    If they are plastic mags you can epoxy the blocks in yourself easy.

    If they are Metal mags use JB Weld steel embedded epoxy.

    Someone can correct me if I am wrong but converting high cap mags to legal mags in CA must be permanent.

    Pinning the block in would be to easy to remove and would not meet the standard.

    BUT

    then again I could be wrong but I might not be, but there is the chance I am

    of course normally I am not, but again I really have not done mag conversion in a long time so maybe I forgot.

    BUT I am not that old and my memory is pretty good, but then again I do have my senior moments .....

          I was in North County Firearms a while back; they sell 30 round pmags converted to 10. According to the person behind the counter there is no degree of permanance required, but they put a drop of super glue on the floorplate just to keep the customer from removing the block and then claiming "I bought it like this at North County Firearms"

            Pop rivet mag blocks @ 10 rounds meets LEO scrutiny.
            There is no legal definition or code for what is considered permanent

            Today, we are ecstatic to announce that Lunde Studio acquired Exile Machine. Exile Machine is another forerunner in the gun industry, boasting 10 years of substantial professional experience.

              I thought this guy did a good job of explaining and showing the conversion.
