M1 Carbine

[Jcp123]

I’m interested in building what would basically be a C&R collection.

I’m not in NY, but will be soon. Basically everything I’m interested in is essentially ignored by SAFE act. But I’m interested in edge cases and how far it stretches. If I had an M1 Carbine, say it was a CMP surplus, how does that interact with mag capacity laws? I’ve seen wildly different opinions on a trek through the internet.

As long as it doesn’t have a folding stock or bayonet lug it’s fine.

So there’s no C&R workaround for mags? I read somewhere there was, but I am dubious to say the least.

Holy shit, haven't seen a post by you in a long while. Hope you are well!

No workaround other than the magazine has to be registered. And there are stipulations to that. If that curio and relic magazine can be used in a modern copy, than it’s a no go.

23. “Large capacity ammunition feeding device” means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device, that..

provided, however, that such term does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition or a feeding device that is a curio or relic.  A feeding device that is a curio or relic is defined as a device that (i) was manufactured at least fifty years prior to the current date, (ii) is only capable of being used exclusively in a firearm, rifle, or shotgun that was manufactured at least fifty years prior to the current date, but not including replicas thereof.
