I'm in Central New Yorkistan. . . . .NOT the New Yorkistan City area. Beleive it or not, NYS laws aren't as bad as the NYC area laws are.
I'd like to buy a new Colt AR6720 Lightweight Carbine (would be my 1st choice) or maybe even one of their LE6920 Carbines, either a LE6920, LE6920MP-B or LE6920SOCOM Carbine. I like the LE6940 but would rather have a permanently fixed A2 front sight. I saw some of their new 2013 models, I'd like to see all of them before I'm ready to buy.
However, I need it to be "post-ban" compliant. Can a FFL order a new "pre-ban" carbine setup for me and then change it to a "post-ban" configuration? I need it to have a collapsible stock that's pinned or and most likely I'd just put a A2 stock on it, the bayonet lug needs to be removed, and the flash hider needs to be either removed or replaced with a permanently affixed muzzle brake or thread protector that makes the barrel at least 16 inches long. I don't need new magazines as I have a bunch of "pre-ban" USGI aluminum 30 rd. magazines.
Does anyone know if this can be done or if there are any large distributors/smiths that will make one "post-ban" compliant for me? Or will Colt make one "post-ban" compliant for me. I know they make California compliant models. However, I don't need the magazine setup that they need. If not, is their any way I could build my own "post-ban" compliant upper? I'd prefer to buy a complete carbine or at least a complete upper either factory made or made by a smith if possible.
I appreciate the help, NYH1.
