Legal Status of Deactivated Grenades - Page 2

I have a "NY Legal" grenade. It has the spoon and the pin, but no striker and sping, the fuse has been used, and the body has a 1/2" hole drilled in the base.

Now, could I make it work again? Sure. Just like I "could" build one from scratch. That would probably be simpler, easier, and safer... if I wanted to.

However, like RetVet stated, if the BATF wants to bust you, they'll bust you, and worry about the paperwork later. If they cut open your safe and steal one of your shotguns, well, who's to say the barrel was 20 inches, 18 inches, or 17-15/16 inches? If you had a hacksaw and file in the garage, you'd be so screwed!

Think about Ruby Ridge and Waco... Tell me the people who did that would be above tampering with evidence to cover their own behinds....
