When I talked to Bob the owner of firefly firearms on Thursday regarding the AST billet lowers I order he informed me that NYSP told him he couldn’t release any AR platform rifles of any kind to any resident. That is regardless of whether or not they were purchased and transfered in before the ban went into affect or if they were to be fitted with a bolt action upper / non pistol grip stock and no AW features. All Star isn’t on the list of banned manufacturers on the state website. So therefore if you wanted to build a new rifle on one of their lowers with a bolt action upper or non pistol grip stock you should be able to. To me this would be an example of the police exceeding the letter of the law an inserting their own views into it.
So is it legal to sell just lowers privately for the next 57 days? Based on what I’ve read it should be since just the lower isn’t an assault weapon?
