Find a different ffl. MN has the same law and no one listens to it the threads are for flash suppressors and comps.
Either that or put a dab of solder on it. Then it wont come off

Gonzo,
Thanks for the confirmation. Unfortunately I was almost sure the FFL was correct but thought I'd double check. As far as just dabbing some solder on it, my friend is LEO so it just isn't worth the potential for getting caught with a gun that does not comply with NY law. |

They can be soldered on too. If it was me since the barrel is so easy to remove I'd just sell him the barrelless gun through an FFL and ship him the barrel separately yourself. Let your friend figure out how he wants to "permanently" attach the thread protector or a brake. Silver solder is nice because it just takes a torch to fix if he ever moves to a freer state. |

The AWB expired. We don't have a law prohibiting that. Edited to address original question - Yes, in NYS threaded barrels on guns that were made after September 1994 are illegal if the gun is in an "assault weapon"...i.e. if it accepts a detachable magazine it can only have I think 1 "evil feature", if I remember right...be it a flash hider, a pistol grip, a collapsing/folding buttstock, bayonet mount, threaded barrel, or grenade launcher. Any more than 1, and it's prohibited by the AWB law. (so you can have a pistol grip and a permanently affixed compensator...but not a flash hider.) |

Silver solder is used to meet federal restrictions, NY isn't worse than that. Not to mention gun manufactures use it and sell guns in NY. Regular solder won't be legal but silver solder is. |

Thanks again guys!
I don't think the idea of soldering it is going to be worth it. Being semi auto, having the ability to accept high capacity magazines, and the threaded barrel, just makes it more trouble to either of us than it's worth. Darn shame about the laws they have up there. When I tell him stories about purchases and what's legal here in Va. the poor guy has a hard time grasping how nice it is to have more freedom and choices about new toys. |

AFAIK the NY state ban is a clone of the now-expired federal ban.
If that's the case, threaded muzzle is just one of the potential "evil features", of which you are (only) allowed one of on a rifle that has a detachable magazine. As long as you have a standard type stock on the 10/22 and not something with a pistol grip or adjustable/telescoping feature, then it should be legal with the threaded muzzle. Could not add a flash suppressor to the threads as that would be an additional evil feature. Folks are generally thinking of an AR type rifle which has a pistol grip which is the one allowable "evil feature", so then threaded muzzle is not allowed. |

Cross posted to the NY forum....interesting question...and Gamma may be right on this one
As long as its in standard stock rifle configuration, aren't we technically allowed one additional evil feature - besides the detachable magazine? Sure, you're going to have the threaded barrel... but that is only one additional evil feature to the semi auto/detachable mag definition....screw a compensator on it. Are we saying that's not legal with a basic stock 10/22? If its not legal...why are postban AK's allowed in? One, being semi auto....two, having a detachable mag...and three - a pistol grip. Its possible because the barrel isn't threaded. From our own (NY) FAQs: Q: What is a “semiautomatic assault weapon” (SAW)? A: A SAW is a rifle, shotgun, or pistol manufactured after September 14, 1994 with certain “evil” features. See below for more information regarding the state law as it pertains to rifles, shotguns and pistols. Rifles To qualify as a SAW, a rifle must be semiautomatic (otherwise known as auto-loading) and must be able to accept a detachable magazine. A post-ban rifle that qualifies as a SAW must not have more than one “evil” feature. These “evil” features are as follows: A pistol grip A flash hider or a threaded barrel that can readily accept a flash hider or suppressor A folding or telescoping stock A bayonet lug A grenade launcher |

Correct, it is not legal, because of A flash hider or a threaded barrel that can readily accept a flash hider or suppressor If the thread is in left-handed 138/24-5/8ths Diagonals, then yes, it can be threaded provided there's no sound supressor or flash hider made for that thread pitch...this was why Romanian SAR-2's with the original Romanian front sight block could stay threaded and not have their brakes tack-welded on; the only thing that was ever made in it's thread pattern was the original Romanian AK74 brake for it, thus it was ok to leave threaded without something permanently affixed to it. Had someone made a flash hider in that unique thread, it would have basically ruined it for those of us who actually had one in NY. Almost every other standard thread out there has a flash hider made in it though...if the only thing ever made for that thread was a compensator then it wouldn't be a problem. |

OP, some of the responses have pointed out that our dippy AWB law may not actually ban all rifles with threaded muzzles, but rather only such rifles that have both threaded muzzles and some other evil feature. A detachable box magazine as with the 10/22 may count, but the precise math escapes me.
Oddly, I don't think the law distinguishes between typical rifles and .22's, which is something that occasionally trips up people who want to buy high-cap 10/22 magazines. |

New York's weapon laws are very complex. Don't guess, ask in the hometown forum.
The high-capacity magazine ban is separate from the AWB. So although one of those pictures has a huge magazine, they both actually have detachable box magazines. One of those mags is probably illegal in NY if it wasn't manufactured before 1994; the other is probably legal. But the rifles themselves fall under a completely different set of rules. The pistol grip on the first rifle, added to the magazine, probably makes it an assault weapon. The threaded muzzle on the second rifle, added to the magazine, probably makes it an assault weapon. Both may be exempt if the receiver was manufactured before 1994. My guess is that your friend can't buy your rifle unless you weld a brake in the correct manner. Possibly not even then. ETA: I'm thinking of California, which counts the detachable magazine as one of the special things. NY actually doesn't, so it would take more work to figure out whether they're okay or not. I live here, I own numerous ban-compliant magazines, and even I don't remember all the nuances. |

With all this I was assuming the rifle had a pistol grip...if it had a pistol grip then the comp would have to be welded on. If it didn't have a pistol grip of any kind, then the threaded barrel would be fine, as it is one evil feature... However, if it had a flash hider threaded on it, that flash hider would then need to be pinned/welded on or silver soldered on as the flash hider would be the one evil feature vs the threaded barrel; it would take the place of that threaded barrel. I know, clear as mud

Yes, JB - correct...ignore the extended mag (pre or post)...just the fact that either rifle can accept a detachable mag and the rifles are semi - make them "assault weapons" by definition.
Beyond that is what becomes the question...we "should" be allowed one additional part...pick one, only one: 1)flash hider 2)threaded barrel (but only if you're putting a comp on it) 3)pistol grip 4)telescoping stock 5)bayonet lug I think we're being given the "grey area" runaround. **Thanks again Evil...I think we're all on the same page here...but daaaamn, how few words can cause so much confusion. |

Er, the magazine ban itself is very very much in the AWB, very explicitly defined; magazines of > 10 round capacity made after September 13 1994 must be marked LEO-only and are not for sale to those who don't quality. Pistol, rifle, rimfire...if it's detachable and fits in an autoloader, it's banned if it can hold more than 10 rounds, or isn't permanently blocked to 10 rounds or less. The only exemption in the AWB and state law was a tubular magazine like on a lever action. NY has no other state-wide magazine bans; it's strictly in the AWB. Yes, this also impacts belt-feds...the links must be dated, if they are manufactured after Sep 1994. Thank god pretty much all 1919 links are pre-ban
Hence why pre-ban mags are more expensive in NY and explicitly marketed to people there on the EE here, as are pre-ban BetaC's and such. |

Wow there is some derp in this thread...
With a semi-auto rifle made after 1994 that accepts detachable magazines, you can have ONE "evil" feature. Most of us with post ban ARs, that feature is the pistol grip that "protrudes conspicuously beneath the stock." With a stock 10/22, there is no pistol grip, so a threaded barrel is FINE. Just don't put an EBR stock on it! |
