Can I sell old 15-rd Handgun and 30-rd AR-15 magazines in the marketplace section?

[transsol]

I know this post may belong to the gun accessories marketplace forum but I have a question first.

I have some original 9mmP 15-round magazines for a S&W model 3906 and a few Colt brand 30-round .223 magazines for the AR-15 that I would like to sell. I have had these magazines in my safe for almost 20-25 years and have never used them.

But I am not sure if it is legal to even sell them, since I have heard about, but I am not familiar with the details of the high-capacity magazine ban in CA.

Can you guys enlighten me?

Thanks.

No. You cannot. Just keep them or move to another state and offload them elsewhere.

Edit: Someone will probably tell you you can sell them as parts kits, which is true. They may be sold as unassembled parts to replace aging parts in existing pre-ban magazines.

You cannot sell those magazines in California without commiting a felony. You can take them out of state and sell them.

couldn't he just take them apart and sell them as rebuilds ????

Yes you cannot sell the assembled magazines. If you want to sell them, take them apart and sell them legally as rebuild kits to your hearts content.

You may not sell, offer for sale, give, lend, and some others, complete high-capacity magazines in CA. You may, however, sell all the parts to a magazine as a "kit" to rebuild old magazines.

You can't sell them together, but if you want, it is legal to take them apart and sell the pieces. Those who already legally own those magazines can buy the pieces as spare parts to replace damaged parts.

I just thought of something. Is it legal to sell a complete magazine to somebody from out of California? Technically he would be selling a high capacity feeding device in the state, even though it's being shipped out of state.

By the way OP, I'm out of state, how much for the Colt AR mags, and how many do you have?

Can I sell it from CA to another state?

Ok,... that's a good question... Can I sell it from CA to another state?

Suppose someone in AZ or TX wants to buy them, can I ship them to the buyer there, even though I live in CA and I would be shipping it out of state?


(I just want to sell them, I don't care what state.)


Thanks,

but why would anybody from AZ or TX want a high cap from CA.. lol they can go to walmart and buy them.

While DOJ would probably tell you that it's OK, the law does not allow for it. It is plain illegal to sell, offer for sale, import into the state or manufacture +10 round magazines.

If I'm not mistaken, you could sell them to a LEO, or would that be considered an illegal sale because op isn't an ffl with high-cap certification?

Either way, legal high caps are a thing of envy around here, I would personally just keep 'em.

I;LL TAKE IT!!!

Again, DOJ may say that this is OK but, if you don't have a high cap mag permit, it is illegal to sell them or offer them for sale period. So, play it safe and only sell them when you are physically out of state or sell them as rebuid kits.

[transsol]

selling them as kits?

Ok,... got it. I will sell them as "rebuildable kits" then,... however stupid this sounds, (I mean what's the purpose of this ban then?)


Do I take these magazines apart and price each item separately, then ship them separately, or can I ship all the disassembled parts together in one box?, or what?
What would be the best way and still stay legal all the way?

Thanks
