Pretty ingenious. Who would have thought you could make a rifle stock out of plumbing pipe. Looks like someone tried to wash an AR down the sink and it got stuck in the trap.

No thanks. What's the point? Still limited to a ten round magazine.

Yep, they are on the shelves here. They are a tad bit ugly, but surprisingly well balanced. The fact that they circumvent the safe act here in NY is a testament to the passion of our local manufactures and also the lunacy of the law.

They seem to be selling. I guess it's the ol' "any port in a storm-thing"!

Anything to further illustrate the lunacy of these "assault" weapon laws is fine by me.

They must have copy and pasted CA's stupid law cause they've been around here for sometime now. We call them featureless, only prominent if you don't have a "registered assault weapons" and don't want a bullet button.

Outfitting your AR with one of those stocks might be a better alternative than standing in line to register your "AW".

I can't think of what I could say about that rifle and the New York situation that wouldn't earn me an infraction.

Hey, let's keep an open mind here. Remember, stabbings didn't disappear overnight when they banned switchblades. It took a few months.
