Default AR 20-30 rnd mags CA-legal

I have a friend who was cleaning out his garage and he found several boxes of shooting accessories which literally hadn't seen the light of day for 20-25 years-slings, old S&W pistol boxes, ammo[lots of ammo] and a couple of no longer CA-legal AR magazines.
What is my friend required to do with them , if anything ?

The mags are perfectly legal for him to keep and use. The law only bans him from selling/giving/ect to anyone in CA if left intact. Now on the other hand if they are disassembled, then there are no laws banning them. So he can do as he wishes, since he is dealing with parts only.

Very true!...And we'll see how much he'd be willing to sell some parts to me for.

If he is looking to sell the S&W boxes I'd be interested to know what he has

HAHAHA [ hear wild laughing] you guys are killing me, I mean my friend.
He will doubtless keep said mags, but this brings up another question; if I understand correctly it's not the owning per se but the acquiring / purchasing which is a no-no ?

Purely an academic question.

As was already said: It is perfectly fine to own the mags if they were posessed prior to 2000.

I assume he doesn't own an AR or that he didn't register one. He could build an OLL without the pistol grip, or use them for a Keltec or Remington or whatever uses AR mags now.
