It’s unusual looking, but otherwise the same thing as the prohibited rifle.
Anyone who can disregard the esthetics will have to agree it is an AR-type rifle. I’d expect it shoots fine.
I suppose the gun grabbers in NY believe they’ve accomplished something profound.
All they did was ban the “assault style” attachments to the AR-15.
Remove them and you still have a legal stock semi-automatic rifle.
It just doesn’t look like a military-style weapon, that’s all.
Actually, the rifle pictured above is not the gun mentioned in the article, but if you consider the rifle shown, it’s a similar stock to say and M1A Thompson 45.
It actually violates one of the prime design features of the AR-15 in that the true AR-15 has a its stock axis exactly in line with the barrel bore. IOW, recoil is STRAIGHT back. Much easier to keep the rifle on target, etc.
When you lower the stock off that axis, the recoil tends to take an upward arc off target as rounds are fired.
The real NY Compliant AR shown later in the thread attempts to regain that design feature by hooking the stock back around the buffer tube but just barely gets there, I’d expect a slight muzzle rise due to recoil.
