"high cap mags" threads

[RollingCode3]

looking for some g17 mags, can anyone confirm that CDNN will disassemble mags for legal sale to CA, or do they fall under the "NO HI-CAPS TO CA" camp.

Even if it has the 17rnd mags can he take them apart and ship it to my FFL???

How obvious can you get?

[Cyc Wid It]

Yeah I don't get it either. If you have them, great, if you don't oh well deal with it - it's not terribly complicated. It comes up periodically, not sure why.

Maybe it's none of your business. People are going to do whatever they want to do regardless of what the law is, and regardless of how much people b**ch and complain. Not trying to be a jerk, and I'm sorry if you took offense, but seriously, this thread is almost as bad as the weekly "I saw someone with an illegal AR at the range today."

[jak77]

People trying to justify going out and getting hicaps. Unfortunatly the law is so muddled that it probably isn't too hard.

lmao, when i scrolled down the main page, the title of this thread was cut off to only say "high cap mags..."

i thought to myself, "oh jeez, not another one...."

whew.

[FailedAngrMgmt]

maybe they wanted to stock up for a shooting trip in arizona? some 30 round ar-15 madness sounds like a good time to me

Wrong answer. This forum is not to be used to help the commission of a crime.

When it's posted, it involves the forum and thus is my business.

For those who like to belong to a law-abiding gun forum and don't want it tarnished by thinly veiled plots to commit crimes, it becomes their business, too.

That glock mag is just ridiculous...lol Maybe they'll make one so you can actually rest the mag on the ground to steady your aim

I'm one of those chumps. While I agree that the law is absurd, and that we should be able to purchase them freely (and that the law provides for this, but other policy and enforcement issues prevent it), I don't agree with people talking about commiting these crimes here on the board.

However, I do feel that asking an FFL to dissassemble a mag to give you a parts kit SHOULD be fair game, just like asking them any other reasonable question. They have a right to say no, and you can just deal with it. If they feel squeemish because of the law, they have the right to refuse service to anyone, so they're covered.

If you're going to be messing with hi-caps... please know the legality of your actions.

I've always thought that those 33 rounders (or 31 sometimes) looked kinda funny, yet awesome, sticking out the bottom of a glock. I've also wanted to try a double fisted grip (off hand gripping the mag itself) to see how stable it would be. Do they make a wraparound grip for extended mags like that? lol.

The novelty of them wears off pretty quick, especially when you go shooting with them at the range. Unless you need to carry the extra capacity daily, use it for competition all the time, or just want something available for HD that will most likely (and hopefully) will not be used, I don't really see the point of needing to have them. This coming from somebody who has a nice collection of pre-ban mags, most of which I never use anymore.

But I will agree with the OP.... it's pretty obvious what some people's intentions are when they make certain posts on here.

Nobody said anything about committing a crime. The only threads I have seen regarding these issues have been discussions about how to follow the law, or how to do something legal. It is perfectly legal to import rebuild kits, as we all know, so how is that thinly veiled? If you are claiming to know that someone is importing rebuild kits to break the law, or is intending to do something else illegal with high cap magazines, unless they SAY that is what they are doing, you are claiming to see into their hearts. And that is wrong.

As Leelaw said, it is every bit our business. Especially when you guys insist on posting about it and it's completely obvious that they're not legal. Once a week there's a "look what I found in a box in my garage" thread, and most of the time those are just poorly veiled attempts to show off newly purchased hicaps. It may be your business, but it is illegal, and it goes against the core principles of this forum. It's also obnoxious.

If some of you guys want to break the law because you're too lazy to reload, fine, but stop posting about it here. And you guys that have them legally, awesome, congratulations, but you should be over it by now. We don't need daily threads devoted specifically to your mags.

LOL. Claiming to see into their hearts. Not so much. When we're talking about 18-24 year old guys posting threads to show off their hicap AR mags and high cap pistol mags for things like XDs that didn't exist before the magazine ban... there is no need to be able to see into someone's heart to understand that they broke the law.

Really? Never seen one lately. In fact I can't remember seeing one at all. At least not in the handguns section. As for the rest of your response, it is just absurd. If someone is posting about the LEGAL activity of importing rebuild kits, then they are beyond reproach in this regard. I'm not sure what you guys want. Do you want people to stop posting asking where they can get rebuild kits? A legal activity in the state of California? Are you trying to make it "defacto" illegal? Understand, I'm not talking about doing something that, although illegal, is unlikely to be prosecuted. That is still wrong. I am talking about something entirely legal. And so are you. So until someone comes out and says they are doing something illegal you have no grounds to complain that they are a detriment to the community here.

I especially like it when I see people saying that their dad bought them a bunch of pre-ban mags when they were 8 years old
