Most models of Ruger mini 14 are already compliant I wouldn’t bother trying to modify one. Just wait until you move and buy an aftermarket stock that you like.
Yes, it is stock but adding a pistol grip and a telescoping stock will make it illegal unless its a single shot or a bolt action
what is the rush? You are moving so get one after you leave the PRNY or get a compliant one and buy the non compliant stock pistol grip combo when you are in Free America.
but yes if it is not a semi auto rifle it can have all the features you want.
Well because I'm impatient and want to express my 2a as soon as possible while trying to not go to jail. Plus my lease doesn't end for another year. Who wants to wait that long? Lol

Good luck with it, most gun shops are closed.
Omg I know! Thanks Cuomo! I really really try to be nice, but that guy is the reason I'm getting out of NY. He's a amateur dictator

But a professional dick.
Because I want a mini 14. Plus, putting a sealed gas block can be changed back later without damaging the gun. I can't just unfix a mag. At least with the gas block I can take apart the gun and put in the original gas block once I'm out of Ny.
Nothing in law says mod has to be permanent... that would apply equally to gas block or mag. Hey do whatever floats your boat. As already suggested keeping your Mini-14 compliant until you leave NY would seem to be best of both worlds. Good luck.
Thanks! That's what I'm trying to do, keep things compliant. Hence the question, is that acceptable to block gas making it a single shot so I can have a telescopic stock and pistol grip. I keep seeing things like you must weld or epoxy things like threaded barrels and put a permanent pin in the buttstock so it can't move any longer. It's really a gray area. Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately no definitive guidance offered by NYS so any workarounds are pretty much at your own risk. Believe the permanence talk is carrying over from prior law when fully functional AR with pistol grip was allowed in NYS so long as there were no barrel threads or collapsible stock. Note nothing in prior law about permanence either but seemed to be generally accepted practice at that time.
Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for your time. I'll see about consulting with a lawyer about it. It's crazy to me they want to pass a gun control law at midnight and expect everyone to comply with very little guidance. It's crazy it's even a law when it's not socially acceptable by the educated which is most of us, and ones that do like the law trust the media and thinks AR stands for assult rifle.

Law passed 8 years ago, where've you been?
Well yeah, doesn't mean I can't bitch about it for 8 years. LOL
Seems like a lot of effort to take a compliant rifle and make it questionable. Closing off gas port, adding pistol grip and collapsible stock and consulting with a lawyer all when moving out of state in a year? To each his own I guess.
IMO you’d be better off keeping the Mini as is and put your money towards ammo and training. When you move to free America add your gizmos.

Yeah well, I'm complicated. Truthfully I just want everything now so I don't have to get it later. (not a collapsible stock, a telescopic stock) but I'm not going to do it if it makes me a criminal. As you said, each to their own. Just hoping someone knew the answer.

One thing to consider with sealing off the gas port, is that there will be no way short of firing the gun, for LEO to know it's a bolt action. At least with a fixed mag you can easily point that out and they can verify on the spot that it's fixed. With sealing off the gas port all LEO's are going to see is a fully featured semi-auto rifle that happens to be illegal. I'm not talking about being at the range and getting approached, I am talking about getting stopped in your vehicle or in some other instance where discharging the rifle to prove it's not semi-auto is not possible.

If you want the features and dont care its single shot buy a bolt gun in the first place.
More accurate and no ambiguity on legality.
Buy your A Team gun later.

Wait whoa, you can get a NY fixed rifle and when traveling to a free state unfix it?
I always thought they were permanently fixed.

Lots of ways to fix (and unfix) a mag as stated any workaround is at own risk.

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the sequence goes when you’re in a Free State = Unfixed when coming back to NY or even in NY = Fixed.
That is a very good point. Obviously I can't prove its a blocked bushing on the fly without either disassembling the gun or firing it. The cop probably won't care enough to wait and see because it'll make him look like a hero if he books someone with a "killing machine". Ah shit man. I think you just talked me out of it and just wait till I move lol. Damn. Thanks man!
