Todd, who lives “behind enemy lines”, built a 100% New York compliant AR-style rifle by building it without any gas system and so creating a manually operated bolt action rifle rather than a semi-automatic. It was inspired by the various bolt-action AR-15s sold in the United Kingdom. The parts list includes:

• Spikes lower
• KAK 18″ custom barrel with no gas port
• Lantac Dragon brake
• Young’s Manufacturing side charge bolt
• Mega side charge upper
• JP captured buffer spring to keep things ninja quiet
• RRA NM trigger
• Magpul MOE furniture
• Warne Skel Mount
• Bushnell 3200 10×40 Mil-Dot
• Diamondhead 15″ free-float rail

Todd says that the rifle shoots great. The bolt is easy to operate and the upper is kept clean because there is no gas system.
