NYC legal rifles/shotguns

[Mikeybk]

Just got my rifle/shotgun permit and I’m unpleasantly surprised by the limitations box what I can legally own in nyc.
does anybody know if I can legally own a Ruger mini 14 , ranch rifle.
Also does anybody know if the Beretta 1201fp shotgun is nyc legal?

any info would be helpful.

Post the restrictions so we can see them, most here are not familiar with The Rotten Apple's nuance of the second amendment.

NYC has a different set of rules when it comes to owning firearms in NYC.

One is, NYC has a capacity limit of 5 rounds with ANY rifle or shotgun.
In order to own a rifle or shotgun in NYC you'll need to posses a rifle/ shotgun permit.
All NYC firearms (rifles, shotguns & handguns(separate permit)) must be registered with NYPD.
AR's & AK's are banned in NYC.

Because the Beretta 1201fp has a capacity of 6 rds. It's a NO.

If you're considering the Mini14 rifle with a muzzle brake (threaded barrel) it would also be No.

 

[Mikeybk]

Thanks for the info.
I can’t seem to find a simple list of legal vs. illegal specs other than the assault rifle ban and max 5 rounds. No carbines or PCC’s I guess.
Is 5+1 for a shot gun considered 6 rounds?
Could I get a mini 14 without a muzzle break and a 5 round clip to make it nyc legal.

Frustrating to wait a year and a half to get my permit to realize that I can only own a bolt action rifle in nyc but could drive 15 miles to long island and own an AR.

 

[Mk44]

No, NYC capacity limit is 5 rounds in the tube or magazine. (5 + 1 in the chamber is fine.)
But the Beretta 1201fp can hold up to SIX 2.75" shells in the tube.

NYC's issue is the threaded barrel. A Mini14 without the threaded barrel/ muzzle brake may pass, unless NYC changed *hit again.?

 

[Mikeybk]

So any rifle with a magazine with max 5 rounds in NYC
N.Y.S. law is 7 rounds max in a 10 round magazine? Suppose the state trusts it’s citizens more than the big apple does?

 

[Mk44]

Yes, rifle magazine max at 5 rounds in NYC. (You can't have a 10 round rifle magazine and only load it with 5rds in NYC. )

Like I said NYC ( 5 boroughs ) has their own set of stupid rules.

Frustrating to wait a year and a half to get my permit

My God.

 

[Mikeybk]

And if you didn’t know, slingshots and bb guns also illegal in NYC.

 

[Mk44]

Yep. And you can't posses a 4" or longer knife in public or any so-called “gravity knives” in NYC.

 

[technicalgadget]

I'm pretty sure the Ranch model Mini 14 with the 5 round magazine specifically is the only model Mini 14 that is approved for permit use in NYC. 5 round magazine, unthreaded barrel, no muzzle device, single piece stock. If I understood it correctly over the years, the Mini 14 must have the model "Ranch" designation in order for it to be accepted on your rifle permit.

 

[Mikeybk]

Got it. Ranch model mini 14 here I come.

Mak44, and yes I got stopped by an unmarked cop car for my bench made knife. Didn’t matter to the cops that I’m a carpenter and use my knife for work. Lucky you get off with a warning for that one.

 

[byron]

Yep. And you can't posses a 4" or longer knife in public or any so-called “gravity knives” in NYC.

Gravity knives are legal in New York due to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signing a bill in late May repealing the state's gravity knife ban, but the win comes with several label warnings. For instance, gravity knives—or any knife, for that matter—with blades 4 inches or longer remain illegal in New York City.A

I am a hunter. Will the SAFE Act affect which firearms I may use to hunt?​

A: Generally, no. Other than limiting the magazine capacity to ten rounds, the SAFE Act places no additional burdens on hunters.

TASERs (not stun guns) are also legal in NYC as of 2019. The ruling rolling back this law is not being challenged and could change at any time. You may or may not have an issue getting your product shipped to NYC.

If you can find one a Fightlite SCR is also GTG in NYC as it comes from the factory with a 5rd mag. I own both, there are a few threads on here about the SCR you could checkout.

lol. Yeah right? Except for those of us who use our ARs for hunting

 

[Mikeybk]

I saw a fight lite for sale at a Ling island gun store. How does your fightlite SCR shoot?

Any thoughts on moving out of that black hole of fuckery?

 

[Mikeybk]

Yep I think about moving out often. Unfortunately all the rich city slickers messed up the upstate housing market so I can’t afford to move.

 

[ronstar]

Longguns in NYC can hold 5+1 round.

5 rounds in clip/tube, one in chamber.

It took me about 3 months. But I have a clean arrest record. I owned two semi-auto guns, one rifle and one shotgun. Who told you this nonsense about bolt actions?

Yes, you can own a Mini-14 Ranch Rifle. And the Ares SCR (or whatever its called).

 

[Mikeybk]

I’m assuming I could also own a mini 30 if I wanted a larger caliber?

As long as it has none of the prohibited features, yes.

 

[Mikeybk]

Where exactly can I find this mysterious list of prohibited features other than 5 round max.

 

[Mikeybk]

Which is a better rifle the mini-14 or mini-30. I Haven’t shot either But I’ve heard that the 30 misfires a lot

 

[nortatoga]

I saw a fight lite for sale at a Ling island gun store. How does your fightlite SCR shoot?

It shoot's like an AR and can have many of the same upgrades.

Basic model...



Upgraded Model...

Never heard such a thing.

At this point it might just be easier to get a weapon that is legal in the rest of the state and if you get arrested challenge it in court all the way to SCOTUS if you have to. Odds are they would not want to actually test their insane anti constitutional laws in a real case.
