, everything I've seen these are very nice.

For the price of a .22 I would have just bought another one...

This seems like the obvious answer to me.
Why the hell would you take a file to a perfectly good set of barrel threads?!?

Because we are ruled, not governed by a constitution and its his gun and his decision. Truth is, if he wanted to buy a couple dozen of them, it wouldn't even be a dent for him. No shame for him, the shame is with those that pass these stupid laws that have nothing but control as the ultimate objective, and when control has reached its tipping point, confiscation.
Baby steps.
