However I will say that is illegal and it is bad idea to do that.
AR15 Legally in NYC? Your only options are either an Ares SCR or an overpriced straight pull AR15 or pump action AR (assuming you consider that a AR15)
I've talked to a couple dealers in the area and read many accounts from NYC residents online, and it seems like the NYPD will refuse to register any sort of AR style rifle, EVEN if it is completely featureless/converted into a "not evil assault weapon" format because it still looks too scary.
However the Ares SCR is approved for some reason? Dunno why, people have successfully registered it in NYC so I dont know why it got an exception
I've read some accounts (though unconfirmed) that the NYPD would not register straight pull AR rifles because it looks scary and will still refuse to register it even if you explain it is not a semi auto. The people who run the gun registration desk literally do all their gun info searches off of wikipedia and google.
