I'd like to build an AK from a parts kit and a receiver flat.
I looked into this a few years ago, and I'm confident that I can do it.
I recently got the opportunity to buy a Romy parts kit for ridiculously cheap, and this has rekindled my interest.
Only problem is I live in NY, and I'm not sure about whether or not this is legal.
It seems that I may legally own an AK here as long as it meets the requirements of the AWB (the AWB did not sunset here )
All the reading I did on this was during the AWB, so I'm already familiar with the non-evil components and the US made parts requirement.
It would appear from the research I've done so far that there's nothing stopping me from doing this, but... well we all know what NY gun laws are like and I just wanted to double check before I pull the trigger on the parts kit (pun intended)
Also, I understood that I can own 'high capacity' 30 round magazines here, as long as they were manufactured before the ban, but for some reason, I can't find a single website that will ship a 30 round AK magazine to NY.
Is this just the dealers being over cautious, or am I wrong about being able to own pre-ban 30 round mags?
EDIT: I live in New York State, not NYC
