Adhesive for blocking magazines

[Screagle]

What adhesive is less strong than epoxy but keeps the block for the magazine in place?

Hello fellow gun owners.

You're looking at

16740.

As used in this part, “large-capacity magazine” means any ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, but shall not be construed to include any of the following:

(a) A feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it cannot accommodate more than 10 rounds.

CA has no guidance on what 'permanently' means, so whatever method you choose has some small risk.

See also https://www.magazineblocks.com/magento/faq, which describes the issue at more length.

Also note, such modification to a magazine must occur before the mag crosses the CA state line.

Honestly, I would just drive a blind rivet into it and call it a day. Arguably more "permanent" than glue.

Magpul sells 10/30s riveted, and they are running into no trouble importing them into California.

Try jbweld 3 minutes. It’s an epoxy but cracks more easily when you break it. So you can reverse easily without getting into CA concerns.

I see mags that aren’t glued or blocked by a wood even on eBay. I suppose the law isn’t that strictly enforced.
