Yup, I just tried Sprortsman's Guide, and they won't ship the original GI mags into NYS...
The mags are unmarked, so how in the heck to tell, otherwise, who knows? I have a son who lives in Ohio, and after (if) I receive one of these through him, it would be the same as the one one Kahr sent--specifically as part of a NY package--for which I have the receipt. I understand sellers' concern about legality, but notice they go overboard sometimes in their efforts to avoid liabilities. Technically, it is correct that a 30 shot stick from WWII era is pre-1994 ban, but they choose to wimp out and not sell because of the unmarked nature of them, thus avoiding any question whatsoever.
Gun shows in NY State are pretty few and far between; dang, I just missed one in Syracuse this weekend and have no idea when another will happen.

David,

Sounds like Ohio may be your best bet for a WWll mag. You are correct that there is no dating of manuf. on the mag, and some "official" in NYS could make things difficult if caught on a bad day, and wanted to prove a point. If there is a will, there is a way.....they say!!

Usually the larger gun shows list there dates and locations on the internet.
