The transfer hasn't taken place yet. This is just to make sure I have my ducks in a row beforehand.
I understand the issues with transferring the lower as 'other'. But even though it will be transferred as a pistol, it is not yet technically a pistol. That's where my confusion is. If it is not a pistol yet then I shouldn't need it on my permit to have it in my possession. Provided I already passed a bg check during the transfer.
Maybe I'm way off and sorry if I'm making this more confusing then it needs to be...
The lower of an AR is a firearm in the eyes of the law. So when you get it transferred to you as a pistol then it IS a pistol at that point and will have to be added to you permit the same way a normal pistol is.

You are.
It is NOT an other (if you want it on your permit......this is only cause you are in ny. No where else is like this), IT IS A PISTOL and needs to be transfered as such (in NY)
If it is a pistol it needs to be transfered as such. Just pretend it is a 1911 and do it exactly the same way.

It's a pain in the balls to upload a video from your phone on here. I'm sticking it on YouTube and then I'll add a link.

Hopefully this works.
That is awsome. May be a project someday with a glock 9mm lower....I have been debating either a 14.5 with flash hider or making it a pistol.

Update #2.
Of course I couldn't just stop with the setup I had. New rail and a New Frontier side charge upper. Along with a different muzzle device. This is the gun I really imagined when I started this build.
I'm done for. A few weeks ago I got my hands on another lower and stuck it on my permit. These things are a serious addiction, I swear.

Sorry for dragging this one up from the bottom but I’m doing a bit of research on a pistol caliber AR pistol and came across this thread.
I’m aware that nothing is 100% verified and we don’t have a concrete ruling to point to but from what I have read the type of system which you’re running on this pistol (mag release becomes operable once lower & upper are separated) is more than likely not “SAFE Act Approved” in comparison to the epoxied Maglock/bullet button system which seems more widely used. Can you comment on that?
ETA: Nice pistol, BTW.

There is no such thing as a "safe act approved" mag lock. Use what you feel comfortable with. I know of other devices, including the armr2 which drop mag when upper is opened, that have been confiscated. But go figure, these cases don't make it to court, and they don't for a reason. If you have the time and money to fight it, nys has a pretty week case as there is nothing in law to define what a fixed magazine is.

Just read through this thread as I am doing a 12" 6.5 Grendel build.
The direction I got from Orange county was to list the lower on my amendment form as a frame only. Then I had to provide a receipt for the barrel listing the barrel length and caliber.
I'll let you know how it turns out. It's only been a week since I sent my paperwork in. As long as I get it in time for deer season...

So, I followed the direction from Orange County. I sent in the receipt from the FFL where he transferred it to me as an "other". Sent a receipt for the barrel showing length and caliber. Filled out the amendment form and mailed it all in as I would any other. I received my amended permit today.

This is what I ended up with. Hopefully will be able to post some pics in the hunting thread this November. Currently with a 1-6 Strike Eagle but I'm probably going to end up changing it. I have a 2-8 on hand and a 2.5-10 incoming.

I’ve been dreaming up a pistol build but had a pretty negative conversation with Wolcott guns about putting a lower on my permit. They would not transfer a lower as a pistol and told me it’s extremely unlikely the PP office would place it on my permit. @Jem45472 i saw you are in Erie and did a build. Any advice on which FFL would be willing to handle the transfer and how did you handle the PP office.
Pm sent
Need the right FFL to do the transfer, then he'll give you a receipt with make,model,caliber, serial number. As long as you have the receipt, no problem at permit office. Don't get cute with the office trying to tell them what it is your doing. They won't ask questions as long as all information is correct on receipt.

I figured as long as all the basics were covered there wouldn’t be any issues.
So by the end of this week I will have everything but my bolt and barrel for my 12.5" .450 bushmaster pistol that im hoping to use for deer season..
Here it is up next to my K31 and Saiga with the brace fully extended (the handguards are 12" but actually measure 12.5 so would be flush with the barrel but I'm adding an A2 style bird cage) View attachment 53056
And here it is fully collapsed

***edit*** I found that the brace is most comfortable on my arm in the middle spot
***editx2*** I have my flip up irons on my 16" upper for now
