30 round mags

[side2side]

Would it be legal now to have a preban 30 round mag in a Bullet Button weapon, since Doj said it considers bullet buttons to be detachable and not fixed?

Parts kits were never banned (whatever a parts kit is), import and transfer was.

thanks for clarifying.

The law doesn't appear to forbid it, as far as anyone can tell, but so far nobody is confident enough to try it.

Sorry, you're wrong. DOJ does NOT consider BBed firearms to be "capable of accepting a detachable magazine" nor do they consider them "fixed magazines". In fact, no matter what "DOJ considers them to be", the written law is pretty clear that they are neither. Now, they are AWs in CA. The reason that we haven't been able to use +10 round mags in them before was to prevent creating an illegal AW by doing so. Since they are now considered AWs, by the letter of the law, it would be legal. However, I would not recommend it only because, I don't want to be the test case.

Grown folks

Lol how are those pre ban mags holding up after almost 20 years???

may have rebuilt their pre ban mags as needed.

I had a lot of pre-ban mags and the metal bodies wore out, replaced them with polymer P-mag bodies hoping they'll last longer. Unfortunately I had them on my boat that terrible day...

I have numerous 92F magazines from the 80s that I carried daily, shoot frequently, and have never replaced a single part since I got them. They still function flawlessly, even after thousands of rounds.

We were allowed to repair them, as long as we didn't create an additional "high" capacity magazine when doing so. We could legally replace every single part and essentially have a new magazine.

You can still repair them. You just can't buy "repair kits" that contains all the parts, because quite frankly, people were building new magazines and weren't able to keep their mouths shut. The antis read these forums and made the "kits" illegal. You can buy springs and followers which are the main parts that wear out. Base plates can be found for most mags but bodies are a little harder.

Oh, the horror. Now, if you would have left the metal bodies on them, they might show up on a metal detector.
