how are you guys blocking mags?

[beerman]

I just ordered a mess from "Mag-Block" for my M1A and M1 Carbine mags. I intend to install them in my mags , but not permanently (no welding, epoxy or rivets). I believe this to be legal come July....What are ya'll doing/using?

What does permanent mean?

What does permanent mean?

It means I'm just slipping off the floor plate and installing the mag block.... I'm not intending to make the blocks un-removable. From what I've read, this will be legal under the new laws taking effect in July. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I use these for magazine blocks. They hold up well and tend to fit a decent amount. They are not stack able though.

Is it a good idea to do anything right now until the regulations are released?

[bruss01]

The DOJ never issued any recommendations on magazine capacity until this past month... they were out a few weeks, then they rescinded the regs.

Even then, the regs were pretty vague, citing examples of things they certainly consider acceptable, but failing to get very precise on what was the minimum acceptable configuration.

I have always believed that a blocked magazine should function in every way as a non-blocked magazine, except at a reduced capacity. In line with this thinking, I permanently epoxy the spring to the magazine block. Using the parts present, it is impossible to manufacture a large capacity magazine. At the very least you would have to start breaking the block, cutting the spring, or something, at which point you are manufacturing which is prohibited.

I don't believe in epoxying/riveting the floorplate in place. This is contrary to being able to properly clean and maintain the magazine for reliable function.

This issue has never been explicitly addressed by DOJ BOF because they want to create an atmosphere where gun owners are going above and beyond the letter of the law.

This is now a high capacity thread because it contains more than 10 posts, mods please help and delete some so that we can keep it at or below 10.
Thank you.

Perfect - in keeping with the spirit of the law - or is that the letter of the law - I am confused
