You can google the NY state AWB info and get an actual legal definition of what you can and can't have, but I have read it several times, and referenced it multiple times both prior to, and during my ownership.
One thing that I want to tell you is that take the NY law seriously. The last thing you want is to loose your ability to own any firearm because you just had to have a collapsable stock or something. Some guy in NY just got charged with a felony because he ex-girlfriend called in that he had a high capacity Glock magazine in his house.
So here is the law:
You can't have more then three evil features on the gun in NY state, if you do it makes it an assault weapon. Since your AR has a pistol grip, the ability to remove/accept a high cap magazine, and a plastic/heat shielded fore grip you therefore can't have a flash hider, or a collapsable stock, or a bayonet lug, or a hood ornament, or a... (well you get the picture).
In order to make your gun compliant your FFL will have to have the muzzle break installed (and I have heard but am not sure it may need to be welded on, but this is word of mouth, and I have found nothing in the legal language stating this), and your stock will need to be pinned prior to you taking possession of the rifle. If you take possession of the rifle at any point prior to these two mods being done, you are breaking NY state law.
Also in regards to magazines:
1. NY state law prohibits that there be ANY Loaded magazine in any vehicle during transportation. This includes quads, boats, motorcycles, cars, and so on.
2. All AR mags must be no larger then a capacity of 10 rounds, or must be manufactured prior to 1994 (or pre-ban). There are various gun stores in NY state that you can buy pre-ban mags, but they are spendy as hell, gun shows are your best bet and they tend to range in price from 20 - 45 dollars a pieces.
Good luck, and welcome to the club.
