I know for a fact people in NYC have legally registered a regular 10/22 in NYC, with proof of 5 round magazines...

Has anyone successfully registered a takedown model of the ruger 10/22?

I don't see why it would be any different, as long as I have 5 round mags... would the takedown aspect of it make it a "collapsible" stock, thus turning it into an assault rifle?
 
I'm not in NY, but an area with similar restrictions. Here, the take down model was allowed on the basis that it cannot be fired without being fully configured.
 
5 round mags in a 10/22?....didn't know they existed until now. It's just sad what some poor souls who live outside American borders have to do:barf:
 
I don't know that I would shoot my 10/22 if it weren't for the 25 round mags I've bought for it....If I shot 5 at a time I think I might actually be able to afford to shoot some of the bigger guns

LOL, I guess a brick of 22 LR would last a long, long, long time at that rate. (LOL)

yeah, tell me about it guys... I can only have a limit of 5 rounds, for any long gun...
But I wanted to have a 22 rifle in my collection... and the 10/22 TD seems very very nice... easy takedown.... just wondering if it is legal for me to own.. I'm running out of options, as most of the things I like are illegal in this part of NY.

That's not to say I can't store hi cap mags OUTSIDE of the city... just not in the 5 boroughs.

not to hijack my own thread... but I've been wondering what kind of options I'd have for this city's strict gun laws..... I already have a 12g pump...... and an 8mm mauser that I'd love to trade for a bolt in either .308, or 7.62X39, or .223. Anyone know any guns in those calibers that come wit a 5 round factory mag?
 
MOST bolt .308's are 5 round magazines. Many if not most are blind magazines as well, not detachable. So I think you're fine with them.
 
I also live in NYC if you find out about the take down please let me know i just started trying to figure that one out myself. also is the 8mm mauser an original german made (nothing to trade but maybe buy off)
 
yeah a german made mauser that was sold to the spanish military pre wwii- I'll be in Brooklyn in 4 weeks if you want to take a look at it, pictures don't do it justice :)

Let me see if I can wrap my head around this. You live in NYC, you have to register a .22 rifle and you are allowed only 5 round magazines?:confused: Dude, the boarders are freakin' open! Uhaul has trucks that you can rent! What would possess you to stay there? There ARE other jobs and housing outside of New York! Get the heck out of there and don't look back lest ye be turned to a pillar of salt.
 
Grunt: LMBO!!! Couldn't have said it better myself; Though I do understand that some people feel / are trapped by other obligations (family ect...). You can get started with a Savage Axis XP in .308 which includes a 3-9x40 Bushnell scope for around $350 give or take (I don't know how bad NY prices are). Mine was one inch accurate at 100yards right out of the box and I couldn't ask for much more. Might keep you from having to sell off too much to get one. Oh and the detachable box mag only holds 4 rounds.

Good luck.
 
The issue with owning any rifles bigger than a .22 isn't even in mag capacity. Have you looked at any ranges in NYC? I have, the vast majority (more like all) are short indoor ranges and do not allow anything besides pistols and .22 rifles. So even if you get the gun, what are you going to do with it?

The nearest range outside the city is the Blue Mountain range in Westchester but you can only fire 1 shot at a time. As in load one, fire, load one, fire. That's a 1 round mag capacity.

If you want to do real shooting you have to drive out to PA. At which point you may as well store the guns in PA and pick em up when you go there to shoot. That way you can own anything you want, as long as it stays out of the city.

As for the takedown, I see no problem with it. I doubt it would count as a folding stock because for that the gun generally has to be able to be fired in it's "folded" configuration. Go to a NYC gun shop and ask them if they would be able to register it for you.

Check out DF Bros. on New Utrecht Ave. in Brooklyn. I know that gun shops are generally a bad source of info when it comes to anything. But DF Bros. offers a service where they handle the registration for you. Since they deal with the process on a regular basis, I'm sure they would know what can and can't be registered.
 
I've seen the 10/22 TD for sale in a store in Staten Island. I can't say for sure how the Rifle & Shotgun division is handling them, but the guy at the store was actively trying to sell them and I expect he wouldn't be doing that if customers were complaining about their registrations failing.

Any FFL will be able to do the registration for you. When they give you the rifle, they fill out all the paperwork and send it in. That isn't a special service, it's something they have to do. Administrative code section 10-304(e)(1) states: If the seller is a licensed dealer, he or she shall at the time of the sale issue a certificate of registration to the purchaser provided to the dealer for that purpose by the police commissioner and shall forward to the police commissioner the duplicate thereof, together with the report of disposition. (I'm a lawyer.)

The rules for longarms aren't actually that onerous, unless you're used to living in a place where there aren't any rules. It's very possible for most people to get rifles and shotguns, unless they're felons or mentally unstable. The five-round limit is a pain, to be sure, but magazine changes are quick. Of course, it's basically impossible to get a carry permit in the city...

As for the people asking why we'd stay in NYC, the answer is simple: It's the best city in the world. I'll take dealing with obnoxious gun laws if it means I live here :D
 
Yeah... sometimes we can't just pick up and start a new life anywhere... I tried.. and I find myself coming back to NYC. It's home.... as bad as the laws are here, I have lifelong friends, and all of my family here....

so 5 rounds for me it is. Do you remember how much the TD was in Staten island?
 
No idea how much it cost, but the place was called Rosebank Sports, phone number (718) 447-3664.
 
Yeah, I've taken apart the Ruger 5-shot magazines for cleaning and the only difference is that there's a post that blocks the... spindle?... so that it can't rotate past a certain point. Ruger could make them with any capacity (up to 10 :D) just by changing the position of that post.

If I wanted one for defensive purposes and of course I'd want to be legal, I'd look at the Ruger in .44 magnum, a Browning BLR or a Savage in .308. All are lever actions with detachable magazines, of which I'd have several.

Semi-auto, I'd look at the Remington 742 or the improved 7400.
 
"The rules for longarms aren't actually 'that' onerous"

Within that qualification lies the core of every restriction of liberty.

Are you kidding? Your rights as listed under the Constitution of the United States of America are trampled, you do know this, right? Well, as long as you're happy with your pizza pies and such as an equitable trade for your rights, more power to ya. However, when I hear residents of places that complain about magazine capacity restrictions, waiting periods, existing AWB laws that are still in effect, "may issue" CCW permits, FOID cards and the like yet refuse to leave there, it completely baffles me. Hey, I turned down a pretty decent paying job a couple years ago simply because it was in California and I refuse to relocate to an area where I would be treated like a Jew in Nazi Germany by the local government. Glad some of you all can live like this but it will NEVER be for me!!!
 
A friend registered his 10/22 Takedown with NYC. With something stating you have a 5 round capacity you shouldn't have any issues.
 
BTW why is the Takedown so important? I know NYC apartments are small but you can't tell me that a full 10/22 won't fit in your closet.

For some people it's not as simple as just stuffing all your crap in a suitcase and hopping on the first bus heading west. There's family, friends and careers to worry about.

Much easier for someone like, since I have no family of my own to take care of and no real career tying me down for now. So quite frankly I could just grab a suitcase and skip town. Dallas, TX looks nice. But even then i would need atleast a couple grand saved up to keep myself afloat while I set myself up there. So if you want to front me the money and maybe help me line up a job for when I get there, then sure I'll pack up my stuff and be on the bus tomorrow.
