I actually stated, things if court can always go goofy? all the more so in today's world,
BUT legal definitions are what they are and in laws, and cannot be changed!


and I Actually believe your wrong, as a gas tube isn't really something that can be replaced in the field, as the gas tube has to be pinned in, and most need tools to do so, or cannot do with them!
its NOT a simple thing to replace while a warden is approaching you by any means!
this is NOT an argument here, you have your opinion and I have mine
till laws and codes come out here, I will share one at the bottom on my side?


so, baesed on what I know. there is NO law that says a it has to be preeminently modified, to be called a single shot rifle, it just as to ONLY function as one, , NO self loading or unloading and has to be manually operated! as definition of it!

what about adding a Muzzleloader upper to an AR
or a , the FACT they and make single shot uppers?
these too will ALL make using an AR in the field right now, and it being legal in the right hunt/season!


SO< again, I will strongly disagree with you, based on things I know to be, true,
if you KNOW the law, Please share the code with me
this is NY's
have a look, I gather Pa's is about the same
and the BATF's is also, on this
PER NY's code, didn't see Pa's handy!


Semi-autois well defined in PL265.00, and an AR w/o a gas tube is not semi-auto by definition

http://codes.findlaw.com/ny/penal-la...ct-265-00.html

21. “Semiautomatic” means any repeating rifle, shotgun or pistol, regardless of barrel or overall length, which utilizes a portion of the energy of a firing cartridge or shell to extract the fired cartridge case or spent shell and chamber the next round, and which requires a separate pull of the trigger to fire each cartridge or shell. - See more at: http://codes.findlaw.com/ny/penal-la....TuJHO3SX.dpuf
