In New York, the sale of AR-15 rifles is heavily regulated due to strict gun laws. They are classified as assault weapons, which are generally banned for civilian purchase. However, individuals may find certain models that comply with state regulations at licensed gun shops, but the options are limited, and buyers must meet specific requirements, including background checks and permits. Always check local laws and regulations before attempting to purchase.

Where can you buy an AR15 in California?
If you look at the website linked below, it says it is illegal in California.

While the above answer is correct, the law is not without loopholes. The California Department of Justice has a list of banned manufacturers - it is still legal to buy and own an AR-15 style rifle in California if the lower is an off-list lower.
Then, there are further stipulations. Since 1989, California has had a so-called "assault weapons ban". If a detachable magazine centrefire rifle has any of the following features, it is classified as a so-called "assault weapon" under California law:
- Pronounced pistol grip
- Barrel shroud
- Flash suppressor (muzzle brakes are legal, though)
- Collapsible or folding buttstock
- Vertical forward grip (this includes Magpul's Angled Fore Grip)
So, you have one of two options: if you want the "evil" features, you need to go with a "bullet button" magazine release, which will get the firearm classified as a fixed magazine rifle. The capacity of the magazine may not exceed ten rounds.
If you want a detachable magazine rifle, then it must be made featureless (i.e., none of the above features). There's a couple companies which make California-legal AR-15 buttstocks... the U-15 is one, and there are others. California's magazine laws state a ten round limit. While there are loopholes in that law, they are a bit complicated and long winded, and I'd recommend you go to the California Rifles website and forum for further clarification on that matter.
How do you disassemble an ar 15?
To disassemble an AR-15, first ensure the firearm is unloaded and remove the magazine. Next, push the takedown pin and pivot pin to separate the upper and lower receivers. After that, you can remove the bolt carrier group by pulling it out of the upper receiver and then disassemble it further if needed. Finally, you can remove the handguard, stock, and other components as desired for cleaning or maintenance.
Can 22LR bullets be reloaded on AR-15 brass?
Sure, it's possible, but ultimately pointless. The .22 LR is a much shorter projectile than a 5.56 or .223 projectile, and if you tried running such a cartridge through a 5.56 or .223 chamber, you wouldn't get proper headspacing from it. The end result would most likely be a catastrophic failure of the weapon which could injure or kill the firer or others.
What is the difference between an AR-15 and a Mini-14?
The AR-15 uses a direct impingement operating system, whereas the Mini 14 uses a gas piston system based on the M14 rifle.

Potentially, they could be. The AR-15 is available in the calibre .223/5.56 The M16 is the military nomenclature for a particular model of AR-15, and is only available in 5.56x45 chambering as a semi or a fully automatic.
Is the AR-15 only semi-automatic?
AR-15 is a manufacturer's designation. When Armalite designated the rifle the AR-15, both fully automatic and semi auto only rifles were dubbed as such. M16 is a military nomenclature.
Now, the AR-15 rifles you can buy at your local gun store without having to obtain an NFA Class III permit - those are semi auto only.
How much will a ffl firearms dealer charge to order an ar15 from the manufacturer?
