Interesting. I like how they put the little language in at the end by saying it "may" avoid the ban state's definition of detachable magazine. Question is does the method they show to eject the magazine constitute disassembly of the firearm action under our stupid laws? Even with a fixed magazine you'd still be limited to 10 rounds.

| something else I noticed: every single gun they fired did not lock open when the mag was empty, rather the bolt got stuck halfway, then dropping the receiver caused the bolt to close, required it to be re-cocked after re-assembly to get another round in the chamber. |

IMHO a small price to pay. If you have to charge it, so what? You are already separating the halves. Technically this should be legal by definition of detachable magazine and would not constitute an AW if you only had 10 round mags. (a fixed +10 mag is an AW) |

The bolt hold open engages like normal, you just have to release it prior to splitting the firearm.
It is BS, I agree. I'd rather have a normal mag catch. However, I prefer it over a ban/registration, so for now I will tolerate it. The important thing is the continued sale and transfer within the law of long arms to the general public. A generational ban (which is what this is) cannot be tolerated. The language at the end was CYA, and came at the advice of my lawyer. This way, I didn't have to create a video for every state. -MR2 |

A vendor of mine contacted NYST, they told him their view re: the "detachable magazine" section:
"As long as the magazine cannot be removed while the firearm is in operation, it is NY SAFE legal". AR MR2 fits the bill, as the mag can't be released until the firing pin, bolt carrier, hammer, and buffer are disconnected from one another, and therefor out of operation. You're right about CT, they have publicly stated they will no longer render an opinion. Luckily, we got AR MR2 in front of them before that. CT will not call AR MR2 illegal, simply they won't comment in writing that it is legal. CA will not offer an opinion in any way, and this has been the case for every one of the 54 or so compliance products on the market. I actually went back to Darin Prince to get his take on it, and he said he's never been able to draw out an opinion one way or the other. Gotta love our "servants". I'm not a fan. |

The problem with this is once you block the magazine release with this product you are then limited to just 10 rounds in the "fixed" magazine. Meaning you'd probably have to either use a fixed 10 round magazine or permanently bock a "large capacity magazine" to 10 rounds and use it as the fixed magazine. Its nice to have a product like this as an option, but I don't know if I'd want to use it in my AR along with a fixed 10 round magazine just to get around the need for the "certificate of possession" for lawfully possessed AR's. Now if there is some way around the "copies or duplicates" of AR-15's that were in production on 4/4/13 ban language, then I could see this + the fixed 10 round magazine possibly being useful in getting around the single feature limit so one could possess an AR platform firearm.

If it is a stripped lower that isn't named in the new ban then theoretically one could use this device while assembling said lower into a complete firearm which would then be compliant according to state law. True, which is why I alluded to that in my earlier post. If you can get around the banned by name ban on "AR-15" then this product is useful. However, for existing post ban AR-15's that are already considered assault weapons, this product doesn't get around the fact that the AR-15 is banned by name.
Like was said earlier, anything that can be used to get around this restrictive law is a good thing. Anything that pisses off Dictator Malloy and his gun grabbing cohorts is a good thing. |
| so theoretically, if you have a AR that is banned by name, you can strip it down and bring the lower receiver to another state and trade it for a lower receiver that is not banned by name. then add this part to the receiver while still in that state. then you can have it "imported" into CT legally. just remember that if you are not a resident of the state you do these transactions in, you'd need to do everything through FFL's to avoid breaking federal law. |
