Does anyone happen to know if the Archangel M1A stock in legal in the PDRNY?
It looks like the stock has what would be considered a pistol grip.

That is not a pistol grip.

The shits definitely hit. It just hasn't blown through the fan yet.
I just installed it a little while ago. I'll post up pictures in the morning, saved me the hassle of returning it. I really hope I don't have legality issues with it.

I don't think Boyd's will sell you anything for a semi automatic. They wouldn't ship AR handguards.
They sold me a non adjustable stock for the same 10/22.

When it came time to get a stock for my Howa mini action I remembered them. Went with B&C.
As long as you don’t have any other features you will be good. I have a LRB M25 in a JAE 100 G3 stock, which is similar to what you are putting on yours.

The 20 round magazine in it isn't.
That's not mine, just a generic picture.
Nor is the muzzle device (if rifle is semiautomatic with detachable mag).
I get that it's a generic pic.
Here she is. It was a perfect fit, I didn't need to file or grind away any sections.

Looks good!
I think I may want to lock the mag in place so I can thread the barrel and get a VLTOR stock since these are easily loadable via stripper clips.

Question? Why would you want to fix the mag for a threaded barrel? You will be reducing a vital function to be able to have a non-vital function.
Not just a threaded barrel but to have a VLTOR stock which has a pistol grip and telescoping stock.

Non vital functions. That was my point. Ultimately the choice is yours of course if you value that over overall functionality.
Not knocking you or anything. Just putting it out there in case you didn’t consider it. You lose combat reloading for topping off, malfunction fixes that require a simple removal of the magazine to get back into working order... Things like that.
Most people don’t consider that. They focus on other things instead.
I thought about that, I mean I can always revert back. The magazine lock I was looking at isn't permanent. You just need to remove the trigger group in order to remove the magazine.

When I first got my Scout I wanted to do the same. My plan was to remove the mag release paddle and epoxy the mag in place in a GI fiberglass stock. My reloads would have been with clips in the stripper clip guide. My barreled action arrived at my FFL and they would not release it to me with a threaded barrel. I explained my plans and I was told they asked the SP about the same set up I was planning. The reply was they would make the arrest and let the courts figure it out. As much BS as it is ..... I ended up with a faux FH in place from LRB. It's quicker to exchange mags than use the stripper clip guide anyways.

BTW a Socom can gain some much needed accuracy by closing the gap between the muzzle and it's SAI brake. This is accomplished by removing material off the gas lock until they contact each other.
1.5 MOA @ 100 yrds is achievable with this mod. Sometimes more with other mods added as well.

Sounds like your FFL is a douche nozzle. Similar in fashion to removing your mag release on an AR, removing the mag release paddle should be acceptable.

This is one GS of a few near me. I will clarify this a little more. Epoxying a mag into a fiberglass stock was the issue. The response from the SP was the reason for the GS action. A law suit would put them out of business. I cannot fault him for his decision. I have known this fellow for years on a first name basis. He has always been very good to me.

A lawsuit from whom? The state police cannot sue anyone. They can arrest but it would be thrown out of court if a magazine was epoxied to a stock.
I understand he’s your friend but...
Not for nothing not your license and not your livelihood... Oh I get it don't get me wrong. NY provides absolutely no guidance what is GTG or not. While I don't agree with it, I certainly can understand it. Problem is in Albany not your local FFL... FUAC

I assumed from the state?
Doesn't make a difference though. A dremel to cut the sight base off and thru the set screw and I can put the original FH on. The set screw for the castle nut is TIGed in place. I just need to pick up another set screw.

I hear ya. I know he's just trying to watch his back.
Years ago he had a partner and ended up with a run in with the ATF. He came out clean as his partner did not.
He was shut down for awhile while my SR was on lay away. Everything took a couple years to settle out. he was happy to present my rifle to me when he got it back and gave me a healthy discount for the delay. One of the reasons why I hold a decent amount of respect for him among others.
I don't even understand the need to epoxy the magazine into the gun. Installing a modified mag release which prevents the magazine from being removed unless you remove the trigger group should be more than suffice.
You remove the trigger group, it is no longer a functioning rifle let alone a firearm.
It's the same thing as installing an AR mag lock on an AR. I have never heard of anyone epoxying their magazine after installing a mag lock so why would you need to do the same for the M1A?
