I have a fellow who wants me to ship disassembled 20rd M14 mags to him as a "kit". Where he is going to have them riveted to be 10 rounders. I cant figure out if this is legal or not. Help a brother out?

It's a gray area, but one you shouldn't feel uncomfortable about: It's up to the buyer to make sure they become compliant, and without the follower, spring, and floorplate it's just a metal box.
NY is really two different States:  You have the shit-hole South of Albany, then 2-3 hundred miles of State North and West of there that's being held hostage....think Charlotte vs Hendersonville.

"Intent" is an arbitrary term.
Send the parts, and worry not.

The NY law is about possession, not sale. The onus lies with the person in NY.

You can send him anything you want, its his responsibility to make sure he is compliant.

the law is bullcrap
if you send him parts they are parts
what he does with them is on him.
you did not break any laws buy sending him parts

I could order every single part from PSA to build a complete AR-15 and they would legally ship it to me. As long as when assembled it did not meet the state's arbitrary definition of an assault rifle I would be breaking no law. I could fix the mag in the lower prior to assembling all of the other "evil" features.

By the same logic you could have all of the parts for a magazine but when you assemble it you pin it to 10 rounds or less and no laws were ever broken.

I would ship the parts and never think of it again. It is on the buyer to assemble them in a legal manner.

It's not a gray area at all for the recipient.
