Application / Regulation advice Backland hunter magwell

Hey guys looking for information before purchasing anything. Iv been eyeing the backland hunter and am wondering about the legality of filing the magwell to fit stanag mags. I understand this is Reddit and not a lawyer. But to my understanding of the law, the gun is classified by its action. And filing the magwell does not change this. The firearm uses crypto mags which are known for being bad. I got into a debate with a local firearm store about the mod I seen on gunnuts and am wondering if by doing so I’m putting myself at risk. TIA

It's probably going to be prohibited in six months anyways. So worst case scenario, you're just getting ahead of the game.
