High capacity mag question?
I have a 30 rd. Ram-Line magazine for my Ruger 10/22 from 1988. When hi-cap mags became illegal in 2000, people that previously owned them could keep them (grandfathered).
Since I'm not the best at keeping up with State politics, and all the proposed changes being discussed, I'm wondering if me owning this mag is illegal? Can someone enlighten me? I don't need to be chalking up a felony, because of ignorance. Last edited by Mike_Dee; 03-04-2013 at 8:36 AM.. |

And when that POS ramline dies which it will.
every ramline I ever owned was POS. You buy a new rebuild kit to replace it.

Only legal if parts are interchangeable.

Interesting. I've had this one for 25 years, and it works like a champ. Never one problem.

Let me know how that works out for you in court after you spend 40k in legal fees and your freedom hangs in the balance.

Your question got answered in the first reply. If you don't believe that reply, go look through the CGF wiki for current magazine related laws.

Sounds like a bet. If that doesn't happen does he get a puppy?

I know someone will correct me if I am wrong but AFAIK the only high-cap 10/22 mag that comes apart is the new (and obviously WAY post-ban) Ruger BX25s. All the rest are glued together from what I have seen.

Second, you can rebuild the plastic lip magazines with kits that have steel lips. Third, even though this isn't really a factor, there is a 3 year statute of limitations. They would have to prove that your manufactured or imported the magazine within the past 3 years, and since possession is not illegal the burden of proof is on the state. So? |

If you don't already own any, odds are you aren't going to be owning any. If you're asking if you can build them as 10/25's or whatever, yes you can.

For 25 year old colt mags that you didn't have, but have kool-aid? No, you can't buy rebuild kits and just assemble large capacity mags.

usage of a BX-25 in a rifle shouldn't be an issue. But, for a pistol, use of a BX-25 might create an AW depending on the pistol. And the magazine transfer laws apply to rimfire magazines as well (with some exemptions for tubular magazines, which a BX-25 is not).
