No, this isnt the usual question about fixing the mag

I was wondering if anybody had a link to the definition of permanently attached mag from the DOJ? thanks.

Are you speaking of their approval letter with the Evans modified colt or bushmaster or maybe the shoeless ventures FAB 10 approval letter ?

[PanzerAce]

nah, im just looking for where it says that perm attached means that you need to use a tool to remove it. Also, I think I saw a really well written FAQ about what a pistol grip is, any body have that? (I am asking cause a LEO friend is willing to help me and my friend build our rifles so long as we stay legal, just wanted some papers to show him.)

(a) "detachable magazine" means any ammunition feeding device that can be removed readily from the firearm with neither without disassembly of the firearm action nor or the use of a tool(s) being required. For the purpose of this definition, a A bullet or ammunition cartridge is not considered a tool. Ammunition feeding device includes any belted or linked ammunition, but does not include clips, en bloc clips, or stripper clips that load cartridges into the magazine;

(d) "pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon" means a grip that allows for a pistol style grasp in which the web of the trigger hand (between the thumb and index finger) can be placed below the top of the exposed portion of the trigger while firing.

I haven't been able to find anything in the law that says a mag must be permanent and they also have not defined permanent.

[PanzerAce]

As you can see, while they have defined what "detachable magazine" means, they have not defined what "permanently attached" means.

That would mean, by default, that anything that's not "detachable" is "permanently attached," wouldn't it? :P

No, just that it is not detachable.
