    High capacity mag question?

    I have a 30 rd. Ram-Line magazine for my Ruger 10/22 from 1988. When hi-cap mags became illegal in 2000, people that previously owned them could keep them (grandfathered).

    Since I'm not the best at keeping up with State politics, and all the proposed changes being discussed, I'm wondering if me owning this mag is illegal?

    Can someone enlighten me? I don't need to be chalking up a felony, because of ignorance.

      And when that POS ramline dies which it will.
      every ramline I ever owned was POS.

      You buy a new rebuild kit to replace it.

          Only legal if parts are interchangeable.

            Interesting. I've had this one for 25 years, and it works like a champ. Never one problem.

              Let me know how that works out for you in court after you spend 40k in legal fees and your freedom hangs in the balance.

                  Since you owned it before the ban, you can legally own it now. Positively.
                  My mother always told me to be careful what you ask for.

                  Just one more piece of parental advice I stupidly ignored.

                    Your question got answered in the first reply. If you don't believe that reply, go look through the CGF wiki for current magazine related laws.

                      Sounds like a bet. If that doesn't happen does he get a puppy?

                        Yes, it is currently legal for you to own.

                            As an aside, I believe the only ones they can prove are NOT pre-ban are the steel lipped ones since that model came out post-ban.

                              I know someone will correct me if I am wrong but AFAIK the only high-cap 10/22 mag that comes apart is the new (and obviously WAY post-ban) Ruger BX25s. All the rest are glued together from what I have seen.
