New York Magazine Capacity Limit

New York Penal Law section 265.00(23) defines a large-capacity ammunition feeding device and includes a device that can be readily restored or converted above 10 rounds. The definition excludes attached .22-caliber tubular devices and certain antique-firearm devices.

The current compiled definition uses a 10-round device threshold. Transaction, possession, and loading questions should be analyzed under the current code rather than older summaries that use a seven-round shorthand.

There is no federal magazine capacity limit; the 1994 federal assault weapons ban expired in 2004.

Scope: Detachable magazine round-count restrictions for handguns and long guns. States not listed have no capacity limit.
