Just discovered Magpul Magblocks- question about epoxying mags

[Panchira!]

I agree with that vid 100%. Once you take it apart you have a parts kit. If you were to remove block and re assemble then you know your breaking the law. I know people say that pmags are cheap but let's say you have 10 then you would buy 10 for out of state use that's now over 290 bucks including 10 mag blocks. I honestly think some people over interpret the law a bit. I know a trial will cost more then that....

I keep all my 30 rounders as parts kits, and just use my 10 rounders for the range/BLM land stuff. Just so I don't get hassled by lots of people as this gets really annoying and I'm tired if explaining it to people when I'd rather be shootin

IIRC, riflegear epoxies the magblock to the spring so they can still be disassembled.

Just to be sure its clear, we do not use epoxy in our magazines. But I think someone does do this. Our method is more mechanical and less chemical.

[Fate]

I've often wondered if there is actually precedent for not having to epoxy/rivet/pin the magblocks: shotguns with rods or dowels in the tube magazine to limit legal capacity for hunting.

Decades before there was ever a question on how many rounds a semiauto centerfire rifle could legally hold, hunters have been limited to a capacity of 3 rounds in their shotguns for waterfowl. Most semiauto and pump action shotguns, though, can hold 5 shells (2 3/4", 1 in the chamber and 4 in the tube). So for hunting, they're sold with a plastic block in the end of the tube magazine. And in old guns, or for guys who've lost their block after a busy weekend of dove hunting (no limit on shell capacity) a section of wood dowel cut to fit works just fine.

The point is, game wardens have always accepted an installed block or dowel as an appropriate capacity limiter. Its not epoxied or riveted or pinned, its just sitting in there. It can easily be removed if you unscrew the tube cap. But its completely legal for waterfowl hunting shell capacity limits.

Wouldn't this be a valid basis for also limiting a rifle's magazine's capacity with a physical block? As has been mentioned before, owning 10+ round magazines isn't illegal, but assembling them is. So if anyone took out their Magblock and reassembled the magazine without it, that's the crime. But assembling & using it with a Magblock in, even without epoxy etc. follows the standard custom & practice done to limit capacity for hunting for generations.

Thanks for all the great responses guys. I guess I might as well go with 10 rounders for the range and just buy more rebuild kits to store.
