.357 mag
Haven't seen much for reviews on this lower. Seems to have nice features and seems to be the safest way to go for NY. Unfortunately they are proud of it $$$.
Dark storm industry fixed mag, anyone own this?

Google Dark stain and see what they did a few years back.
Bag if dicks they are.

I have it. It’s not bad, it’s nice having most of the other features. Use it with one of the ejection port loaders and your good.

Yeah, I already have a lower with a cross armory fixed mag filled with jb weld. Just didn't finish building it. This just seems like a safer option in case some officer has a power Trip . Seems like they are the only option for a fixed mag lower. Probably fine with the one I have now though. Think I might drill and tap a hole behind the front take down pin and lock it with a set screw there as well.
Many options for fixing a magazine/compliance out there. None of which are officially “approved” by NYS law. Nor ever will be. Vague laws favor the state.
Pick which one you’re comfortable with and go with it. Lots of discussion threads on this forum.

Looking at options that seem safest and the DSI seemed like a good option. Too bad they seem sketchy
No need to fix a mag twice.

I wouldn’t give DSI a shit stained quarter! Those bastards have made SO much trouble for us the people and many LGS. Fuck em’.

Us on long island who still give a shit about integrity don't particularly like them. They tried making everything think only there option was legal.

So all this is just a lower with a set screw holding the mag in place for $200. Get a regular lower for $60 take it to your local gunsmith and have them drill and tap it or do it yourself. It will be cheaper and your not supporting a shit company.

Not saying you do but I wasn't around the gun world when all this stuff happened so I wasn't sure how far reaching it was.

I getcha. I was just pointing out some (many?) of us outside your stronghold are aware of what happened and still think they're dicks.

This lower also isn't milled for a mag catch or button. So it can't be argued that in a few minutes with tools it can be converted back. But doesn't sound like a company worth supporting.

Quite honestly, it isn't worth fixing a magazine. In the beginning it was worth it because all you had to do was buy one small device to fix what you already had until the laws got sorted up.
Now we know that they aren't going away. So what's the point? For looks? You are better off with a Ares SCR/ Fight lite lower that'll let you use a rifle as intended. The ability to change magazines is the most important feature of a semi auto rifle. Everything else is just an accessory.
Something like this (not mine) actually serves a purpose.

Went fixed because the featureless options I tried were not comfortable for me. Since it's just going to be for yotes mag changing isn't a big deal for me on this one . Will look into this setup more for the next one though, thanks. With that lower wouldn't the features still make it a assault weapon ( muzzle device and detachable mag) or do you still need a barrel without threads?Quite honestly, it isn't worth fixing a magazine.

Plain non-threaded barrel.
For coyote hunting (actually all hunting in NYS) you will need to fix a 5rd mag or a 10 rounder that has been fixed to hold no more then 6rds.

I have a 10 round pmag with the minus 5 insert
Just wanted to make sure you didn't overlook that! I myself had Mini 14's and then picked up a ARES SCR about a year and a half ago very happy with it.
Good luck with your build.

Hows the trigger on the area?
Mine was a gen-1 the trigger was not bad, I sent it back to ARES (Fightlite) for a free trigger upgrade seems a bit better. But like you I bought it for Yote's not target shooting. If I get a chance I will put the trigger gauge on it.
