    That just seems like too much work. Just take the thing apart! Or keep it!

      Did you ask the selling FFL this question? It'd be interesting to see his response!

        After taking your money, it was his way of saying va fanculo.

        I once read a post from an out-of-state FFL on another site that stated he'd ship to "Kali" for 25 bucks extra, and take a ballpeen to the mags before shipment. I tried to do a little education and got told to go make in my hat.
        The way some gunshop clerks spout off, you'd think that they invented gunpowder and the repeating rifle, and sat on the Supreme Court as well.

          I believe you can sue him. Since the mag is legal here. He destroyed your property without your consent.

            It's a hicap. The local FFL cannot lawfully give him the mag, and is under no legal obligation to give it to him in parts as a rebuild kit.

            The OP has no legal recourse here.

                What on earth are you talking about?

                LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINES are illegal to import into California. .22LR has nothing to do with it, and the arbitrary number of "50" doesn't mean a damn thing.

                A large capacity magazine is defined as any magazine holding more than 10 rounds, regardless of caliber.

                  M47 Dragon... You are absolutely right. Me, Snelling, & one of his customers waiting to pick up his gun, just looked at the "3-piece mag" when I opened the case and was just speechless. The guy waiting said (under his breath), "S***! He cut up your mag!!". I just picked up the rifle and checked it out like it was no big deal and said, "the gun isn't as heavy as I remember" or something stupid like that. Bob didn't say a word but the look on his face said tons! Ha Ha. Driving back to the office all I could think was, "WTF was he thinkin'?".

                  About glueing it back together.... He didn't send the feed lips he cut off so that's definitely out of the question.

                  I sent the FFL an email but I'm still waiting. I'm not holding my breath either.

                  A friend did tell me something I hadn't thought of tho... Perhaps their definition of "disassembled" is different than mine. LOL

                            Assault weapons laws don't apply to rimfire, but the 10-rd limit applies to ALL detachable magazines (in addition to fixed magazines on centerfire).

                              Probably just a simple CYA move. if the FFL did not want to deal with the legalities of CA gun laws he did what was safest thing in his opinion.

                                That's just it. That wasn't the safest thing. The safest thing would have been to just keep the mag for himself. That's why I'm so baffled.
