A folding or telescoping stock;
Any grip of the weapon, including a pistol grip, a thumbhole stock, or any other stock, the use of which would allow an individual to grip the weapon, resulting in any finger on the trigger hand in addition to the trigger finger being directly below any portion of the action of the weapon when firing;
A forward pistol grip;
A flash suppressor; or
A grenade launcher or flare launcher; or

A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than thirty inches; or
And "All IZHMASH Saiga 12 Shotguns" are banned.
Some shops may carry them (Siaga sporting rifles) others may not.
This older thread indicates someone bought one from Connecticut Firearms and Tactical in Orange earlier this year and that other shops may be carrying them.
