How can you tell if a magazine is preban or not?, because the gunstore sold me 2 preban 30 round magazines for my AK47, they assured me that they were preban and perfectly legal to own in NY but i cant tell and i dont know how the cops would be able to tell weather the mags were pre ban or not.

There isn't really a definite way to tell whether or not an AK47 mag is preban, if it's metal it most likely is.

yes they are both made out of metal, so this means i can legally own them in NYS and the cops wont give me a hard time if they catch me with them?

I didn't say that! There is no way, to my or most anyone else's knowledge, how to tell if an AK mag is preban. With that said I've never heard of anyone being hassled for an AK mag. You may get a cop that wants to hassle you about it.

It's pretty safe to say any com-bloc steel AK magazine is pre ban.


Will the cops give you a hard time? No idea.
