Not sure if this has been answered before but my search turned up nothin so here is my question I already have some 50 rd magazines for my 10-22
but they are starting to show there age and are malfunctioning can i replace them with another 50 rd but from a different manufacture or due they have to be the same

You can repair your magazines using any parts you wish, including new parts. You can replace every part in the magazine if that is necessary to accomplish the repair. For more info, see this section of the FAQ: Repair and Rebuild

[J.D.Allen]

You can buy parts kits and rebuild them. You cannot import or manufacture new ones to replace them. And no one in CA is allowed to sell you new complete ones. Just parts kits.

Can I rebuild using "Clinton era" marked restricted for LEO/military mag bodies?

[CSACANNONEER]

You can repair your mags but, you can not "replace" them. It is easy to repair +10 round 10-22 mags with removable lips by using Tactical Inovations 25 round mag rebuild kits or 50 round promag drums. However, it's next to imposible to repair cheap eagle mags.

Sure, those markings don't mean anything anymore. I've repaired +10 round mags with dated mag bodies from 2007. That's 3 years after the LE/Military marking stopped.

It is however legal to export/re-import for purposes of repair.

I don't see why the law would prohibit you from driving to Arizona, tossing your broken mags into the trash, and re-importing the new replacement magazines. As long as you didn't import more than you started with.

The exemption is for re-importing a "large-capacity magazine previously lawfully possessed in the state." I don't see an exemption for importing replacement magazines. Replacing and repairing are two different things.

But who is to know? I am playing the Devils Advocate

You will, of course... Scene: the DOJ visits your home:

I smiled, -- for what had I to fear? I bade the gentlemen welcome. I took my visitors all over the house. I bade them search -- search well. I led them, at length, to my chamber. I showed them my treasures, secure, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs into the room, and desired them here to rest from their fatigues, while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect triumph, placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which reposed the suspect objects.

The officers were satisfied. My MANNER had convinced them. I was singularly at ease. They sat and while I answered cheerily, they chatted of familiar things. But, ere long, I felt myself getting pale and wished them gone. My head ached, and I fancied a ringing in my ears; but still they sat, and still chatted. The ringing became more distinct : I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling: but it continued and gained definitiveness -- until, at length, I found that the noise was NOT within my ears.

No doubt I now grew VERY pale; but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased -- and what could I do? It was A LOW, DULL, QUICK SOUND -- MUCH SUCH A SOUND AS A WATCH MAKES WHEN ENVELOPED IN COTTON. I gasped for breath, and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly, more vehemently but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why WOULD they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men, but the noise steadily increased. O God! what COULD I do? I foamed -- I raved -- I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder -- louder -- louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly , and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God! -- no, no? They heard! -- they suspected! -- they KNEW! -- they were making a mockery of my horror! -- this I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! -- and now -- again -- hark! louder! louder! louder! LOUDER! --

"Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! -- tear up the planks! -- here, here! -- it is the illegal large-capacity magazines rubbing together!"

He was a wonderful writer. This one is very good, but I still prefer "The Purloined Letter".

I see a new career (screenwriting) in your future. Maybe head over to MoviePoet.com and practice in the monthly contests. The reviewers are pretty friendly and AFAIK there is no rule against guns as props or government officials as villains.
