Is a FN49 safe act legal?

[Plater1]

The mag is non-detachable too. Similar to this one:

The magazine is detachable but the spring and follower are not captured so I'd guess it's similar to the SKS.
If I could find an FFL to do the transfer, I'd consider one.

C&R only $30

Why wouldn't an FFL do the transfer?

Good to go as far as I’ve heard, finding one is a different story

Most are afraid of retaliation

NY laws have people scared.
A local gun shop wouldn't transfer a CMP M1 Garand because "The CMP is not a legal FFL" - and the CMP won't ship to a C&R because of the SAFE Act.

My go to guy passed away a while back and when I finally found another that guy moved away.
I'm looking for another go to guy again.

I've heard of crap like this as well.

Some versions of the FN49 have muzzle devices, others do not. Some have detachable magazines, some are fixed. The rifle was produced in numerous configurations and calibers depending on the market a particular rile was produced for donyou would have to keep tabs on that.
The Swedish Ljungman AG 42 rifle is another traditional style semi auto battle rifle that is NYS legal. It has a detectable 10 round magazine but no muzzle device nor pistol grip.

6.5 Swede is hard to come by now days though, other than expensive hunting ammo.

It's just like this one in the gunbroker auction, although in much better condition. Funny you should mention the Ljungman, i used to have one. I liked it even though the action was just plain weird but it did shoot fine.

I've heard so much BS from FFLs.

One had a buddy convinced that while you could legally build a compliant rifle from an 80% receiver, you couldn't take it to a range.

Only the Egyptian FN49 is legal in NY state. All other FN49's are illegal. That magazine body does detach but it will not be able to hold any ammunition unless it is connected into the rifle so it would be considered a fixed mag.

Yeah, i was just double checking. I have an Egyptian model and was concerned about selling it here in NY. As far as @Podmonkey question. i've noticed the 7mm versions have a flash hider/compensators on them and i'm not sure about the 7.62 versions. I have seen one 7.62 version with a detachable 20rnd mag.

Should be good in NYS then. The only hangup with the FN49 would be the presencw of a muzzle device, nothing else about the design that would hang a NY buyer up.

All FN49's have threaded barrels but with a fixed mag, you can have any features you want. All other FN49's have a detachable magazine so you would not allow to have any threaded barrels.
