Paul...Swampy is Law enforcement, and with a letter from his C.O. he can legally make the purchase with the dreaded threaded barrel/flash suppressor, 6 position stock and bayonet lug. Not that any of it is necessary for function or accuracy.
Ken, might be better off getting a post ban model or NY legal AR. If you retire, will you still be able to maintain possession of that evil black rifle if you get it with the No no's of the AWB?
