The way the rules work for the state legislature they probably cannot take up a bill to close what they view as a loophole until 2017 unless they go the EC route again.

So stalling till one of the 1600 "refugees" we're going to take in gives them a nice new reason for a new shiny EC.

Ayup. I fucking hate this state. I can't afford to leave and every day I just dread. 20 dollars they close the "Pre-ban loophole" too.

What preban loophole?

It's specifically worded in the law that they are legal to own, buy, sell, transfer.

They will never make a determination. They will just find another excuse.

They probably feel they cant win in court because the way the law is worded, so they need to stall until they can change it.

Yep... I guess we should anticipate another law next year to ban these. They're probably ban pre-bans too and make us register them. I'm sure they will have to add something new while they're at it, so they'll probably add other grey area guns to the list too that aren't banned by name that some shops are still transferring.

A lot of these type of discussions reminds me of WWII Germany.  Instead of producing larger numbers of weapons that worked, they spent huge amounts of time and resources on trying to come up with "Wonder Weapons"

Sure it is a worthy task to challenge the AWB by all means possible.  The Freedom Shoppe has found a very small opening, and is trying to exploit it.  Good for them, but don't get your hopes up.

The pre-ban road is wide open (for now).  We should concentrate on getting as many of them as possible into the state while we can.  Yes, the prices are rising, but they are 100% legal, and most FFLs in the state will handle them now.

Want to thumb your nose at the state?  Get a pre-ban AR, then buy one of the fixed magazine ARs for good measure.  Spare parts will fit on either one, as well as uppers.  Sure the fixed magazine AR is a joke, but it is fine for range work.

Do they make any 80% lowers that don't have the mag catch milled in?  That is the difference with the Dark Storm, and CTLegal lowers, there is no machine work done for the mag catch.  The CTLegal lower also does not have the channel broached in the lower portion of the mag well, that clears the "hump" around the magazine mag catch slot.  This prevents you from inserting a magazine from below, you must remove the bolt catch, and drop the magazine in from above.

Me too!  All of the CT legal AR15 substitutes are all too close in price to a pre-ban to motivate me to buy one.  However, since AR-10 pre-bans are substantially more expensive, and a fixed mag version would be interesting.

Agreed, but in theory at least an AR "substitute" could be a truck gun legally.  Preban is still a no go for that.

Troy PAR has a folding stock.

The Troy PAR can have all the evil features, including a folding/collapsible stock, because it is not a semiautomatic rifle, there for its not subject to any of the idiotic AWB feature ban language. It is pump action.

For a centerfire semiautomatic detachable magazine rifle. which isn't banned by name, that is subject to the feature bans, if one fixes the magazine (containing no more than 10 rounds) into place then they can have all the evil features on the rifle they want. At that point, the only restriction from the current AWB would be the (eta: under) 30 inches in over all length.

I was at Hillers a year or so ago and an older black gentleman was shooting his new Troy PAR and having a blast. I let his try my semi pre ban and he let my try his. We we're both surprised at the recoil difference. It was nice to see new blood getting into black rifles despite the hurdles.

Will be interesting to see both letters either way. Will be funny if the letter end up like the Sig Brace letter.

I do suspect however that someone at some point will probably end up being a test case for the FM14. Putting on the tinfoil beanie I could see SLFU sitting back and letting a few of the FM14's get transferred, then use the DPS-3-C form to track down the user and confront or even arrest them then sit back and let the courts make the final decision.

I would too. However, the problem we face is we are relying on the courts, several of which have previously ruled that even though the latest AWB is an infringement its OK because "public safety", to see it our way in this instance. I'm not optimistic they'd see it our way.

If that was the case, wouldn't they go after buyers of pre-ban as well? Those are being transferred on a regular basis.

Oh they can try but they'd most likely loose since SLFU and a (former) Commissioner for DESPP both have indicated publicly that banned by name prebans can be bought/sold/possessed/transferred. Any non banned by name preban was always (eta: except between 4/4/13 and 6/18/13) good to go legally.

Another update, from CTGT:

After lengthy consultation with attorneys specializing in the firearms industry who are familiar with the horrible political conditions we have in CT, where the AG and the judges don't care about the letter of the law  - I've decided that the best thing to do is to add another layer of insulation between the fascists in the state, and the buyer.  

To that end, I've modified the design such that the barrel is cut down to 12.25in in length to make it NOT a pistol under CT law, including quadrail and foregrip, pistol buffer tube, and registering them with the ATF as NFA AOW, with a $5 transfer tax.  

Now that it is a full up AOW, the State will have the problem of contradicting the ATF if they want to argue that it is a 'rifle' or a 'pistol', as an AOW is by DEFINITION neither of those things.   :evil:

And you have an ATF tax stamp to prove it.

We've started doing the form4 transfer paperwork on them.  The low cost of a $5 transfer tax is a bonus to have the additional boilerplate and CYA paperwork to protect the buyers from potential depredations by the state.

Its only $5. From the ATF...

What is the tax on the transfer of an NFA firearm?
The tax is $200 for the transfer of any firearm except a firearm classified as an “any other weapon” which is $5.

An unserviceable firearm may be transferred as a curio or ornament without payment of the transfer tax.

[26 U.S.C. 5811, 5852(e) and 5845(h); 27 CFR 479.11, 479.82 and 479.91]

I don't get why they are going the AOW route and I don't see the value of NFA registration as a mechanism to prove state law legality. While NFA Branch has a policy of not approving making and transfer / registration applications for firearms that violate state law, part of the application is an attestation by the applicant that the firearm/ making/ transfer comply with state law. Since ATF doesn't necessarily have full knowledge of the nature of the firearm in front of them, it is conceivable that based on the knowledge they have, the information on the application, and the attestation, that a Legal Instruments Examiner could easily approve an application that might violate state law.

(Note that I am not making any statement about any specific firearm or making any suggestions about course of action anybody should take.)
