This is the official site of the government that lists all the regulations. It depends on your terms of restrictive. Those people who owned a full auto firearm before 1978 have them grandfathered. Those that had AK's and handguns with barrels shorter than 4.14" prior to 1995 have them grandfathered. If you own firearms in those classes you can buy and sell at will. Unfortunately no one else can get in those classes. The AR 15 is in the same class as a Colt Python or a Colt Gov't Model, you just take an approved safety course and have no criminal record then you can go out and buy 1, 2, 3, or 300 if you want to.
As for magazines, for bolt action rifles and .22 no limit, for semi auto rifles 5 rds (except for the Garand), semi auto handguns 10 rds. Importing firearms today is the same for you as it is for me trying to bring guns into the US. If you got lots of time and are willing to jump through enormous hoops it can be done, along with a ton of paperwork. We still get lots of American hunters coming up here though, so it is being done.
