I'll be heading to upstate Newyork to visit a friends cabin for a couple weeks in August

 

Im not so familiar with the laws up that way and I'm wondering if bring a shotgun/and or rifle will be a problem?

you might want to google NY SAFE Act and/or take a look here

 

Just check whether your firearms qualify as "safe."

Mag can't have a pistol grip, muzzle Device , fore grip or mags over 10 but only 7 loaded

Q: I shoot a lever action rifle that chambers a pistol cartridge (such as 44 Magnum or 45 Colt). My rifle’s tubular magazine holds 10 rounds. Can I load the magazine to capacity?

A: You may only load 7 rounds into the magazine.

 

Rugers are tanks.  I have the 4.62 barrel in a Blackhawk Convertible, very nice balance.  Rocks 125 grain 357 rounds.  Sort of a hammer of Thor kinda deal.

Did you mean to post that in the length of a revolver barrel thread ?

All correct except for the magazine info. Originally the unSAFE act passed the only 7 rounds in your magazine while carrying your firearm. Yes NY issues carry permits to it's subjects depending on what county you live in but I digress. There was a court decision last year that found the 7 round limit to be "arbitrary" (like 10 is not) and returned the limit to 10. Did the legislature amend the law? Of Course not but you can carry 10 if you have a NY carry permit. You could always put 10 in your magazine at a range. That didn't change.

 

Here is a discussion in NY gun forums regarding the issue:  http://nyfirearms.com/forums/laws-politics-firearms-self-defense-weapons/109513-7-10-i-thought-already-worked-out-until-yesterday.html

 

Here is the recently retired sheriff from Fulton Co NY speaking about the safe act. His replacement and almost all upstate sheriffs have the same opinion.

 

 

Just do not bring a handgun. It is illegal to even shoot a friends handgun if you don't have a NY pistol permit. That law is followed just as strictly as the unSAFE assault rifle registry.

Thanks fellas

 

I was just planning on heading up with a 12g pump and a bolt action. I don't feel like that's gonna be a problem but you never know these days

It's why NYC and possibly Albany should be the new Bikini Atoll.....
