magnumhunt Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hey guys maybe someone can give me some input. I was about to purchase a browning bar boss and was told its illegal to own in NY. This shop that owns it is in fact in NY,hes selling it on the internet. Apparently the muzzle is what makes it illegal and its semi auto? Any help truely appreciated.

LIAF Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I do not post a lot but I own a rem 742 and almost put a muzzle brake on it. After I read the new law that was enacted in 2013 I was glad that I did not put a muzzle brake on it as I believe the way the law was written I would have had to register my gun. Since both the Rem 742 and Browning BAR are both semi- auto's with a detachable magazine then I would say that trying to buy either with a muzzle brake would be illegal at this point in time. The law is very convoluted (phuckedup)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 The language in the law does not specify muzzlebreaks. It lists suppressors or threaded so that it can accept a suppressor. If the muzzlebreak is detachable thus allowing you to remove the muzzlebreak and replace it with a suppressor afterwards, is semi-auto, and accepts detachable magazines, then it's an "assault weapon". If the muzzlebreak is built in and can't be detached to accept a suppressor, then it should not be considered an "assault weapon". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACHINIST Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Because the law is written like a pissed off 3 year old did it with a crayon and its a gun shop in NY I would get the gun if you want it.I know 3 different guys that own a BAR with a boss system on it and one was just purchased recently.I wouldn't give it another single thought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle rider Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 The boss is a muzzle break and because you can't get more than a 5 round mag in it, I'd suspect you are fine. Buy the rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) This is a perfect example of how this sham of a law was meant to target honest gun owners. The law refers to flash suppressors not muzzle breaks. But could one of the kings goons say that the break is a flash suppressor and charge a person with a felony? Or say that it is in fact a muzzle break, but that the barrel is threaded? Edited September 17, 2015 by ants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
