??? Muzzle Brakes / Flash Hiders ???

[JVG]

@v8lonoma

but can you have a threaded barrel with the muzzle brake permanently attatched? i think ive seen them sold locally at gun stores this way.

Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and two or more of the following:

• Folding or telescoping stock
• Pistol grip
• Bayonet mount
• Flash suppressor, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one

if your barrel is threaded with a muzzle brake permanently attatched, can it be considered able to accommodate a flash suppressor?

edit: further down i think i found the answer…

The ATF technology branch determined in 1994 that muzzle brakes were not impacted by the AWB, and that muzzle brakes on threaded barrels were not an assault weapon feature, so long as they were welded or soldered in place.

Federal Assault Weapons Ban - Wikipedia

so you can have a threaded barrel in NY on an ar but you better have a muzzle brake permanently attatched.

correct i stated that previously in a couple posts up.
