After April 15, guns being sold in New York are limited to seven round magazines, meaning most of the pistols I oogle over in the latest issue of Guns and Ammo are unobtainable---simply because I live in New York. So I was wondering---can guns be shipped to New York without the magazines? Furthermore, can the magazines be sent to a third party in a free state for conversion to seven rounds, and then shipped to New York?
To be clear, here is what I envision: A NYS resident like myself buys a 16-round CZ75B from an online gun shop in Texas, for example. The gun gets shipped to my FFL in New York without the magazines, and transferred to me. In the meantime, I pay the extra shipping charges to ship the magazines to a gunsmith in Pennsylvania, where the smith modifies them to accept seven rounds, and ships them to me.
Is this legal? Do you think a dealer or gunsmith would have a problem with this?
