Woe to us New Yorkers

[VMaxSplat]

I hope this isn't too much of a rant, so I'll try to put a question in here...

My beloved 15-22 is New Jerk compliant, or so I thought. So now my dilemma is how to legalize it without having to register it.

As most of you may know, only 1 evil feature is enough to criminalize a semi with a detatchable magazine. Since my "NY compliant" semi has only a 10 rounder, I can squeak by that reg as long as I am sure to never load more than 7 rounds in the mag. I can figure that one out no problem.

The dilemma is that pesky pistol grip - that's the evil feature.

The pistol grip on my AK is removable, so that one was just made legal. It still handles well, so I can live with that. It was a post-ban rifle, so it complies in all other respects.

I tried to remove the pistol grip from my 15-22, and found that it secures some springs for the safety. So, that's a problem. What I need is a "cap" or something to cover the spot where the pistol grip goes.

I wonder if S&W will come up with a "part" to accomplish that task, and thus make my 14-22 NY compliant again??

Any words of wisdom?

I'd say that you have two real options.

Opt A: Move to a free state. Take you talents and tax dollars and get the heck out of commie land.

Opt B: Forget their unconstitutional BS, leave your rifle "as is", and take your chances. Basically, they passed one infringement on your 2nd Amendment rights, you generously complied, then they changed the rules. At this point...screw em.

I'd recommend Opt A since it is available.

This is an example of how it is done in CA. "Featureless" it is called. There are several options, this is just 1 example.

FRS-15 STOCK

It really irks me when people throw this out like it is a real viable option. Option? Yes. Viable? No. It's really not for most: jobs, kids, house, business, family, history, endless other local obligations - it is not that easy to pick up and leave and people throw this out like it is something you can just up and do like no big deal.

I love guns, love them.. but I cannot see moving out of a state, the massive cost involved of doing so, the radical change in life and burdens it brings just to make a point that will fall on deaf ears. Guns and the right to own them and shoot them is very important to me, but my quality of life is more important and I would not likely pick up and up root my whole life for it. Instead, I would learn how to play just inside the laws in my state and get on with life. I should know, I have been a shooter in CA for 20 years and it is an inconvenience, but there are legal ways around most of the BS.

Has anyone used this FS stock? It seems as though it gives it more of a shotgun grip. Pros/cons?

Side note-what kind of gun is that? I like the foregrip/shroud combo.

First, it is for AR15's, I showed it to make a point.

And no, no one has as it is not out just yet. It is brand new. But the guy that makes it, here in CA, is awesome and has developed several AR15 products that play within our CA laws. For example, his "ultimate bullet button tool" that attaches to your Ar15 mag and allows you to drop the mag using a "tool" attached to your magazine to meet the CA law. Almost as fast as using your finger to drop a mag BUT uses a loophole to get around the current law.

If you search on "featureless" rifle, you will see other options like the ugly "hammerhead". All for the AR15 really, but this one is the best and most refined design. Again, making the point of what "could" be done.

Guess we're just different. I could see me dumping a state like NY or CA in a heartbeat because of their left wing politics. To each his own though.

Fair enough...

but I bet when push comes to shove, most won't. Hell, most can barely afford to get by day to day given the cost of living - imagine the costs and headaches of moving just to make a point. I would rather be able to run on the beach today in the middle of winter in a t-shirt, do a trail race in the local mountains tomorrow, AND be able to shoot at the range tomorrow night and I can do all of that right here in CA. The grass is not always greener on the other side and once you make that move, it is not like you get to shoot and work with guns 24/7 - real life kicks in and you find guns - for most people - consume a small part of their lives and now you have moved and..... now what? Great, you made a point, but to whom and at what cost? I would rather spend the time and energy to learn my laws, play in them, and try to get my laws changed as I love where I live.. even with the **** gun laws.

Well firstly, I know it's for an AR, I can see that. I said shotgun-TYPE grip. Just trying to describe it. And I agree, there's many different types, but ugly is in perspective. I'd rather have something "ugly" and able to shoot than not at all.

The Solar Tactical Grip Wrap doesn't look too bad. IMO

The Monsterman Grip seems like not a bad choice either.

And while the Hammerhead would be my last choice, still better than nothing

 

[BHarada]

Is it comfortable to shoot any of those featureless grips with no place to wrap your thumb around?

I like the look of the FRS since it's like a skeletonized monte carlo stock.

 

[Dikinalaska]

Couldn't say comfort-wise, but it would seem as though an ambi-safety or swapping the safety would be helpful.

No one said there taking our sporting rifles in NY. They want you to register them. You can still use them in every way you have done before.

The problem is with registration and nothing else.

Sounds like a BIG problem.

Then buy a 10/22 or if you live in NY sell it out side the state. All owners of sporting rifles and hand guns will have to register there weapons and re do it every 5 years. No way around it unless they amend the current bill.

 

[batmann]

How does moving sound. Politicans are making sure they can further their agenda regardless. The more you 'comply', the more they have for you to comply with.

But if you jumped through all the loopholes to make it not fall under their list, would you still have to register them?

Handguns you have too, sporting rifles no.

Move to Texas.

Problem solved, problem staying solved.

 

[Kai Winters]

And you can no longer buy a firearm considered to be an "assault weapon" meaning a dramatic reduction in firearms we are able to buy.

I don't know anything about New York or New Jersey.
I shoot in the Mountains of Colorado. It's wide open.

My advice would be to make it N.Y. compliant when transporting. Find some place where there are no people. Install the parts & have fun.
or,
Register, wait a couple of years & loose you 15/22.
Not many good options. I feel bad for you.

id hold off until the dust settles and the law is formally passed and approved.i kind of had a feeling that new york would be one of the first states to jump on the antigun bandwagon since we all know cuomo has aspirations to become the next president.otherwise the link provided in this thread showing the kit for a normal style rifle stock MIGHT make your 15-22 state compliant,only time will tell though.as stated above be very careful with what others are telling you to do,dont get into trouble because of bad internet advice.

It hit the newspaper on Monday evening and was passed by Tuesday afternoon. The horse is already out of the barn and long gone. By Wednesday you needed a nics check to buy .22 RF ammo.
