    You cant buy uppers in NY it against the law?????

    So a fellow Police officer friend of mine works at a gun shop in upstate NY. I can get dealer pricing from him so. I asked him to get me a price on an upper he said sure no problem. I see him the next day at work and he tells me the owner of the store can’t sell me just uppers that it is against the law??????

    He said the owner can no longer sell just an upper because that means I am building guns and I don’t have a license to manufacture firearms. Does this sound wrong to anyone else?

    I told him that was ridiculous and I will just order it on the internet

    Those kind of people don't get my business. They do not EARN it with that crap. But I don't live there, so I don't know about a law like that. I haven't seen any web sites say they can't ship an upper to NY.

    Here's what I would do. I would go and ask to speak with him directly. I would then ask him to show you the section of the law that he is referencing. If he starts with some double speak I would tell him that you will take your business elsewhere and you will tell everyone that you know to do the same.

    I'm in Spencerport.

    If the shop you're talking about is the one in the village, don't bother with them. I took my business to Jackson Guns and Ammo in Henrietta after the local shop jipped me on some gunsmithing work I had done by them.
