If I bought a pistol made in 1995 could I thread the barrel under current law?

No. The semiautomatic handgun would have to be manufactured prior to 9/13/1994. See Sec 53-202m.

Edit: Unless you already registered the semiautomatic handgun or the threaded barrel as an AW prior to Jan 1, 2014, you cannot thread the barrel of a post 9/13/94 semiautomatic handgun. Only people from the exempted class can have the fun stuff here in CT that was manufactured post 9/13/94.

You cannot register a barrel as an aw. I tried doing 2 and they were rejected. The host gun would have to be registered.

Well, that sucks balls. I sent in two forms for barrels. Haven't got shit back yet. Since it got rejected, what are your options now for the pistol? Did they even give you an option?

Doesn't matter now anyway since the registration cut off was Jan 1, 2014. Unless of course your a member of the protected class.

There were several here who attempted to register "parts" or threaded barrels rather than the firearm/frame/receiver. So far I don't recall any of them indicating or reporting their AW application being rejected.

The state should have sent back a letter indicating reason for the rejection. What was the state's reasoning?

When they called me, I believe I had the option of registering the 2 host guns because I made the attempt at trying to register lawfully. But why the hell would I want to do that? The guns become annoying with the new laws, can't carry and have to follow awb transport laws all because of some stupid threads at the end of the barrel! I told them I would just sell them out of state

I'm talking about handgun barrels not ar15 barrels. I registered an hk usp 45 tactical. If those barrels that I tried to register belonged to that gun they would've registered them. But because they belong to an entirely different handgun they wouldn't do it . I also didn't want to lie about it.

That does suck

They told me they would do it

Not surprised they were wrong and I was wrongly informed

It's a conversion part and if I ever bought a host it would fit it, I'd be fucked.

§§ 25-31 — ASSAULT WEAPONS







Definitions







Current law defines an "assault weapon” as:









1. any selective-fire firearm capable of fully automatic, semiautomatic, or burst fire at the user's option;







2. any of a list of named semiautomatic firearms;







3.
any unlisted semi-automatic rifle or pistol that can accept a
detachable magazine and has at least two of five specified features;







4. any semi-automatic shotgun that has at least two of four specified features; or







5.
a part or combination of parts designed or intended to convert a
firearm into an assault weapon if the parts may be rapidly assembled and
are in the possession or under the control of the same person (see
BACKGROUND for certain exemptions)

5. a part or combination of parts designed or intended to convert a firearm into an assault weapon if the parts may be rapidly assembled and are in the possession or under the control of the same person (see BACKGROUND for certain exemptions)

I mentioned that when I spoke to them,  the explanation was once its in its complete form or together as an aw the "gun"is  what needs to be registered.

They didn't tell me to get rid of the barrels but said the barrel and associated gun assembled in one place or near each other is constructive possession.

It's contradictive as opposed to what's mentioned in 5. But they don't want anything to do with it.

Did you ask to speak to their supervisor or someone else so you could explain the law to them? Due to the wording of the law you can technically register the barrel since its a part that will turn a firearm into an AW. So far I think you are the only one who has indicated that they couldn't register a threaded barrel. Its possible the person doing your paperwork at SLFU is misinformed. Others have reported that SLFU told them they could register the threaded barrel and not the firearm itself.

Can the Sig 1911-22 threaded barrel accept a flash suppressor, forward pistol grip or silencer? If not then its legal.

"A threaded barrel capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward pistol grip or silencer;"

Or its possible that the threaded barrel nut has been pinned in place so it cannot be removed.

Are there any people that were able to actually register the barrels or is it just people that were told they could. I spoke to 2 people there handling the paperwork.

I filled out all the relevant information for my homemade firearms. In some cases, that meant the only information on the form was manufacturer and caliber. The forms were processed without any complaints and I received certs for all of them. I didn't have any barrels or "combinations of parts" that needed registering on their own, but if I did the form would probably have looked very similar - the manufacturer would just be different.

What I'm saying is that from the perspective of the person reading the form there is no obvious way of knowing whether you're registering a complete firearm or a "combination or parts", unless you specifically wrote on the form that it was a barrel only or a combination of parts only.

My experience with the process suggests that if you submitted forms with legible writing, a valid name and address, a notary stamp, etc you'll probably get them back. It would make sense for them to assume good faith on the part of anyone who actually submitted a form, since so many people didn't.
4/25/2014 5:23:51 PM EDT
[#22]
I listed it as a barrel on the form. I'm sure that if I had labeled it as a handgun they probably would have accepted it, but that would be useless if I had that said barrel in a non registered handgun and got caught with it , I'd probably be a felon. That's if for certain that their not registering barrels or other parts or combination of parts used to convert a weapon into an aw. Stupid bullshit!

Capable is a very very loose term. It is not defined in the statute. Any threads are "capable" of accepting a can. I would tread very lightly.

If it is pinned I agree, its good to go.

Agreed, the term "capable" is not defined by the law and subject to various interpretations. Its why technically, even though there is disagreement over it, that a Walther P22 could be considered to be an AW because of its threaded barrel. Sure you have to use an adapter to mount the suppressor, but you screw that adapter onto the threaded P22 barrel.

a) Can't comment on anyone else but my rounds still land exactly where I want them to.  I use this to destroy hard drives from work to comply with HIPAA regulations
b) Either DA/SA (in the case of my SIG) or a SAO (in the case of my 1911) is the way God intended guns to be.
c) Never experienced rust.
d) Weight is subjective.  In comparison to my Ruger P89 the SIG is a lightweight.
e) Never experienced a cracked slide
f) Lefties are at the short end of the stick everywhere.  If you ever fired a PSL left handed the empties would give you a concussion.
g) I have a larger build which gives me a larger hand.  Can't help it if I'm further along the evolutionary scale than other people.
h) It's a West German gun made back when they were looking down the barrels of Soviet T-72s and they needed to know their guns would work.  No sheet metal in mine, but you do have a point about the newer ones.

I. Thanks.  This one has the ultra high intensity bulb which makes people blind for about ten seconds at night which makes it a predator.  I have a secondary "Just lets you see at night" bulb but I never found a reason to replace the old timer.
