Assuming you reside outside of California in a free state, I'd say that depends on your skill level. If you reside inside of California, Penal Code 32310 prohibits you to own a magazine holding more than 10 rounds, with few exceptions.

No you can not in California today, 4/3/2022

You are not repairing, you are manufacturing.

Remember some have the date cast into the plastic so saying you purchased during freedom week can be proven false.

Between the hours of Friday afternoon on March 29, and 5:00 P.M Friday, April 5, hundreds of thousands—if not millions—of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds were lawfully purchased by California gun owners. Referred to by many as “Freedom Week,” this was a direct result of a federal district court issuing a decision in the NRA and CRPA supported lawsuit titled Duncan v. Becerra, which permanently enjoined California from enforcing its restrictions against so-called “large-capacity” magazines.

I found this from another calgun post, but I am not sure if it's still vaild

Q6. Is there any limitation to the number of parts you can replace in a legally obtained hi-cap magazine? (‘Scenario. if on successive days I replace each individual part of a legally obtained hi-cap magazine, am I guilty of assembling a new hi-cap magazine once the final part is replaced?,)
A6: Whether the scenario you describe constitutes repairing or manufacturing a large capacity magazine depends upon the legal opinion of the prosecutor in the jurisdiction where the acts occur. There are 58 district attorneys ih California’s 58 counties. They could elect to prosecute you for a felony (Penal Code 12280(a)(2)), if they believed that you were manufacturing a large capacity magazine.

Q 7: If the magazine body is replaced with one clearly manufactured after 2000. . . is there any burden of proof upon a Calfornia resident that they did in fact replace a worn/obsolete part and did not illegally purchase/import a new hi-cap magazine.
A7: A California resident who repairs a large capacity magazine that was owned before January 1, 2000 does not have any “burden of proof’ that the magazine was repaired, rather than replaced with a new magazine. However, it would be prudent in such a case to keep records documenting the purchase of the part necessary for the repair in order to demonstrate that the large capacity magazine was repaired, not replaced.

Q8. Can you use parts designed for a 1O-round magazine to repair a legally obtained hi-cap magazine?
A8: If parts designed for a 10-round magazine are interchangeable with parts of a legally obtained large capacity magazine, there is no legal barrier to using them.

Q9: Can you have enough spare parts to assemble a new hi-cap magazine provided they are unassembled and intended for use as replacement parts?
A9: Whether the scenario you describe constitutes possession of magazine parts with the intent to manufacture or with the intent to repair a large capacity magazine depends upon the legal opinion of the prosecutor in the jurisdiction where the acts occur. You could be charged with a felony (Penal Code 12280(a)(2)), if a prosecutor believed that you were manufacturing a large capacity magazine.

That earlier Calguns thread, and the California DOJ Letter on which it was based, are both now completely worthless.

Please note that the DOJ letter was authored in 2005.

The current law prohibiting the manufacture of a Large Capacity Magazine, and defining that manufacture to include the swapping of magazine bodies went into effect in 2017.

You gotta be careful to stay up-to-date with this stuff.

Here's the law that prohibits removing them. Quoted from Penal Code section 537e:

"Any person who knowingly buys, sells, receives, disposes of, conceals, or has in his or her possession or any other distinguishing number or identification mark has been removed, defaced, covered, altered, or destroyed, is guilty of a public offense, punishable as follows..."

Please note that the date code is a "Distinguishing Marking" that identifies the date of manufacture.

Pro Mag and no one has mentioned what junk they are yet. Everyone is slipping. If the one you have has been working then count yourself as one of the lucky few.
