vententersearch 0 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I have a non converted 7.62 and am nervous to convert it because i live in nassau county in new york. I am weary at best about the legality of the conversion especially since in about 6 months time i need to voucher my firearm at my local precinct when i go for the police academy. Does anyone know where i can find a FIXED pistol grip stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
su16a 84 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 it appears to be a "state specific" question so it would probably be in your best interest to look for that answer locally. it looks like NY may have a gun forum or two, take at http://www.nyfirearms.com/forums/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

D-H 20 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) NY is pretty shitty. I'm not a legal expert so you should still get facts from a professional on the subject matter, but in NY your Saiga will be considered an assault weapon after conversion because it will have "evil" features. I copied/pasted this from another firearms site after about a minute of doing a google search for NY assault weapon laws: All of NY state's laws can be found on the internet here: http://public.leginf....MMONQUERY=LAWS The laws pertaining to firearms are in the Penal Code under article 265. "Assault weapon" means (a) a semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (iii) a bayonet mount; (iv) a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; (v) a grenade launcher; or ( a semiautomatic shotgun that has at least two of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (iii) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of five rounds; (iv) an ability to accept a detachable magazine; or © a semiautomatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following characteristics: (i) an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; (ii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer; (iii) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned; (iv) a manufactured weight of fifty ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; (v) a semiautomatic version of an automatic rifle, shotgun or firearm; or (d) any of the weapons, or functioning frames or receivers of such weapons, or copies or duplicates of such weapons, in any caliber, known as: (i) Norinco, Mitchell, and Poly Technologies Avtomat Kalashnikovs (all models); (ii) Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil; (iii) Beretta Ar70 (SC-70); (iv) Colt AR-15; (v) Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR, and FNC; (vi) SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9, and M-12; (vii) Steyr AUG; (viii) INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9 and TEC-22; and (ix) revolving cylinder shotguns, such as (or similar to) the Street Sweeper and Striker 12; Edited August 27, 2012 by D-H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chevyman097 2,579 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 postpone your conversion until you finish the police academy then transfer to a different state. There are plenty of job opportunities for LEOs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigtwin 219 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I agree with holding off on the restoration of your Saiga after reading what D-H posted. Every state is different and a few really suck, mine is one of them. With the info D-H provided yours may be worse(sucks because NY City is not NY state)! I have many issue here in CA too. All I can say is read the laws closely in your state, and maybe join some firearms forum for your state specificly to get more education, I am sure they exist. Good luck in the academy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
