Where’s the best place to get one?

As long as it doesn’t have a foldable stock it’s legal in NYS right?

Registration? Taxes? Fees?

Thanks…

No registration. No Fees, and the only tax you pay is sales tax (for now at least). When I bought mine 10 or so years ago, they had to hold it for a couple days to do some sort of background check… I think that still stands.

Can’t have a sawed barrel or a pistol grip either.

You should be able to walk in and walk out with a shotgun in about 20 min in NYS.

As for folding stock you should be OK as long as you’re not buying a Saiga or something.

4

FUCK, no pistol grip?

I can’t get a mossberg JIC then?

5

Yes, you can.

Anything you see in the store, you can buy. Pistol-grip shotguns are perfectly legal. Read the statute you posted.

6

^ apparently not in the city of Rochester.

7

Pretty sure they are legal in NYS. They have a few pistol grip shotties at the Buffalo Gun Center. Most of the pistol grip ones are 16 or 20 gauge for recoil and control issues

8

You live in NYC right? Look into the city laws where you live. I know the differ from NYC compared to say Long Island or other parts of NY.

Mossberg 500! Dooooo it

10

Yeah you’re right, can’t have a pistol grip and something else like extra capacity. Then it’s illegal.

11

The “assualt weapons” ban only applies to semi automatic long guns. so get a pump action shotty and you don’t have to worry about pistol grips or folding stocks ect…

Semi-automatic shotguns with two or more of the following:

    * Folding or telescoping stock
    * Pistol grip
    * Fixed capacity of more than 5 rounds
    * Detachable magazine

Oh boy. Daddie is going to rob bodegas in the Bronx. :lol:

13

Don’t you know karate?

14

Right.

Pump-action, tube-fed shotguns are fair game.

15

So now that you don’t have all that nyspeed internet money flowing in you’ve decided to start robbing banks?

16

If going with a pump I’d recommend the Remington 870 over the Mossberg 500. The 870 is a much nicer gun for roughly the same money.

17

I like smallish looking guns. I’m looking at the 870 with the 14" barrel lol, is that even legal for a non-law enforcement guy to have?

18

I don’t know karate.

I just want to go shoot shit.

19

not legal…a long gun is anything with a 16" or longer barrel.

20

Remington 870 end of story. MM or Police issue. You can get them with the 18" barrel to be legal.

Winchester 1200 would be my second choice.
