10/20 and 10/30 mags

[Tactical Fred]

Will we still be able to buy these after 12/31/13 ? Or is it only the rebuild kits that will be banded ? Sorry if this has been asked before.Don't seem to remember

[Teeko]

Yeah I'm wondering how this will play out too...

[Carlow202]

Correct me if I'm wrong... you should still be able to purchase 10/20 and 10/30 mags. Rebuild kits are what is affected by the new bill.

Permanently altered/modifed 10 round magazines will still be legal to import/make/transfer (buy/sell/loan/give/etc)/possess.

Large capacity magazine parts kits will not be legal to import/transfer (buy/sell/loan/give/etc).

so with this new bill in place is there going to be a way to fix our existing pre-ban mags? Does one part of a normal capacity magazine constitute a "rebuild kit" or does it have to be a full magazine disassembled and together to be considered a "rebuild kit" banned in this bill?

You can keep your existing rebuild kits, but its unknown if you can leave the state, assemble them, then disassemble them before returning with them.

Nothing else has changed with regard to ownership or "permanent" modification. The only thing that has changed is buying/importing/selling them.

Ever pulled 10 rounders out of a mag pouch? On top of that, 10rd mags are a PITA to pull out in case of a jam.
