As you might have guessed, I live in New York State, and am looking for a NY-legal AK74. In the year or so since I've become a gun owner, I've poured over NY state laws time and again to ensure that I was following every law to the letter, and am well aware of what is/isn't legal as far as semi-automatic weapons in NY.
What I do have questions about, though, is the difficulty in acquiring a NY-legal AK74. How much would I expect to pay for something like that? Where should I look? I've seen a number of AK copies in a few dealers around where I live, but it's always the same case- in a store with hundreds of AR-15's and AR-style rifles, there might be one or two AK-style rifles, and usually not 'truly' an AK but just that, an "AK-style" rifle like a Saiga or Vepr or a PSL clone.
The other issue is the magazines. I've seen a lot of people commenting on the low availability of high-capacity pre-ban magazines, or complaining about how the only available mags are re-sold for a substantial markup.
Anybody know stuff about this? Anyone stuck in the same place?
