As far as I know, hi cap pre-ban mags are legal in New York. I know I've seen 20 round M14 mags and 30 round M16 mags for sale in a large Albany gun store. CheaperThanDirt.com has no limitations listed on shipping them to NY.
Things are much different in New York City. Don't know all the restrictions, but I've read that getting a permit for just a target rifle is an involved and expensive procedure. Other counties and localities may have further restrictions, and there are always local cops who have their own bogus interpretations of the law.
I'm no lawyer, but here's the definition of a "large capacity ammunition feeding device", which IS illegal, from
assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?cl=82&a=68, Article 265 of the New York penal code, "Firearms and Other Dangerous Weapons":
"Large capacity ammunition feeding device" means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device, manufactured after September thirteenth, nineteen hundred ninety-four, that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than ten rounds of ammunition; provided, however, that such term does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.
