All firearms have to be compliant as-is in order to ship, packages will not be opened to remove or modify anything even where it might be potentially helpful just for legal reasons. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf If it were me I'd just get this one and add the night sights myself: https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/48956/h%26k+704501-a5+usp45+10%2b1+45acp+441%22+v1

I spoke to a Buds customer service rep who informed me that if the large capacity magazine is the ONLY issue that prevents one from buying a firearm, call Buds and ask them to remove the magazine from the box. The buyer can then purchase their own compliant magazine(s). Call Buds and request they remove the magazine(s) for you, so you can buy the firearm. Call 859-368-0371 (9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri) or use the "chat now" button located at the bottom right hand portion of your screen, (9am-9pm EST 7 days a week) That said, There are certain locations where firearms can not be shipped, even to FFL dealers: https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf#%5B%7B%22num%22%3A15%2C%22gen%22%3A0%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22XYZ%22%7D%2C33%2C728%2C0%5D

Dean, Buds usually does not open/alter new firearms packages including Magazines. I have heard from members that some Customer Service Reps have offered this so I would contact Buds to see whether they will or not at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

Dean, BUDs will pull magazines if the standard capacity magazine is only issue. In some states that is the case. But in NY no retailer can alter the package as it was shipped from manufacturer. So you have to get a compliant firearm restricted magazine and all. BUDs will not ship firearms to a third party to be modified or changed in any way from manufactured specifications or change it themselves. The firearm you purchase must be compliant AS IS from the manufacturer before we will ship.

We have been told that buds will ship with NO Magazine if that is the only reason that a gun is non- compliant you would need to Contact Buds customer service (859) 368-0371 available 9AM to 9PM CST Monday through Friday or use the blue chat now button and they will help you with the order . We are not buds employees we are volunteers that answer questions
