QUESTION REGARDING REBUILDING OLD HIGH CAPS

[dondo]

I over heard at Turners today a guy talking about buying rebuild kits and NOT having any old high cap mags. I was going to but in but found before I opened my beautiful pouty full lips that I do not know what I am talking about when it comes to this. Is it legal for someone to have mag rebuild kits but no high cap mags? Thanks in advance sweethearts!
P.S. Even if its legal, talking about it in public I thought was rather stupid, although , it pales in comparison to the other stupid things I have heard there in days past.

Yes, it's legal. But, 58 DAs may have different opinions.

legal . . yes. . .
Smart to talk about or build them, no.

NO and YES

Yes legal to posess the parts
NO illegal to put them together into functioning mags.

here is an off topic question. i recently got into an argument with a sacramento county sheriff about weather or not i can own magazines that are marked for law enforcement or military only. im 99% sure that i can, just want to be 100%.

Yes, now that a number of rebuild kits are coming in from other states with that crap stamped on them, and assuming that you did have previous full capacity mags, they are legal.

I now have two Sig 229 12 rounders that say "LEO/Mil Only" that are rebuilds for these total POS no brand ones I had bought in the buying frenzy of the late '90s. I kept the crushed parts from the old ones just in case as I'm sure most officers are still unaware of this process.

Back to the original question, yes it is legal to own parts, but given our political climate, it's not the safest thing to do if you don't have legally owned mags to justify having them. No, you shouldn't have to justify it, but this is Kalifornia!
