Stag Arms To Design Connecticut-Legal AR-15 Rifle
FoxCT.com ^

Posted on 05/09/2013 12:53:39 PM PDT by matt04

Connecticut’s historic gun law signed by Governor Dannel Malloy went into effect last month, signed April 4, but the state is giving gun manufacturers and gun shops until June 1 to understand and apply the laws to their businesses.

Gun shop owners like Mark Malkowski, owner of Stag Arms, have said they should have been given more time to interpret it before it went to law. Stag Arms, producer of the AR-15 in Connecticut, said it was considering moving out of Connecticut when the new law passed because the gun cannot be sold here, only out of state.

The owner tells FoxCT he has a new idea now to build a Connecticut-legal version of an AR 15, designing three new guns, one with a different caliber than the original, and two that lack the now illegal features.

This Rifle that Stag Arms wants to sell in Connecticut is nothing more than a .22 Caliber Rim Fire Rifle.They want to sell that rifle for $900.00 Plus dollars.

As far as that go’s they can keep it. A Nine Hundred dollar 22 is not a very goof defence weapon so why buy it?

Stag Arms would have been better to Just leave Connecticut and Tell the Governor to do something that is physically impossible to do to himself.

I will Not buy a damned thing in Connecticut that is that handicapped to satisfy connecticut’s gun grabbers.

I’ll bet you also had as much free ammo as you could carry, didn’t you?

I carried 700 rounds...all free.

Well, I hope it didn’t have a bayonet lug. Killing people with a rifle with a bayonet lug on it is just plain mean.

I kind of think it would would be better payback, if financially feasible, to make the ‘in your face’ showing from across the border(s).

It would be better to move- and then do it. Staying there and trying to appease the commies won’t work.

I think you’re OK if you actually have the bayonet. It’s the lug that appears to distress people.

Then they will simply change the definitions again. You fight them, never placate them. They are wrong 100% of the time.

According to the article, they are developing 3. One is most likely a 22, but the others appear to be a .223. The new ct law doesn’t apply to rimfire, so a M&P15-22 is still legal, even with a pistol grip and a flash suppressor.

If they make a CT compliant rifle, that emboldens more states to pass such laws saying ‘see, it doesn’t infringe on your rights!’

CT will say ‘but the law didn’t work, we must pass more!’
