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...

CTRL+Z until you get back to before you took out the bolts? Oh, wait, that doesn't actually work in real life. Would be really cool if it did, though. ;)

Both of mine are Ares-branded, but just after the initial batch with the terrible triggers. I also dropped in JP reduced-power hammer springs. They're not precision triggers, by any means, but they are decent. At least as good as Mil-Spec.

Verb: If you assault someone, you will be arrested. Noun: The latest session of the state Senate was an assault on our 2nd Amendment rights. Adjective: The M4 is an example of an assault rifle. (Though, technically, the last one's a noun being used as an adjective, so kinda both.) And 'Assault...

That's how I ended up here: Doesn't get any NYSAFEr than that. ;) Technically, 1100, since that already accommodates a similar recoil system. While most 1100 stocks will fit 870s (the 1100 being a successor to the 878, which was in essence a gas-operated 870, this makes sense), the opposite...

I'll chime in on the original discussion. This is where clarity in written law is important. Rochester, as many of you know, has a five-round magazine limit for semiauto centerfire rifles. The Assault Weapon language says: In the case of a rifle, a fixed or detachable ammunition feeding...

Paul Harrell's been around for a long time. His videos are great. Yeah, he usually doesn't do huge samples, but his tests are more about practical application. He likes to (somewhat) debunk commonly held beliefs by showing that the real (practical) difference isn't as big as people expect.

I usually don't post something without double-checking it, but admittedly did so in this case. Thought that was part of NYSafe. Searching on it, I'm still not convinced either way (there are arguments suggesting that lending -- not just letting someone you're with use it -- may fall under...

Not sure what you mean in #1. The OP asked "can he loan it to me if I want to take it to the range," suggesting that they wouldn't be going together ("I want to take it to the range" as opposed to "when we go to the range.") In which case, it's illegal whether compliant or not. My additional...

As others have said, either fix a 10-rounder (or 5-rounder if you or the range is in Rochester, NYC and possibly a few other cities) or have him leave it at home. I would also add that he can't "loan it to (you) to take it to the range," especially if it's not compliant. It's illegal, either...

Am I the only one who's not a fan of the "handguard so long that you can't tell if there's a barrel" look? Been seeing it a lot on AR's and SCR's, too. Doesn't help that the handguard just ends with a straight vertical front edge. Reminds me of a bad SiFi blaster. I know that aesthetics are...

What's amazing is that it went 2300 ft (767 yards) vertically before falling to the target. :oops:

Semi-auto, detachable magazine = no FH/MB, no threaded barrel, no foregrip, no collapsible stock, no pistol grip Almost everything* = no capacity over 10 rounds You can't even have a good ol' fashion walnut/blued lever with a mag tube that holds > 10*. * Interestingly, .22 cal tubular...

:rock:

The implication of your post seemed to be that "compliant" (in the general sense) meant that you could have all that stuff, when only one of the two ways to be compliant (with a semi-auto rifle) actually does. It would be clearer to those less familiar with the laws to stick with "fixed mag" as...

It sounds like you are using "compliant" to mean fixed mag, because a fixed mag lets you use all that other stuff. However, a detachable magazine featureless (no pistol grip, fixed-stock, no foregrip, no muzzle device) build is usually called a "compliant" AR, too. "Fixed mag" and...

Definitely an SCR lower. Design is idenctical. I can't read the rollmarks on the side, so it may or may not say FightLite. They licensed their lower to Jesse James before, so they might have done that with these guys, too.

Even worse, it Rochester and NYC, you can only have 5 in a semi-auto rifle (in Roch, that's just for centerfire.) In my 16" Marling 1894, I can get 9+1 of certain .38 special rounds, and 8+1 of just about any other .357/.38. Of course, 5+reload+5 is still probably faster on a semi, as long as...

Hmmmm ... Clearly. While I doubt anyone will ever have issues running one of these, the argument in the first line is the worst/weakest justification for "not a pistol grip" that I've ever seen. (1) They make metal pistol grips for ARs, as they even acknowledge with "for the most part," and...

This is the only Jubilee model that I covet ... Rifle is nice, though.

I'd wait an extra month for free feed ramps and a free loader. At least they are upfront about the delay, instead of just quietly delaying without explanation or compensation.

The hardest part of building a lower is not launching a pin or detente somewhere that you can't find it. There are tools made for some of these (for example, the front pivot pin spring/detente) and you can take steps to minimize the chances of losing it, like installing it inside of a plastic...

The reality is that the people who know and care about the crap they pulled are relatively few (despite being over-represented here) compared to those who are blissfully unaware. As you say, like it or not, they aren't going anywhere.

I'm curious about this. I installed a Geissele SMR onto an ASA upper, initially without grease, and there was a good-size gap between the upper and the rail, even after backing it off and re-torquing. After adding a little grease, I re-installed it and the gap was almost completely gone.

I have a 3 oz tube of Lucas Red "N" Tacky #2 (540F, Fortified w/ Anti-Seize, NLGI Wheel Bearing & Chassis Lubricant) that I am going to try going forward. I know others have used it without issues and it's cheap.

I thought that was bad ... until they showed the piece of the stock that went through his safety glasses and into his eye socket! :confused:

I've been looking at police trade-in 870's, myself. Good find!

Looks similar to an SPR profile (usually, 0.84" behind the gas block, 0.75" gas block journal, 0.73" in front of journal), perhaps closer to 0.80" behind the gas block, so 2lbs 6oz is about what I would expect for an 18" barrel. This one is 41 oz. As is this one. This one is 40 oz. And you...

I'm feeling to lazy to search, but NFA or not, doesn't NY have its own law against select-fire rifles, like they do for other NFA items (SBR, SBS, suppressors, etc)?

That was specific to the City of Rochester, which restricts centerfire rifle magazines, feeder strips and stripper clips to 5 rounds. So, inside the city limits, a 10-round MA feeder would likely be consider illegal. AR-10 version coming: Looks a little harder to push in.

Hope it works. That would look nice. It comes in M-Lok, too.

You did click the link, right? Leapers (UTG) does it for you. :cool:

Actually, I think this would look better on your build.

Couldn't find anything about an acronym, COLPS. A colp is a strike or hit in Old French. In English, it's an alternative form of collop, which is a type of sliced meat. I'm going with the Old French on this one.

There are two different devices in this thread. The Mean Loader (shown in OP) feeds in from the ejection port (with or without the option feed lips) and does not require breaking the rifle open. Cleck just posted the ARSafe feeders, which basically just assist in quickly feeding a fixed mag...

In the City, itself, you are only allowed to have 5 rounds in a semi-auto, center-fire rifle, whether the mag is fixed or detachable. Separately, you can't possess an Ammunition Feeding Device (as defined above.) Interestingly, it says that for a rifle to be an Assault Weapon based on...
