Can someone please clarify the minimum Legal Overall Length for rifles in New York State? I took a look at the sticky threads and couldn't find anything and a google search really didn't pull up anything definitive. I was under the impression that NYS didn't call out a specific length so it fell under the federal law of a minimum of 32" OAL. Can anyone verify this? Preferably with an actual citation of the law?
I only ask because in this thread: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=485599&sr=0 a user claims that NYS has a minimum OAL of 36" which I had never heard before. |

I could have sworn the federal minimum of a rifle was 26 inches as per the national firearms act of 1934http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Act#Categories_of_firearms_regulated ETA: People own folding stocked AK's in NY and with a 16 inch barrel and the stock folded they hover around 27 inches. |
What's weird? 3. "Firearm" means (a) any pistol or revolver; or (b) a shotgun having |

this can be chopped a lil yet... 26inches is SHORT My MSAR is stock config. http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs121.snc3/16861_584913142451_24000230_34386972_1280533_n.jpg It's still just a copy. My Brother has one that he picked up right in Alabama...much as I hate to admit it, they are a damn fine rifle.

How do you like your MSAR? Love it. I want a second one. Quoted:
That is sweet, does it accept AR15 mags? Mine isnt an E4. So I can only use MSAR and actual Steyr mags. I wanted it to be as close to "original" as possible. |
