I'm ALmost sure I know answer but would like to confirm, Is it illegal to posses 1903 safety switches in my home? I know certain parts are illegal to have if you don't have A FFL but would 1903 safety switches fall under that category? Any help with this would be appreciated thanks.

Unless you include your location, we cannot offer an answer to your question. For most of the United States, 1903 safeties are legal to own. Regards, Clark -
Ok I get it now. If I lived In the United States it will be no problem for me to own them but if I live in another country such as N.Y.C or L.A. than it would be illegal to own,,Comment

It is a part that locks the gun so it can Not fire a projectile, Maybe i'm using the wrong term safety switch safety lock?Comment

To own a safety by itself is not prohibited anywhere in the USA. It's not a receiver, barrel or trigger housing. A small part for a bolt action is not a problem for you. Most people won't even know what it is looking at it.Comment

The only gun parts that are "illegal" versus 'regulated' would be parts to make a gun full auto. I know of no state where it is 'illegal' to own gun parts, except those I mentioned. Not sure about CA. NY or some of those other states that outlaw a class of weapons, then the receivers of those may be.Last edited by dave; 07-24-2015, 09:27.You can never go home again.Comment

Even here in CA, one legally can own as many complete M1903s as one wishes. Therefore parts are not a concern. Just don't die in a parked car and have the polizei discover them in your home!Comment

Why would you think the safety lock or its assembly for a bolt action rifle might be illegal to possess?
An FFL doesn't allow you to own anything that is not legal to own in your State either.Spelling and grammar count!Comment

The safety switch for 1903 springfield is highly illegal. You should take that part an turn it in to the police for registration. They will probably confiscate it for your own safety.Make sure you don't tell them about the upper barrel band for the 1903 as that is the part with the bayonet lug. Lots of scary parts on that gun. Be safe.Comment

It's not a matter of being a joke, it's the day and age we live in that one can't always be sure what is legal and what isn't. Sad commentary.

For those that want to know why im asking I did have a handful confiscated from me by the NYPD and threatened that they will be used against me in the court of law if I do not go along with the program. I wanted to laugh at them and explain to them the law but they are not the brightest people around and sickeningly dumb if you ask me. I was also worried if they told me that what else are they capable of doing as their stupidity seems to have no limit. I did not question in fear of them putting something in my home that would really get me in trouble so i just let them think they had something big. They did enter my home claiming to look for a family member of mine which is still unclear of why but apparently they had the right to enter my home. Talk about breaking constitutional rights, Thanks Bloomberg (former mayor of NYC)Last edited by mr.j; 08-16-2015, 07:19.Comment

Mr j. I understand your problem. I left the northeast during the early 80's. I'm so happy not living there. Having lived in Texas and now in Florida for 28 years. I've seen changes here. Too many liberal New Yorkers think they know better than everyone. They say we should be like New York with their gun laws!! If I where you I'd leave New York. I don't understand why anyone would stay there. Or why any group doesn't challenge Bloomberg's unconstitutional laws.Comment
