Can I make my own 10/30's out of Rebuild kits???

[Infidel]

Like the title says, is there anything illegal about ordering the C-Products Hi-Cap mag repair kits from WWW.LAKSUPPLY.COM and making my own 10/20 or 10/30? The reason I ask is that I have the C-products 10/30 that LanWorld sells and it looks like all they did was take a Cold Chisel and a Hammer, and punch out a spot on one side of the mag body therefore not allowing the follower to pass the tab thats been punched into the inside of the mag. If its legal I would love to buy a $15 rebuild kit and use my own tools and 5 mins of my time than spend $30 for someone else to do it.

I actually though about this 2 days ago, i though BRILLIANT i dont think anybody has though about this before just buy rebuild kits and fix them to hold 10rounds myself..but the questions is how to do it

[sigsauer887]

Yes, just make sure it's permanent and doesn't hold more than 10 rounds.

PS - Put your flame suit on your gonna need it

[emc002]

If you didn't own normal capacity magazines before the ban, you have nothing to repair, hence it'd be illegal.
If OTOH you did own them before the ban...

[bohoki]

where in the law does it say it has to be permanant it just cannot hold more than 10 rounds

reading the law it seems to refer to converting large capacity magazines

since repair kits are not "large capacity" magazines (or importing them would be illegal) if they are assembled to only hold 10

of course these are just my opinions using logic which seldom applies to the law

Why would this be illegal I'm not ordering an assembled hi cap just the body/parts.

Additionally once it is assembled it will be a 10 magazine. I fail to see why unless someone can show me where in the law this is illegal.


BTW
Before anyone gets out their Flame Thrower, I did a search on this subject and there were posts about it, but as far as I can tell the question has never been answered unequivocally YES or NO

whats your gameplan on how you're going to modify a 30 rd tube to hold 10???

Punch method, rivet, epoxy, or a cut down???

I think it would easier just to pay a little more and buy a 10/30 from a vendor.

[Infidel]

Most likely either a punch/cold chisel, or a pop rivet. I'm not opposed to other methods I simply chose these methods because I own the tools to use them.

Well you are paying $30 through LanWorld for a 10/30 that has been punched and could be reversed in 2 mins. All I'm saying is why should I pay $30 for something that I could pay $15 for, that literally took them 30 secs to do modify.

Hmm, your words not mine. WTF are you "repairing"?

[Dirtbiker]

My understanding is you can manufacture you own 10 round magazines.
There is nothing illegal about buying repair kits even if you did not own high cap mags before the ban. However, it IS illegal to manufacture a high cap mag from repair kits unless you are repairing legally (pre 2000) owned hi cap mags.

Clear as mud right?

[Infidel]

I'm not repairing anything. Here let me change the questions.

Question# 1
Can I legally posess a hi-cap mag repair kit if I do not already own a preban Hi-Cap Mag?

Question# 2 (only if question one is legal)
If I Legally possess a Hi-Cap mag repair kit can I manufacture a CALIFORNIA LEGAL 10/30 mag out of it?

[aplinker]

This has been asked dozens of times. Did you try search first?

You can buy magazine parts of any type for any legal purpose, including making 10rd mags. There's no issue. You don't need to own pre-ban large capacity mags. Parts are simply parts, until they're assembled into a legal (10rd or less) or illegal magazine.

Pop-rivets + epoxy, filling with epoxy, epoxy on a plate or bending tabs (I wouldn't do this with an aluminum magazine) are methods that have been used. I would actually suggest rivet + epoxy has some legal basis and a plate epoxied in would be the most durable and easiest.

Many, many people have done this.

yes to both

[tgun]

Maybe he's stocking up on repair kits in case the ban gets repealed. Then he could go buy some 30 rounders and he would have all of the parts to repair them if they broke.

Thanks DirtBiker it seems very clear to me.
