YES, you can modify it to meet NY restrictions. However, Buds will not sell this to NY residents period. Check NY restrictions HERE ( https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf ) I hope this helps
Richard, no Sir, not this model. It has several factors that would need modifying that would be very difficult/expensive and not practical. Numbers 1, 2, 6, 7 and 9 under Rifles here would have to be modified/replaced : https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf
You can modify just about anything to become legal, but is is worth it? Not on this gun, too many evil features, too much work.
It is not legal in New York, (folding stock, threaded barrel/ flash suppressor, 30rd magazine) and buds will not sell to NY residents where modification is necessary. "NEW YORK DISCLAIMER We will not ship firearms to a third party to be modified or changed in any way from manufactured specifications. The firearm you purchase must be compliant AS IS from the manufacturer before we will ship" (copy and paste from buds NY compliant page) I would check with master arms, they specialize in Ar/Ak that are NY compliant https://masterarmsllc.com/ ----------------------- Or you could try to find a compliant model in stock somewhere such as the Riley defense RAK-47-NY-C https://rileydefense.com/product/model-rak-47-c-ny/
