Legality of AR/M4 variants in Connecticut?

[fullmetalredhead]

I'm moving to the New Haven area in a few months and as I understand it, will need to have a couple guns modified to conform with state law.

For M4 variants, my understanding is that I need to have any folding stocks pinned; flash suppressors removed (or replaced with compensators); and bayonet lugs filed off. Is there anything else I need to be concerned about?

That just about covers it, but I'll clarify it a bit. Folding OR collapsible stocks have to be pinned. Flash suppressors are not allowed and compensators or brakes need to be perm attached because threaded barrels are not allowed. Suppressors are iffy because they can be interpreted to be flash hiders. And as you stated, no bayo lugs.

The CT AWB is similar to the expired Fed AWB, but I would read it to appreciate the differences. High cap mags are ok. Good luck with the move.

And of course, a disclaimer. I'm not an attorney and the above should not be regarded as legal advice.

Specifically, what guns do you have & when they were mfg may also allow you to keep the features you mentioned.

Some guns no mater what features they have are no go.

Example :AR15 & Sporters, AK Type in 7.62x39mm

I have two Daniel Defense M4s (one full length, one middy). I figured I could get the stocks pinned, and the A4 flash hiders replaced by compensators (which would need to be pinned like Iceman stated). I'd also have a gunsmith file off the bayo lugs.

Man, I wish the feds would step in more on all of this gun control crap and slap the states around a little.

I'm not familiar with any of the retail and gunsmithing shops down in the New Haven area. However, if you don't mind a 40 minute drive JoJo's Gun Works is well worth the drive. Jody and John are great guys. Quality work backed by great customer service. http://www.jojosgunworks.com/

Additionally, BMG Guns is another great shop. If your looking for a pre ban lower to get around the AWB hes your man. http://www.bmgguns.com/

Goodluck on your future move.
