Will 6-Position Tactical Stock ever be legal in CT?

mp510, legally speaking, I don't think you're just a mere "ordinary person;" being that you have an in-depth understanding of the law. Not to mention discussing said law-- and firearms in general --on THR. ;)

But, yea, I didn't realize the ban covered simply owning the parts. I assumed it was like the old Fed or Cali bans where there was a limit on the number of spooky features that could be installed. That does change things quite a bit. But, then again, that kind of just makes it more arbitrary.

Is there any legal way to change the length after receiving it if one realizes it's too long or short? E.G., getting a gunsmith fix it, sending it back to the factory, etc.. Being that it's still essentially a telescopic stock (only with a pin in it), and assuming there's a legal way for someone to adjust it, should it not be reasonable for an ordinary person to think they can take it apart and change it at home as long as they re-pin it?

Or for that matter, say someone bought a stock pinned to its longest setting, tried it, then sent it back out of state to be shortened. If an LEO or a busybody at the range noticed the difference, might this possibly encourage arbitrary enforcement?

Bear in mind, I'm not arguing with you here. Just trying to think of an something to use in a Federal court if and when incorporation is on the table.

My grandparents lived in Connecticut when I was small, but once Washington gets under your skin, it's hard to do more than visit most places East. I so look forward to my next summer evening next to Lake Union :) (June? August? The anticipation is killing me.)

And in Washington, we can have 9- or 17-position stocks with no harassment ;) Just can't shoot through a ear-protection device.

Give Lars @ Newington Gun Exchange a call. He's got a nice market in "in between ban" receivers.

Remember, CT has 2 assault weapons bans.

AWB I listed by specific make and "select fire weapons."

AWB II was the adoption of the federal AWB that expired.

There are more than a few firearms manufactured between CT AWB I and CT AWB II that fall through the cracks and are thus LEGAL to own and guss up like any other EBR you might find in another Free State.

Lars @ Newington Gun Exchange has a nice stash of Eagle and Bushie :barf: in-between-ban lowers available. They go from $500-$800 depending on what you're looking for.

Happy shopping.

Yup, Lars keeps up on what's available... He also converted my carry handle to flat top for me.

Wish I had the extra $$ to go pick one of the loop hole firearms out.

Can't you just get an SBR and say, "the hell with your AWB?"

Not as far as state law goes, to the best of my knowledge. Even our SBR's have to comply with our AWB's.

However - machine guns DON'T provided they're not select fire.
