Caution about buying Magazines at Mass Gun Show

[jdubois]

Recently i was at a shop south of boston that was selling C-products mags new for $40.

Yeah, you're not the first person here to notice that place doing that. Buyer beware.

You know i could almost look past them selling no-no mags if they were selling them for $12, then its a case of "to good to be true" but to make a profit like that is pretty shitty.

So it's ok for them to sell felonies, as long as it's a cheap felony?

I agree they misrepresent their merchandise. Gun vendors won't be the
first and the last to do this, though.

I know there is a twisted logic to my statement. I just feel it's not right to F$%^ us twice.

O.K....I looked on the side of the 30 round magazine and it looks like it says IWI and it looks like it has a crown type symbol on the top of the W. That's the only other marking on it except for the X090 on the other side. Anyone recognize the manufacturer?

 

[GL523]

Actually...I just found it. I guess IWI is "Israeli Weapon Industries". Now I just need to find out what the X090 signifies.

Recently I was a gun shop in the suburbs that was selling used GI mags for $40. That really pissed me off.

What if i were to put this on a pre-ban mag http://dynamicarmament.com/items/ar...wers-cproducts-gry-gen-iii-mag-kit-detail.htm
would that then make it illegal?

I guess my point is how would you then know the difference between a new unmarked c-products mag and a new looking pre-ban mag with the c-products replacement kit?

The CProducts bodies are different enough from a mil spec body for some people to tell, according to some on the AR15.com forum. The ribs, etc are placed slightly differently than on a mil mag.

I got a couple dumb questions...since I'm not an AR owner I haven't stayed in close touch with the pre and post ban magazine issue. Do all the post ban magazines have date stamps in the same location? Since the federal ban is off the books is it required to maintain the date stamp and military/law enforcement references on post ban magazines? Are manufacturers still required to make newly made magazines distinguishable from pre ban magazines? Also, if you inadvertantly come into possession of a post ban mag can you put a block under the follower to make it a legal 10 round magazine?

a lot of new ar mags dont have date stamps which makes it difficult or impossible to distinguish from pre-ban.

Basically, you have to do a lot of research to make sure that it's not a felony to own it.
