Crazy glue isn't permanent.
Neither is the plastic epoxy used by S&W to secure the pins in their blocked M&P 15-22 mags. I trust their lawyers have done their due diligence and epoxying a blocking mechanism is a pretty safe bet.
The real answer is “nobody knows”.
Only if it's. TuuuuBUlar! Lol''Large capacity feeding device'', (i) a fixed or detachable magazine, box, drum, feed strip or similar device capable of accepting, or that can be readily converted to accept, more than ten rounds of ammunition or more than five shotgun shells; or (ii) a large capacity ammunition feeding device as defined in the federal Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. section 921(a)(31) as appearing in such section on September 13, 1994. The term ''large capacity feeding device'' shall not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with,.22 caliber ammunition"
If I'm reading this right .22 is excluded from large capacity definition. Am I missing something?

Thank you. Permanency isn’t a requirement here.Readily; "without delay or difficulty; easily.'

BIG difference here - S&W gets in trouble and nobody goes to jail over it, they just pay a fine and move on.
Someone here gets in trouble over it and they're going to jail for a while, having an arrest on their record and all that entails, paying for lawyers, etc. even if they eventually beat the charge they're still f'd
Corporate lawyers determine what the cheapest option is they can probably get away with and how much it will cost them if they get caught. Its all about the level of risk and liability they're willing to accept vs the profit margin, not necessarily what complies 100% with the law. Its a bad idea to use that as a benchmark for your personal liability as John Q Public citizen since the rules are different for us.

The law only exempts .22LR tubular (Only) mags, nothing else. That said, yes there are other guns out there freely sold in MA that violates this law. If you get caught for any reason, you are f'd.JFC.
So, my lever action .38/357 Rossi is illegal in MA.
And my Mossberg 930 is illegal in MA.
Let's not even talk about my Glocks or AR-15's.

No it isn't. Why would you think that? The mag tube won't accept more than 10 rounds whether .357 or .38 are used.
I just went downstairs and got the carbine out of the safe. I grabbed a box of .38spcl that I loaded, (OAL = 1.438 on the one I checked), and loaded TWELVE into the tube. Used the lever action to chamber and ejected all 12.
Took out a box of Remington UMC factory .38spcl. OAL = 1.463; ELEVEN rounds fit into the tube. All chambered and ejected fine.
Rossi Puma .357 imported by Interarms; purchased 04/25/87 for 274.95 (plus 20.62 tax) from Arms & Munitions in Fairfield, CT.
Hey. Is it possible to get non compliant magazines (newer 30 round, for example) and make them compliant by permanently affixing magazine blocker with crazy glue / epoxy?
Yea. Just get some compliant mags.
Suppose I should go see if more than 10 wadcutters would fit into mine.
