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...

I’m thinking of adding a 7.62x39 rifle to my collection. Options for a compliant ak variant seem pretty limited, but these fixed magazine Czech rifles seem pretty solid and interesting to me. I wondered if anyone here had any experience with them? If you do have a compliant ak, I’d love to hear...

I have both a Ares SCR (bought it pre Fightlite) and a Kel-Tec RDB-C. The SCR will be going in for trigger work shortly as what you’ve read about the original triggers is basically true. That aside, it’s a good handy rifle and benefits from readily available aftermarket accesories. The RDB has...

If you’re on Long Island, I would visit Campsite Sport shop in Huntington station. They have a good selection of various compliant rifles.

Welcome aboard! I love the innovation you guys have brought to the firearms industry. If these do become available in New York, I look forward to having the opportunity to try one. I certainly have high hopes for it.

Maybe if I wasn’t living in NY. Here I’m regulated to a fixed magazine pistol at best. Which is great as a range toy, but all but useless in a practical sense beyond the first ten rounds. I have several bear flag defense speed loaders for my own fixed magazine rifles. They’re fantastic on the...

In the video I shared above Tim does a ballistic gel test from 15yds with the 5.56 version. It seems to produce a pretty significant wound cavity despite the fact that the rounds definitely are key holing. Franklin Armory also has slow motion footage of their 300 blackout variant firing 110...

I’ve seen these, they’re very intriguing. I only know of one FFL in my area that is willing to transfer them. The rest seem extremely reluctant to carry them. I’m not a lawyer or legal expert by any means, but it would seem to me that it would be more difficult for the powers that be to try...

Honestly, I’ve always felt the super short barreled ar pistols and similar firearms chambered in 5.56 were a bit silly. I would much prefer a projectile with substantially more mass for such a short weapon. I look forward to seeing what the 300 blackout does.

I’m curious, was he testing the 5.56 or .300 blackout variant? Obviously that’s not ideal if further testing confirms a lack of lethality at that distance. Than again, if the weapon is either for hunting or defensive use, who is really taking a shot at that distance? I could almost see the drop...

Can you elaborate please? I believe MSRP on these is under $1500.

They are actually developing their own projectiles which they claim will tighten the performance up to around 1 MOA or better. You can still use standard ammo as well of course. Honestly 3.5 MOA is better than most Stock Mini 14’s I’ve encountered, and this doesn’t have expensive proprietary...

This “firearm” has certainly kicked up a lot of dust within the online firearms community since it was introduced at Shot Show law year. After watching a few videos of the product being demonstrated at this years media day at the range event, I checked out the company’s website in order to...

That’s a fine pair of rifles You have there! How do you like that Burris scope? I have watched a few reviews on their product line, but I’m unsure of how they hold up long term. Is that a standard RDB handguard that you’ve replaced your stock one with? I thought of doing that with a green hand...

I have a sparc II on my Ruger PC9, I love what the Vortex optics offer in terms Of value for money.

I’ve got one, it’s a fun rifle. It’s wood and stainless. It has expensive proprietary mags, and isn’t all that accurate. I’ll enjoy them both for what they are.

I went down to a local gun show today with no intention of buying anything in particular. I ended up walking out having put a new Kel Tec RDB C on layaway. I’ve done the fixed magazine AR thing in the past, but I’ve honestly found myself a bit burned out on the AR platform in general as of late...

I’ve had a Mini 14 for a little over a year now, and if I’m honest, it’s become something of a love hate relationship. I really enjoy shooting the rifle, but sruggle to shoot respectable groups with it. I’m looking for ways in which I can improve accuracy. I’ve considered having be action bedded...

I took a few minutes and reviewed the handgun restrictions listed on the safe act website. Being that this is not manufactured as a pistol, and does not meet the federal definition of one, I don’t really understand what case the state would have against this. The Tac-14 and shockwave “firearms”...

Here’s another point in regards to compliance. Wouldn’t the shops selling these as good to go for NY, be taking a substantial risk, we’re that not the case?

If I can find a dealer in my area that will accept the transfer, this might turn in to a “shut up and take my money” situation in a hurry. I can understand the over abundance of caution some people are approaching this with. We’ve seen other company’s introduce so called NY compliant options...

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly makes these compliant? I’ve read through the information available on DLD’s website and I’m still a bit perplexed.

As much as I hate to say it, I’ve gotten a bit bored with black rifles and milsurps recently. I want to expand my firearm related horizons, and so I’ve been doing some research on other available options for fun plinkers. The magnum research .22 mag appeals to me because it seems ammo is fairly...

Hah! No such luck. I guess I don’t know the secret password.

I just purchased one of these carbines today. It feels extremely beefy and well put together. I’m excited to get it out to the range and put it through it’s paces soon. I’m on Long Island, and paid about $650 cash. Chester’s in Ronkonkoma has them in stock for anyone in the market.

I think I would just forget the brake all together. I’ve seen models offered that don’t have it specifically for NY compliance. I would rather have removable magazines. Bullet Guy, if I go the AR route I will definitely be in touch!

The M1A, and the Garand, are also up for consideration. I already own a SCR and mini 14. I am a fan of the Garand style action. I particularly like the scout squad M1A configuration that Springfield Armory offers. It’s a tough call. I know the rifles are loved by some, and hated by others.

Do you sell complete rifles? I only see parts listed for sale on your website.

I have owned firearms my whole adult life. I have not purchased a new modern semi auto rifle in some time. This is largely because I’ve been frustrated by the restrictions the safe act presents. I will shoot the rifle at the range on a regular basis at distances from 25-300yds primarily. I would...

The primary use of the rifle will be recreational shooting for the most part. If I were to go the AR route, what brands should I be looking at?

Hello all! I’m new to these forums, and currently researching my next rifle purchase. I’m interested in a semi auto of some sort. I’m wondering what you all believe is the best option available in terms of a featureless semi auto? I do not wish to build a rifle from parts. The M1A scout squad...
