I need some help if you can. I am planning my own AR platform build but being NYS it makes it more difficult making it compliant. Any help from NYS FFL guys/girls or anyone else as to what is required to make it compliant.

I am planning a standard lower, 18" upper, flash suppressor (not suppresor for silence), Quad rail for optics, flat top for the upper, Daniel defense rear site, ghost ring, standard post for front site, and a collapsing stock. Thanks for input.

    Per NY State's ridiculous law, this defines "Assault Weapons":

    Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and two or more of the following:

    Folding or telescoping stock
    Pistol grip
    Bayonet mount
    Flash suppressor, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one
    Grenade launcher (more precisely, a muzzle device which enables the launching or firing of rifle grenades)

    Semi-automatic pistols with detachable magazines and two or more of the following:

    Magazine that attaches outside the pistol grip
    Threaded barrel to attach barrel extender, flash suppressor, handgrip, or suppressor
    Barrel shroud that can be used as a hand-hold
    Unloaded weight of 50 oz (1.4 kg) or more
    A semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm

    Semi-automatic shotguns with two or more of the following:

    Folding or telescoping stock
    Pistol grip
    Fixed capacity of more than 5 rounds
    Detachable magazine

    Well, scratch another state off my list of places to live. Not that that state was on it to begin with anyway.[xx(]

    Thanks for the info, I was reading the law but became stir crazy. NYS blows, I mean the standard lower complete has a pistol grip so thats strike one, then a collapsing stock strike two. Totally nuts, they make it so damn difficult, I heard Chuck Shumer wants to charge a yearly fee of $500.00 to anyone that has a CC pistol permit.

    This state does blow, I was born here, raised my family but sure is hell ready to leave when I can retire, taxes high, gas high, political corruption high, gun rights extremely difficult. No real reason to visit here or move here. If like snow its better to visit Vermont or western states.

    You read that wrong MFI. If it has two of the above it is classified as a banned assault weapon...meaning it can only have one more than a detatchable magazine. And it does say detatchable magazine, and nothing about being 10 rounds or not. If the collapsable stock and muzzle break are pinned on, in place by a blind pin, then they are OK as well. They can't be movable, or removable to expose threads, in the case of the muzzle break.

    Also hi-capacity magazines in NY are grandfathered the same way as firearms. If you can get mags that are known to have been produced prior to the AWB (I got mags that were no longer in production by the time of the AWB to be sure), you are good to go in that regard, also. Joe
