AR-15 in NYS

[Tom C]

Does anyone know whether or not AR-15's are legal in NYS. (I know that there is a 10-round mag limit for all guns.)

The reason I ask is that this source makes it sound like they're illegal
http://www.nysrpa.org/nygunlaws.htm

An "assault weapon" means...(d) any of the weapons, or functioning frames or receivers of such weapons, or copies or duplicates of such weapons, in any caliber, known as...(iv) Colt Ar-15

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Might wanna check out the state specific section.

There is some good info for your state in there, and people that live in NY. You might get a better response.

also check http://ar15.com. It is a sight much like this one but mostly devoted to the AR15 and it's clones.

I can't be specific off the top of my head, but you can own an AR15 in NYS. Magazines are limitied to ten round capacity, except those made before the Clinton AWB. If you have the old ones, you can use them. If you want to hunt with it, you need a 5 shot magazine.
