Quoted: so i asked TAPCO if it is legal for me to have these mags in new york state, and they said it was perfectly legal.
i was told on here that they are ILLEGAL in new york state.
so whats the truth? am i gonna get into trouble here?

You should know your state laws. NY has a AWB that mirrored the Federal AWB with one exception, no expiration date.
So, since these mags are made a long time after Sept of 1994 they are illegal for you to own in the state of NY.
This is the same reason why you cant have the evil features (lug, Flash hider) on your AR's.

Well I understand the preban / postban thing, and I understand that magazines in NY have to be made before sept 1994...BUT
NOWHERE on the TAPCO site does it say that these magazines are "new production" or "postban" or "made after 1994." it DOES say that they can not ship to CA, NJ, HI etc. but nothing about NY...the site only has that italic section that explains the federal assault weapon ban has sunset but that all local laws are still in effect, which does not refer to the magazines being preban or postban at all.
AND I talked to TAPCO and they said it was legal...so...
if they send me POSTBAN magazines that are supposed to be PREBAN and legal in NY, it would not be my fault. I ordered these according to their website.
it would be like someone ordering a BB gun online, and the store accidentally sending you a full auto MAC-10...so...because i was unaware of the magazines being post ban, i would not be "knowingly in possession of them", and if they reach my house, and I send it back immdeiately without opening the package, i can not get into trouble.
am i correct on this matter? i believe so.
