So, if a rifle has a detachable magazine and is semi auto then you can't have: pistol grip, telescopic stock, threaded barrel, muzzle "break", flash suppressor, bayonet lug. Keep mags to <=10 rounds. If it's not semi auto, you can have all the things. If it's semi auto and does not have a detachable magazine, you can have all the things.
Shotguns... Pump, anything is ok. Semi-auto can't have detachable mag of any type, or pistol grip, ... I'd just keep it strictly fudd-looking.
If you're in a hurry, yea, take I90 and pay the tolls, if you have EZPass, it'll be cheaper. Routes 5 and 20 are another way to go if you wanna see the small towns and whatnot along the way. Even though I can see the thruway from our house, I rarely take it.
The AR pictured below is "probably" legal... or at least legal enough to have some local deputies make fun of me.
