Just got the new American Rifleman and there's an ad for Rossi's new Mare's Leg.... Oh baby!
Don't think it's NY legal (would be too much fun I guess). I figure it will be illegal because of weight or someother kind of horsepuky

Your thoughts on legality?

Thanks

Is that the cut a dowm lever action rife if so it is but you have to have a pistol permit to get it

 

[zzrguy]

it consittered a pistol

 

[NRATC53]

If it is manufactured as a pistol, it doesn't need the authorization from BATFE that converting a rifle requires (as far as I know). If the barrel is less than 16" and doesn't have a shoulder stock it is a pistol, and shouldn't present a problem

No reason for it not to be NY legal, it's not a semi auto so weight isn't an issue.

Taurus was making them, but so over priced it wasn't even funny. (half the gun shouldn't cost 2-3 times the price). Now Rossi is making them at what seems to be a quite reasonable price. I sure don't need one but it sure is tempting. Not very practical but probably a good deal of fun. It fits within the price cap of "novelty guns" for me.

thanks for the info. 12inch barrel, stock cut off .... has got to be something. I would prefer a full stock but either way it's got me with my eyes popping out!

Here's one you won't see every day, a '76 mare's leg.

I doubt you'd want to shoot it more than one or two times.

Don't you miss all those great old actors?

Steve was one of the best.

Hey guys, I know this is an older post but just thought you might get a kick out of the Mare's Legs I made (in my computer) the first one is an 1894 Winchester and the other is an Hi-Point 995. My son-in-laws says I have too much time on my hands. what do you think.?

 

[Paté]

Bloomturd might put you in jail for just thinking about that!

BTW...you son-in-law is right.

 

[hoodfu]

The gun stores I've talked to about this won't get you one anymore because they say the State Police have deemed this a short barrel rifle even though no one outside NY state agrees with that assesment, including the ATF.

 

[hawkeye]

Legal in all states except NY.

Frank, I love these Zombie threads. They are awesome! Thanks for bringing back the dead.

No problem nightday I'm new here and it seems like I missed allot, while at least I got the hang of the date stamp thing and still not answering questions that were asked last year.

Well I always asked myself if they could have made the Hi-Point any uglier, here's the answer

Not knocking your art work but the gun itself
