Just Curious

I am seeing online retailers / sellers selling re build magazine kits. What is the purpose? Is it to have "parts" for an existing hi-cap magazine? Aren't these rebuild kits pretty much disassembled magazines? Maybe I am clarifying my own curiosity but if I bought a rebuild kit and used a spring to fix an old magazine, it's totally legal. If I bought a rebuild kit and put it together and loaded it with ammo and used it (in the range), then I can be put in Federal Prison for a long time?

You are correct!

Parts are not a magazine. No law prohibits the repair of a magazine.

Most are convrted into 10-rounders that look like 20 or 30 rounders

You don't even have to load it and use it. Manufacture (putting it together) is enough to commit a crime.

It's a way (for now) to skirt around the stupid high cap mag law. I really am sure these 30 round mags are all being rebuilt as 10 rounders.

Thanks for the replies. There's always a way around things. Amazing.
