[BlakeLok]

Please list some good websites that sell complete AR upper receivers to NY, MA, and other restrictive states.

Thanks guys.

Plenty of them. I’ve had good luck with Joe Bob Outfitters and palmetto state armory.

Wow cheap!!!

I've bought and sold a fair number of Bear Creek Arsenal Uppers, and while they are shunned by some, I've had relatively no problem with them out of the box.
Personally I prefer their Side Charging uppers, even though years of Training used a rear charging and forward assist.

Primary Arms - check the clearance section for deep discounts.

PSA, PA, BCA, and many others will sell complete uppers. It's the stripped/full lower portion that you need to worry about where your FFL gets involved.

just remember that AG James has extorted the customer mailing lists from all of these companies and will know what you ordered before it is delivered

I have all of my stuff that is 'questionable but legal' under NYS law shipped out of state. Unenforceable. This way, if I am questioned while NYS, it's legal but they will wonder where I got it from. There is nothing illegal about out of state purchases (yet).

Always a huge selection at the Syracuse gun show coming up in April.

You can own any upper you want, with any evil feature you want legally.

Constructive intent is a thing to be understood, but by itself, an upper in any configuration is legal.

One of the biggest issues is getting one without a threaded barrel or with the flash hider separate/not installed so you can put a threaded cap in place before assembly on your lower in NYS.

You can find these pretty easy if that’s your intent and the route you want to go. I cent remember the name but I was buying them for my builds out of a veteran owned place in North Carolina cheaply a while back. I wish I could remember the name.

There are several ways to "permanently" attach a Thread Protector that are ATF approved and while there's not much said in NY Law about what constitutes such, NYSP Labs tend to follow the long established Federal Guidelines, which really only come into play IF the Rifle is seized and sent in for evaluation. Silver Solder is one of the best, and if you know someone that does HVAC chances are they'll have a remnant of a stick (stuff is very expensive) they could do it, surfaces must be spotlessly clean...Blind Pinning is easy enough especially of you have a Drill Press; Drill into the nut, through the threads, but NOT all the way through to the other side, drive the appropriate pin into the hole, trim the excess, and for added measure should you desire, hit it with a spot weld, 'course you could also spot weld that "Thread protector nut" to the barrel.
Turning the threads off does the job, but invariably that step looks like shit, and if it's a 16" carbine barrel you really can't shorten it and still be a legal Rifle.
MIGHT be able to call the supplier and ask them if they have unthreaded or can skip that step for you. I say that because BCA makes their own barrels (I think)

It’s really not that hard to find one without threads. There are a lot of states that ban this these days.

 

[Zerex]

Buy an 18", and shorten it to 17", removing the threaded section.

Or just buy a threadless 16" to 20" barrel, an upper and screw together.

Many suppliers no longer ship to NYS. Be legal...............An AW conviction lasts forever.

I don't doubt that, but none of the people I typically buy from offer one, and I have the means and machinery to modify them.

Selection yes, huge I don't think so.
We'll be there in the Cattle Barn over by "Northeast Reloading" (guys from Jersey that sell all the bullets and ammo)
When Surluk came over from Ohio they used to bring racks of uppers and display cases full of USGI Parts, but they gave NY the FOAD too.
