Kinda hard to line up the sights on that :chuckle:

I have never shot anything like that, but I can tell you that if load an average .22 rifle with subsonic ammo it is not very loud.
I may just have to but some of that to try out in my new pea shooter!
When I have a question about Indiana gun laws, I start at the
IN gun owners forum. Those guys never let me down! Seem like within an hour or so someone on the forum has tracked down the info for me and posted links to the governing statute and often times links to specific court rulings on the matter.
My guess is that there is a similar forum specific to NY State.
Here is one you can check out...

I will be interested to hear if you find a good one, or if Indiana is just blessed in this area.
Karl said:Buying "Preban" UZI pistol...
I purchased an IMI/Action Arms UZI pistol from an out of state dealer and had it shipped to a NYS FFL.
The NYS dealer is questioning whether the gun is actually pre-ban and wants me to prove it.
Action Arms quit importing the UZI pistol in 1993, according to the Blue Book of Gun Values, and Action Arms later went out of business.
How the hell do I "prove" that the gun is pre-ban? I have not been able to locate any serial number lists, probably because these guns are all pre-ban...
Suggestions welcomed...

HD said:I see a problem with the whole topic at hand here..
To be an assault weapon and therefore illegal in NY state, the pistol must be:
1. Semiautomatic
2. Manufactured after September 14, 1994
3. Has two or more of the following:
•A magazine that attaches outside of the pistol grip
•A threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer
•A barrel shroud
•A weight of more than 50 ounces
Are there threads under that cap on the barrel? Does it weigh more than 50 oz. ? It appears those are the only two characteristics it MIGHT have. If either of those are a no, then it doesn't make any difference. Remember, magazines are a completely separate section of law. If it's in question if the magazine is pre-ban, worst case scenario you just don't take the magazine and get other mags. Uzi mags are easily found pre-ban and generally inexpensive.

Most .22 lr is in the 40 grain or less range. If I understand correctly, the reason these are sub sonic is because the bullets weigh more. If anything there should be more kick.I wonder if that would have enough kick to cycle my semi-auto.

Looks like the only exception to NYS law requiring mags no greater than 10 rounds is a tubular magazine.
:think: I wonder if I could rig a coil of refrigeration tubing to feed a 10/22.
Something like this, only coiled

What is the importance of the cotton?Loading subsonics is an important skill set that may become more important in the coming months. So I thought I would give some here a leg up on how to do it.
1. For 7.62x51 and 5.56 ammo start with Trailboss Powder.
2. Use a small amount of cotton very lightly compressed under the bullet.
3. Never shoot your FIRST test loads with the suppressor attached to the barrel. Make sure your bullets are spin stabilized and cutting round holes in the target at 100 yards before attaching your suppressor.
4. Make sure that the high end of your velocity extreme spread is less than 1040 feet per second, so that you do not get a supersonic crack in cold weather.
So, if I understand correctly you are now even more limited than you were a few days ago.
Yep, we're only allowed seven bullets in a clip
So if I go out and buy a 10/22, I can't buy the factory ten round clip that comes with it because that's just become a "high capacity mag".
I haven't read a lot yet. Can you still have tube mags that are bigger. Or will the makers of tube fed. 22s have to make smaller tubes if they want to sell the gun in NY?
Did I read correctly that you won't be able to buy semi auto pistols with removable mags at all?
Looks like they had to pass this law before they could understand what was in it.
Just like BammyCare
Nobody seems to know what the law actually aplies to. There's already a a move to repeal it.
I think the libs will have a hard time battling guns themselves.
I think they will go after ammunition. Stricter laws...highter taxes...etc.
What good is a firearm if you can't fire it?
What is the importance of the cotton?
I have read a bit about loading sub sonic rounds for pistol calibers but I don't own a rifle bigger than a .22 so loading for titles has never been on my radar screen.
I can make all the ammo I will ever need!

The cotton, when lightly compressed, controls the position of the powder in the case relative to the primer, which allows for more consistent ignition which results in more consistent velocity.
