I am looking at the barrel shrouds that are available and I am getting different opinions on the legality of them in NYS. Does anyone know for sure if they are legal or illegal here?

I found this dealing with New York firearms.

MISCELLANEOUS

It is unlawful to fire or discharge any gun, pistol, rifle, firing piece or other firearm in the city, except for certain premises designated by the Police.

Non-residents of New York City may apply for a rifle or shotgun permit subject to the same conditions, regulations, and requirements as residents of New York City.

It is unlawful to possess or dispose of an "assault weapon," which is defined as any semiautomatic rifle or shotgun which has one or more of the following features: folding or telescopic stock or no stock, conspicuously protruding pistol grip, bayonet mount, flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor, barrel shroud, grenade launcher, or modification of such features, or other features determined by the police commissioner to be suitable for military and not sporting purposes. The commissioner shall by rule designate specific semiautomatic rifles or shotguns as "assault weapons." "Assault weapon" also includes any revolving shotgun or part intended to convert a rifle or shotgun into an "assault weapon." "Assault weapon" shall not include any rifle or shotgun modified to render it permanently inoperative.

It is unlawful to alter, change, remove, disfigure, obliterate or deface the name of the maker, model, manufacturer's or serial number of a rifle, shotgun or assault weapon.

Try this link describes assault weapon regulations for NY.

OK so if I am reading this correctly as long as my barrel isn't threaded to accept a shroud then it should be OK? I already have the NYS compliant 10 round mags and the fixed stock.

yes ok !
