ffl Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 From my understanding of the reading of the NY Assualt Weapons ban a pistol that has a shroud that covers the barrel is now considered an "Assualt Weapon". There are exemptions in the law to allow more mag capacity for competion shooters but nothing I read allowed a pistol with a shroud even in competition. The definition of "Assault Weapon" could also cover site mounts in other shooting sports if they cover the slide too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphamikefoxtrot Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Finally! I am sick of hearing about all the nutjobs that go on killing sprees with Bianchi open guns. Way to go NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothguy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) http://www.brianenos...howtopic=167382 I wondered the same thing about Hawaii. If you have a threaded barrel and a shroud it's an assault weapon. It is comforting to know that it does exclude firearms modified to render them permanently inoperable.

KMacari Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Reading through the 'new' laws here in NY, not only are our Bianchi open guns now considered assault weapons, but any open pistol with a threaded barrel/comp. It apears that we can register then as assault weapons, but my gut feeling is thats the first step to having them ultamately taken away. It may be time to get out of NY soon! If not, there will be a few competitors at the BC from NY that are now considered criminals by NY law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlh339 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 That my friends is why my open gun is in the classifieds. I am so frustrated I may sell everything and start knitting. Unless they classify the needle as an AW. Following all this crazyness in NY has made my blood pressure go up and my head spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMacari Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The Trubore may be legal, as the law only called out a 'threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer.' . There's still a LOT of confusion around around the new laws, so that's something that I would probably have to check with the State Police on (even though they are just as confused as everybody else).

toothguy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm wondering if there is a way to weld a pin in an existing comp making it a permanent installation and not capable of accepting a barrel extention. I don't weld but it must be difficult with some of the comps aluminum and titanium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The TruBor may be legal ... Now the problem is to find 7 round mags for the TruBor I have two TruBors, but I'm leaving them in Florida when I go home in the Spring, with my mags ...

ffl Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 It appears that you can still use 10 round mags but only load 7. I am sure the criminals will follow that rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck223 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I hadn't considered this. I was just discussing the idea of a custom barrel shroud with barricade wings for the Grand Power X-Calibur. I bounced an idea off a friend about using the accessory rail and slide stop pin, but wondered about torque. His reply stopped me in my tracks. A Bianchi gun prohibited. Wow.

ADR Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm a former resident of the Empire State. Its a dumb law promulgated by dumb elected officials who have a "passion" to legislate and regulate. What bothers me most about the law is how "Adolph" Cuomo and his merry men wiped their A** with the NY State Constitution by pushing through this law without benefit of committee meetings and public comment-- they didn't even wait the three days mandated by the state constitution before making it state law.
