Glock high cap mags (33 rd)

[heyjerr]

When were Glock's 33 round magazines produced? Are there production dates or info listed on them that LEO would use to determine if they are pre or post ban, or are they all pre?

[69Mach1]

Why? The 33 rounders have been produced since the Glock went into production. If you had them pre-2000 then you're fine. Rebuilding them with new bodies is OK too.

I have 3 bought back in 1997. They have not date codes stamped on them .

Why are you asking?

[bohoki]

the origional ones were not full metal lined they had the U notch

then they made full metal lined ones

the newest generation has the front catch groove for the ambi catch

More curiosity than anything else. I was wondering if I somehow managed to get a hold of another whether or not there would be proof that it was made after the cutoff.

it is legal to have replaced your magazine with new parts and people could still illegally import old magazines

so what proof could you possibly give except maybe an old picture of say yourself shaking someones hand while also holding your magazine that died before 2000?

no proof is required as the burden of proof is on the state

Markings on the magazine or not, it's legal to own high-capacity magazines, but do yourself the favor of not asking about managing to get high capacity magazines in addition to the ones you lawfully own online. This board is watched by DOJ and local PD.

Is there a link somehwere, or does someone know what year they changed to the fully metal lined magazines? A shooting buddy of mine purchased 15-20 various magazines at the same time he picked up two consecutive 2nd gen G17's way back when. Anyway, my point is we only get FTF's/FTE's when using the "plastic" mags and were curious when this change was made. He suspects the non-metal lined ones were used and worn out when he made the purchase. Thanks for any info, hope the question made sense.

Not sure if this pic will help.

Gen 1-4 are pre-'94 federal ban. Gen 1-3 are not full metal lined. [Gen 1 (1980-82?) Gen 2 (1982-?) Gen 3 (?)]Gen 4 are full metal lined (1992?-1994)
Gen 5-6 were during the '94 federal ban (1994-2004).
Gen 7-8 are post-'94 federal ban. Gen 7 (2004-2007). Gen 8 (current production)

There's a guy on Glock talk right now openly asking to purchase/trade preban 33rd mag- to be sent to a ban state. DO NOT be like him. By the way, BOF is all over this site ........

Be careful what you say. You're very very close to possibly admitting to breaking the law.

While you can legally acquire new ones, it's very hard to do unless you're LEO. Otherwise you're illegally importing or manufacturing. Or guilty of conspiracy with someone else for illegally "lending" or transferring.

Good thing I'm only asking questions about a hypothetical situation. I am, in no way, advocating anything other than lively conversation...you know, that First Amendment that's protected by the second one.

I just merely wanted to know how to identify the differences between pre and post ban and figured someone here would know the history.

This board is a great source of knowledge. I apologize if I did not word my question in a way to avoid sounding suspicious. Thank you all for your concern and continued guidance.

Yes, and it's a funny thing that we see this exact same response to the same replies to the same original question every month or so.

Not all of us read every post every single day. And the search function isn't always the best solution for those of us who don't spend our lives in here, but it was the first thing I tried.
