| Do any other states need AR's?? Looking to sell one to loosen up some cash for a project. |
|
Quoted: I'm really glad I never bought prebans I am very glad I bought my very very old A1 AR15 that is still worth what I paid for it, and then some. People just need to buy smart. I'm sure my old revolvers are not going to lose value because Cuomo wants a new shiny white house for residence. |

I thought pre-ban rifles were G2G in MA? I know pre-ban mags are.
Quoted:
I'm really glad I never bought prebans Same here. Even living in a free state for 2 years, having all the "evil" features, didn't make me want a pre-ban when I got back to NY. Not for the price difference, anyway. |

Quoted:
What's going on in CT? Do they still care about pre bans or do they have a new law? That's where all the pre bans used to go because the prices were crazy They've had a new ban put in place since Sandy Hook. I'm not sure of the details on it, though, or if pre-bans are still good. |

Can you guys still get receivers in NY? |

Can you guys still get receivers in NY? Yeah but only stripped. |

Quoted:
They also say you can't add features to your rifle. Someone should give them a copy of the law. It might benefit them. I got this straight from their legal counsel. I think he has read the law. I'm still very frustrated that they will not issue anything to dealers in writing |

Don't accept an answer without a reference. |

Don't accept an answer without a reference. They consider an AR to be an AR whether it has evil features or not. I went around and around with this guy on the phone for quite a while a couple of months ago |

Why sell something that for the foreseeable future you will not be able to replace? You can replace it. Sell the old pre ban and buy a stripped lower. Still too much dust in the air to tell which way the wind is blowing. Right now, a fully assembled AR is priceless within the confines of NY. They only get more rare from here. If you're playing by the book, then what you export today won't be what you get back in the future. Now is not the time to sell. |

Understandable but AR-15's are not banned under the new law. I understand that the belief here is that the new law entirely wiped out the old state ban, but apparently NYSP isn't viewing it that way They can view it they way they want over at the 'help line', but really, if it doesn't have the 1 feature to make it a weapon of mass destruction, there is nothing they can do. |

The old law and the new law are almost identical. The old law banned rifles based on features and did not allow you to own an assault weapon. The new law bans rifles based on features and ALLOWS you to own an assault weapon. |

It wasn't some flunkie telling me this on the helpline. Until they issue something in writing saying that stripped lowers are legal, I'm not transferring any more. They probably do want this confusion so that new compliant ARs aren't made...but having their legal counsel tell me what his take on the issue is, I'm disinclined to be anyones test case. Quoted:
The old law banned rifles based on features and did not allow you to own an assault weapon. The new law bans rifles based on features and ALLOWS you to own an assault weapon. The old law didn't just ban based on features. It also banned a slew of makes and models by name and any copy thereof. So my guess is they're cherry picking the bits and pieces of the old law and trying to dovetail what they want from old and new to come up with their interpretation. I would greatly like to see our Legislature force the NYSP to issue directives to dealers in writing, since NYSP seems disinclined to do so on its own. |

You can either follow the law as written or follow it as they tell you. Ar-15's are not banned. Under the new law Stripper lowers cannot be banned. If you owned a rifle that became and assault rifle on 1-15-13 you can add as many features as you want. Or hell don't follow it at all? Understandable from a business standpoint that you do though 
Also I'd say about 1 out of 5 gunshops I called ARE transferring stripped lowers so for anyone who needs 1 just call around. (Upstate N.Y Long Island is probably a reach) |

I tried to clear out a preban. Sat for a month or two and never went anywhere. No one much cares about Preban status anymore, first the Federal ban then the NY ban made an artificially inflated market for old guns-then NY Destroyed that market with the SAFE act. I don't know of many other states where preban means anything anymore. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=338302797 pre September '94 Saiga, hoop-de-do! Its just an old gun now, with no dimples and a funky non spec length barrel. |

Quoted:
Poop on pre-bans all you want, it allowed for purchasing of unmodified uppers which vastly opened up what was available to buy as an NY resident. As an enthusiast/competitor, the convenience of this more than made up for the increased cost of the lower. You did not need a pre ban lower receiver to purchase any type of upper receiver. |

They had their purpose, no doubt, and were clearly popular among NY'ers. It's just that for some, including myself, the price difference to a post-ban was not worth the gain. |

There are many items that don't exist post - ban . I thought matter could never be created nor destroyed? What no longer exists? Although there are copies , I don't believe there are any post-ban Hk91s or 93s . Or Real Galils ,Valmets . Give me a bit , I know theres a lot more . |

This is true, but it wouldn't of went to well if you got caught with an upper with a flash hider and/or a bayonet lug on a post ban lower receiver. |

I'm not shitting on anyone for it, we all are free to like and buy what we want, can't fault anyone for that. |
