Nonresident hunting in ny with 30 cal ar

[Slaynbux]

Wondering if anyone could tell me if I can legally hunt with my ar in ny I'm from nh . Registration doesn't apply to me. Would I have to make modifications. Have rem 30 ar 4 roung mags no threaded muzzle non adjustable buttstock.

You can legally hunt with that rifle as far as I know. Bringing it into the state is a different story. Good luck with that because those laws are so confusing.

Guess I was lucky last season didn't have any contact with le.

If the rifle meets the "safe" act definition of an AW, you cannot legally posses it in NY. The only way it would be legal is if you possessed it prior to the law taking effect and then registered it prior to the deadline. As a NH resident, I don't believe registration was possible. An option might be to modify it so no longer meets NYs definition of an AW.. then modify it back to original condition when you get back to NH.

Basically the law is designed to get rid of these rifles for good. Current owners were able register. However, they cannot sell, transfer or even pass to the heirs within NYS. There is no way to bring such a rifle.

This is my understanding of the law. It is not legal advice and is worth what you paid for it.

Would The ar mag lock think it's mr2 be a safe option?

[Setters4life]

^ What JRM said. And you are correct, registration does not apply to non-residents. (It isn't offered!)

 

With out-of-state plates and toting that rifle you automatically put yourself in the resonable suspicion category thanks to the SAFE Act.

Why risk it.....

Thanks to all.did some research on those mag locks. ar 15 .com 60 pages worth . Apparently their not being made anymore. Looks like it's fudd gun in ny for me for now.

Welcome to the forum Slaynbux!

And welcome to New Yorkistan. I'm glad you asked about the issue before having your firearm confiscated and becoming another checkmark on the emperor's list.

 

I had to replace a thumbhole stock on my 10/22 benchrest gun because of this silliness.

[Slaynbux]

Thanks. Not unfamiliar with asinine laws,hunt coyotes in Massachusetts with a rock river 223 had to pin stock and mags limited to 10 rounds.at least their clear With that I need to do to be compliant.

[philoshop]

Other than the fact that they're clearly unconstitutional, you won't find anything clear about NYS gun laws.

 

[grampy]

The only thing clear about NYS gun laws, is that they are so disfunctional, even law enforcement doesn't know all the laws. And won't enforce some of the one's they do know.

Perhaps if these laws were not rushed and passed in the middle of the night, by a corrupt bunch of politicians. We might all have a better understanding of the gun laws in NYS.

[Larry]

you can't bring any gun into NYS that the a--holes in Albany declare are assault weapons and a AR is assault weapon by decree. 

[HectorBuckBuster]

Slay, NYS can't even tell you whats legal and not legal to own. The Mag lock is a gamble. NYS Troopers will not give anything in writing about what a legal fix would be on securing a mag to your lower.

[Slaynbux]

For now we are the live free or die state. Hopefully things change for the better there.

ditto. what are you hunting with an AR anyhow? Not trying to derail the thread, I know some do hunt with them, just a little odd to me when there are better models at generally cheaper prices and optics.

Yes, that modification makes it compliant.

There arent many factory semi autos out there that can hang with an AR in the accuracy department. Especially for the same money. you can put any optics on an AR that you want.

yeah not trying to turn it into a debate. Just curious I guess. I can buy a ruger american for ~400 with a economy scope. I can't buy any AR for that that I know of, and the american is meant for hunting.

 

is it "just because"?

You are comparing a bolt action to a semi auto. ARs are "meant for hunting" as much as any other rifle.

[dbHunterNY]

Yes, that modification makes it compliant.

 

I've been curious about this.  technically you have to take apart the gun by opening the upper from the lower, to get the mag out.  I haven't heard anything more than that laymen's reasoning.  no official legal stance has been made for it that I know of.  hear anything different?

[Slaynbux]

To each his own.you did spent half as much, and have half the gun in accuracy, rate of fire ,ergonomics, and diy service ability. Also mult purpose wouldn't want that bolt gun in a self defense situation. All these thing cost more

They havent released anything in writing that the stocks would make it legal either as far as I know. If you have to take the upper and lower apart to remove the magazine, its the same as any other fixed magazine, regardless of how fast you can do it. Im not sure about the bullet button though.

If you compare it to the semi's it isn't that far off on price point. Look at the 7400,  browning or others.  . $750-$1,100. Plus the ability to accessorize and switch calibers is a plus that other autos in that range don't offer.

The stock opting seems much more clear though. no pistol grip or thumbhole. Plus the stores must have gotten something if they are selling them on the shelves without an issue.
