    Something to think about,

    Say you don't register the rifle and you get involved in a home defense shooting, what then?

    Even if you use a different firearm in the shooting do you wanna take a chance the police won't get a warrant and search your house?

    What if the unregistered gun gets stolen?

    What if you need to send it back to the factory for repair? You would have to send it through an FFL and if it's unregistered what will happen to you?

    Just some food for thought...
    If you can't win a gun fight against a lightly-trained individual during broad daylight with 88 rounds of 30-06, I'm not sure you'd be able to do it with... any other firearm.

    Ok, I've got an El Camino full of rampage here, so what's the plan?

    Ah, I thought you did. Thanks for the clarification. Fortunately I've never had to send any of my stuff in for repairs.

    If putting on the hokey-looking stock allows you not to have to register it, that logistically that might be a good option as long as the damage can be undone if this garbage gets repealed or you move to a free state. Otherwise, to keep you legal, send it out of state if you have people there you trust. To register or not to register is a personal matter. I lived in Kalifornia when the first MSR registration/ban went into effect and the screwballs kept sending up new legislation to ban them. Fortunately I moved, first to Texas and then to another free state so CURRENTLY it is not a worry. I would not be too concerned with your door getting kicked in by police as there aren't enough of them to go around. As others have mentioned, it's the home defense situations, the house fires or home emergencies, burglaries, or car accidents to or from a friendly range that could prove unfortunate. One thing is for certain is that the gun ban mentality has to be voted out aling with pro "living document" jurists.

    I'll chime in with the others and say don't register anything...but I'll also take it a step further and say don't change anything on the rifle either. Keep the stock as is. Do you shoot anywhere besides public ranges? If so, then I would definitely keep the rifle as is in "assault form" and not worry about it. Sort of a "finger" to NY. If you do shoot at public ranges, will they be checking to see if you have proof of registration? If you're planning on moving I would just do nothing and don't worry about it. Odds are you aren't the only one in NY that's contemplating this situation right now. Move to a free state ASAP.

    While that's normally true, I shipped a lower in to BCM for service and they said they had to send it back through my FFL to return it to me. Not sure if that was BCM's policy or their local laws (or mine in VA).

    Which is why half of my firearms are bought privately.

    To the OP, just buy the fugly stock and don't register.

    I know moving may not be a reasonable option, but if there is even a small possibility of getting out of NY to a free state, jump on it. I have family and friends in NY/NJ and I feel bad for them.

    The day they come for them, is the day you need to look to use them.

    I'm not advocating violence or am I advocating breaking the law. Those are personal choices that pixels on the internet shouldn't be able to influence or really even nudge you into a direction.

    Discretion is the better part of valor; it was not discrete to open a thread on the interwebz posing the question if you should/shouldn't defy state law. They'll come for you first. =D
