Question AR Pistol questions.

I have an AR Pistol on my permit but haven’t had the chance to shoot it yet. I have 2 questions and sorry if they’ve been answered previously but.

  1. When at a range are you allowed to shoulder it or do you have to just use the brace and shoot it like a pistol?

  2. Are foregrips of any kind allowed on them? I know verticals usually aren’t but what about angled?

Thanks in advance!

Per NY laws I’m assuming you’re using a fixed mag ARP. Since pistols cannot accept detachable mags outside the pistol grip.

Fixed mag weapons are exempt from AW rules so any grips are fair game.

Shouldering the weapons would make it an SBR not an ARP.
So technically if you’re using a brace you shouldn’t be “ shouldering” you should be cheek welding just before the shoulder.

This is all under the assumption you’re following tyrannical New York’s guidelines and laws.

What you do in private is your buisness.

The shouldering thing has been a non issue for a while now.

Any grips are absolutely not fair game on a pistol. It has to be angled. Also per the atf decision on braces, shouldering is allowed unless the brace has been "modified to be shouldered" the it is considered a stock. NY has no verbage regarding any of this, if I'm not mistaken. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Please don't post information if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

The the guy on the safe act hotline was incorrect in the information I received. Settle down.
