    AK mag bodies

    Might be a dumb question just thought I would ask. Tried Googling but couldn't find an answer. Are we able to get mag bodies shipped to California? Need to fix a couple mags.
    Thanks

      Really? We can still buy Springs, floor plates and followers.

      No one yet has the balls to try and sell mag bodies alone however.

        I know rebuild kits were banned but want sure about parts particularly the body.

            Calgunswiki says this:

            "Can I repair my old large-capacity magazines with new parts?
            Yes. Existing (old) magazines may be repaired with new parts."

            According to that statement, you can legally repair a legally owned magazine in CA. Now you have one important questions to get an answer for - is a mag body considered a "part" or something else?

            I believe it is a part. It seems the most likely part to be damaged. But Im not a lawyer.

            Second step - can you get a vendor to ship a body here?

            Assuming you can, there is no legal precedent that I am aware of that confirms or denies a "body" as a "part". Just be aware that travelling uncharted waters is a risky proposition.

              mag bodies aren't banned...just the combo of mag body, followers, springs, floor plates = hence rebuild kits

                Thanks for the replies. I emailed the seller to see if they are willing to ship since California scares a lot of people away.
