Nomad Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 So I have a relative that built an AR pistol it’s featureless btw , and its listed on their permit , but I got to wondering it’s legality. So today at a gun shop that only sells pistols , ARs, AR pistols ,combat shotguns etc and it’s staff is largely retired Leo’s , I asked about it . They said it’s ok but mag needs to be pinned . Then I called the NYSP gun hotline thing and they said it’s illegal and a felony, they said the county messed up by putting it on the permit , and pinning the mag doesn’t matter as the law says capable to except a detached mag , and before pinning it was capable ! wtf i said I have half a dozen pistols that except detachable mags, they’re all featureless how is his any different ? Pause …we’ll that’s an assault pistol . How ? It just is … Next up the deputy nextdoor , a real gun guy too . He asked any features? Nope . Arm brace ? Yep. Pistol length barrel ? Yep. On his permit ? Yep. Then he’s fine ,this county considers that a pistol . ha ha ha . Way to go NYS ! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsdale Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) I’m not a handgun guy, right up front, no expert….. But I’d guess off the top of my head it exceeds the weight for a semi automatic. 50oz unloaded. You cant own a 50 Desert Eagle and although it looks like any other semi auto, it weighs too much. Be interested to hear others thoughts? Edited October 26, 2022 by Dinsdale 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modified the mag release locking the mag in and you could top load it into the magazine with the slide locked back. Sold it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hueyjazz Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Ever bother to take a read of the Safe Act? It has to be one of the poorest written documents ever. It is loaded with ambiguity and can be vague. For instance, what's your definition of ammo feeding device? Does a stripper clip qualify or is this only intended to apply to a magazine? Where does a Garand clip fit in, and show be how to load only five. Keep in mind that the Safe Act was largely a cut and paste of other States' laws that was edited into a document by people unfamiliar with firearms. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they can twist it around for their purpose, especially when they need an ERPO. See the video on you tube today about NYS from Copper Jacket.Before July 1st average 45 ERPO"S per monthAfter July 1st, average over 400 ERPO'S per month.They are trying everything they can to remove guns from everyone they can.https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2022/10/24/hochul-touts-red-flag-gun-seizures-as-polls-show-crime-top-concern-for-new-yorkers-n63573Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was done on purpose so in a court of law the government can convict you easily because they can afford a better lawyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suburbanfarmer Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I understand most users have left this forum, but seems ATF just changed directions and now all braces or even ar15 pistols are outlawed by May 2023 Maybe @Nomad will chime back in and advise who or what it impacts..
