I just sold a 14.5" barrel on the EE with a three prong flash Hider welded on. The guy who bought it has a PO Box in NYC he wants it shipped to. Any issues with this?

Thanks guys.

No problem with the barrel, because it's just that "a barrel" .

Anytime I see a NYC address for gun stuff, flags go up.  

It's just a piece of pipe.

There's a Freud joke in there somewhere.  Doesn't NYC have a thing about Assault Weapon parts?  I recall not being able to go there with a complete upper at some point?

I believe this is true.  I remember reading in the NYC laws something about all the different types of evil guns and their parts.  Not 100% sure though.

TSA has declared that all gun parts, regardless of what they are must be checked and declared (they must all be evil and dangerous I imagine).  A barrel is certainly long enough to be a weapon in and of itself but springs, firing pins, hammers, etc. are all included.  Not germane to the question about NYC but I only thought of it because I just read an article the other day about this.

AR15 parts are no longer considered assault weapon parts, because the Ares SCR is now legal in NYC. Hell even AR15 pistol grips and adjustable stocks can be used on NYC legal guns (some shotguns and some rifles). I've seen an M4 stock on a lever gun.

Parts are parts, even in NYC.
I can't find anywhere in the NYC AWB where it says anything about parts, I am using the letter the NYPD sent out back in 1990-92 as reference.

From NYC admin code: Definition of an "assault weapon"
(a) Any semiautomatic centerfire or rimfire rifle or semiautomatic shotgun which has one or more of the
following features:
1. Folding or telescoping stock or no stock.
2. Pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon.
3. Bayonet mount.
4. Flash Suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor.
5. Barrel Shroud.
6. Grenade launcher.
7. Modifications of such features, or other features determined by rule of the Police Commissioner to
be particularly suitable for military and not sporting purposes. In addition, the Police Commissioner
may, in such rules, designate specific semiautomatic centerfire or rimfire rifles or semiautomatic
shotguns, identified by make, model and/or manufacturer’s name, as within the definition of assault
weapon, if the Police Commissioner determines that such weapons are particularly suitable for
military and not sporting purposes.
(b) Any shotguns with a revolving cylinder magazine.
(c) Any part, or combination of parts, designed or intended to readily convert a rifle or shotgun into an
assault weapon


But again, AR parts these days can be used on so many guns, so it's kind of a moot point.

Plus, if I have a piece of wood dowel and some duct tape, couldn't I slap that onto a rifle and voila! A pistol gripped assault weapon! So unless they want to ban household items that could turn a gun into their "assault weapon", it's a bullshit law.
