I feel you fam, but look past the economics - I wanna know if these "Non-NFA" AR "Not-a-rifle-not-a-pistols" are really a legit loophole. If so, I can't wait to build an AR riftol in .308 and be even more of an a-hole at indoor ranges than I am at shotgun shoots. (right Zeke?) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High Exposure 5,635 Posted June 15, 2019 Troy is making one as well. Has 1/7 twist rifling - not straight rifling. Designed to be fired with 2 hands - pistol grip and broom handle vert grip - So it isn’t a pistol. It doesn’t have a stock, so it isn’t a rifle. Overall length makes it not an AOW. Squarely in the “Firearm” realm. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maksim 1,504 Posted June 15, 2019 So the company is from NY and makes "NY Compliant" guns. So from the the website... https://www.dark-storm.com/dsi/variant-1/v1-firearms/dsi-variant-1-non-nfa-firearm-5.56/ So will have to defer to the NJ people who are up on it... BUT... Certainly not a rifle... BUT isn't NJ defining pistols itself anyway? Personally, I would be quite concerned shooting it in NJ myself as you will certainly attract attention. With the Franklin Armory product at least it is more explainable, non-rifled barrel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am just wondering how many of the people buying these will be 100% able to explain why it is not a rifle, not a pistol or an AOW. =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0Jeep4 87 Posted June 15, 2019 Okay so now the real question is how does one get a receiver transferred to themselves labeled “firearm”. Last I check receiver in nj only transfer as rifles I thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you’re referring to that they were saying there’s were pistols with the pistol brace. You can’t pull that in NJ because of our overall weight non sense. So isn’t this new to everyone around the NFA sbr tax stamp? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sota 1,191 Posted June 15, 2019 The moment @remixer says he'll transfer a stripped lower as "firearm" and I can build one of these on my own, I'm down for 3 lowers. also, anyone got a link to 3" or longer not-a-suppressor cans? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are we talking the pistol brace thing? So that is not the central issue here... it is that this gun was made with the forward vertical grip, thus "Designed" to be fired two hands... much like that "Brace" was not designed to be fired off of the shoulder. For NJ, this non-AOW status basically tries to thread a very small hole where it is not a pistol, not a rifle, and not an AOW. So not subject to the pistol weight limit. Of course, what I think this will do is simply cause 1 of 2 things to happen... 1. NJ redefines these guns and sneaks it into the next set of bills. 2. Gets ATF off their ass and shut down the whole "pistol" thing... which would be bad. In any case, this will be a bigger issue in NJ than when NJSP said an M1 Carbine clone was okay... until it wasn't. Just a matter of time until an SBR with a vertical fore grip is seen as precisely as that. lol. But yes... I believe to own one of these... it needs to be purchased... rather than built....

I promise you it is only a matter of time.... I will see what my contact at PSA says. See, for $499, I can see this being a cheap bet. Spending $1,500 on something oh so in your face... I would not be able to justify. Honestly, knowing that Troy is making one of these... PSA is likely to have these within 30 days as all of these parts are readily available.

The one being sold in the IG picture and as posted are the newer "Non-NFA" guns with a detachable mag. Interesting, the "Non-NFA" gun is only for CT or NJ... it is NOT legal in MA, NY, CA, or MD. Wonder the specific difference. https://www.dark-storm.com/dsi/variant-1/v1-firearms/dsi-variant-1-non-nfa-firearm-5.56/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0Jeep4 87 Posted June 15, 2019 So in theory, this thing could have a normal removable muzzle device? and adjustable stock? Considering it’s no longer designated as a rifle do the “evil feathers” no longer have a role ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
