Not unless they are full auto or have short barrels less than 16" then ATF calls them short barreled rifles (SBR). Some states restrict magazine capacity like in NY. I think WW II style rifles like M1 Garand and 1903a3 Springfield wouldn't be a problem most any where. The original 30 caliber M-1 Carbine had a 15 round detachable box magazine then a 30 round mag was developed for the full auto M-2 Carbine. Some states that still have the assault weapon ban may restrict you from having a flash hider or collapseable stock on guns like AR 15. Best to check local laws before buying weapons referred to as assault weapon (AR-15 AK 47 style). True definition of an assault weapon is selective fire but congress does what ever they want to try and label something. Their ineptness just makes things that much more confusing for the honest citizen. Real criminals do whatever they want and disregard almost all laws and could care less whether their illegal machine gun has a flash hider or short barrel.
