Illegal which sucks because it limits what we can buy.

Google NYS PL265 for some of our gun laws.

To comply with those laws you will need to somewhat disable the threads. Ie: solder, weld, pin, etc.
Which then you loose the ability to remove the barrel from the firearm. It's easier to just buy a non threaded barrel at that point.

Not on a bolt gun it's not.

Stupid question, but what type of gun (semi, bolt action, pump action, Etc.) is it you want a threaded barrel for?
ArmedCorgi

I was wondering about that. So bolt guns or non semi-auto guns can have threaded barrels?

My MVP has one.
This is one of the main reasons people build fixed mags and straight pull bolt AR's.
The law talks about a semi-automatic action with the ability to take/use a detachable magazine.

Not stupid at all, it's a crucial detail. Threaded barrels are only illegal when on a semi-auto, detachable mag fed rifle or pistol.
Assuming an AR because the OP has a Black Rain logo as a profile pic, you can grind the threads off, have it cut and crowned or "permanently" affix a thread protector. The last solution has all kinds of debate around it because there hasn't been any sort of court ruling on it. The idea is that by putting a thread protector on, you nullify the design intent of the threaded barrel (see wording below).
NYS Penal Law Section 265.00 Paragraph 22 (a) (vi):
(vi) a flash suppressor, muzzle break, muzzle compensator, or threaded
barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor, muzzle break, or
muzzle compensator;
My bad, I need more coffee. I was thinking about handguns for some reason. Damn NYS education!

So the key qualifier is the action? Or is it the action plus the ability to accept a detachable magazine?
Semi-auto = illegal to have threads or
Semi-auto + detachable mag = illegal to have threads?
What about a bolt gun that can accept a detachable magazine?
Semi-auto = illegal to have threads or
Semi-auto + detachable mag = illegal to have threads?

Thank you for the insight and yes its for an AR but its safe to say i will just stay away from threaded barrels to be safe.

The latter, Corgi. That is why you will see people with full features but fixed mags.
My MVP takes SR25 mags, pmags, and generally any standard .308 mag. Bolt action.
Has a removable flash suppressor. I can put whatever I want up front. Except, of course, a can- which is what I want most of all.

Semi-auto + detachable mag = illegal to have threads
Bolt guns are ok. Semi-auto with detachable mag is specifically called out but they exempted bolt, pump, lever and slide actions as well with this paragraph:
(g) provided, however, that such term does not include:
(i) any rifle, shotgun or pistol that (A) is manually operated by
bolt, pump, lever or slide action; (B) has been rendered permanently
inoperable; or (C) is an antique firearm as defined in 18 U.S.C.
921(a)(16);

Should've also mentioned the Troy pump action AR's, my bad.

This might be a dumb question but what if the gun is registered does that make any difference on what the gun is aloud to have on it?
BDinPutnam

Registered to who?
Unless you are LEO you cannot buy someone else's registered AW. You cannot register a new AW either, that ship has sailed.

If it is registered as an AW it cannot get anymore assaultier if you put more evil features on it. The law does not stop you from making a more evil AW if it was registered as an AW at the time the NY SAFE atrocity declared it had to be.

I'm not as familiar with the registration section (because fuck registration) but it looks like there is provision to register an "assault weapon" if it has been recently transferred to the state. Depending on the circumstances and interpretation of "transfer into state," you might be able to legally register an assault weapon? With the blatant bias of NY courts (especially those near the city) I'd consider that pretty close to playing russian roulette with 4 cylinders loaded.

Hello everyone
I'm new to this forum and to using forums in general. So I apologize if this is not proper edicate but I figured this question was similar enough to the original question. I'm planning on buying a ak-47 barreled reciver. Just the standard barrel and us made reciver. If I complicated the kit and didn't modify it at all it would be considered an assault rifle under nys law. But because I'm buying it as a reciver and barrel not completed gun with plans to weld a block in the gas tube rendering the rifle a bolt action would the way i go about this be legal. I've done some research the past few days and talked to my ffl which said after some confusion that as long as it didn't have a threaded barrel would be legal. Just wondering if someone would know more about this.

@Brokeit A lot of barreled receivers do not come drilled at the gas port, so I would check with the manufacturer or distributer to see if the one you are ordering does. Next is to find an FFL who will transfer the barreled AK receiver, some do not. Sounds like yours is the type that will not, find another one.
A bolt action AK can have all the evil features that a rifle in a free state does. Good luck and have fun.

So as I understand the law , this pistol would be legal, as long as it only held 7 rounds. ..
Lots of newbies in this thread. Welcome and here is the link

That is a bolt action pistol, assault weapon rules do not apply. 10 rounds is fine in most of NY some jurisdictions require no more than 5.

Everything is legal till you get busted for it. Welcome to the forum "fishingbobber".

If it’s an AR then you can’t have any features. No pistol grip, no threaded barrel, no adjustable stock, not extended front grip. Check out the safe act.

Unless you lock the mag, then everything else is back on the table.
