Standard capacity magazines...

[nanerclip]

What parts of a pre ban "high capacity" magazine can be swopped out with new production parts? I'm guessing the follower/floor plate; but what about the spring and body?

Interesting question.

At some point, if you replace enough parts, you have a new old pre-ban magazine. (A happy result, eh?)

Unless you have some secret, cheap, source, finding pre-ban standard capacity mag bodies may be almost as expensive as buying a whole pre-ban mag from some place like www.glocktalk.com or www.gunbroker.com

I was always led to believe that under Federal Law (when the ban was in effect) you could replace all parts.

Has Massachusetts ever spoken on the subject?

You can find new AR mag bodies with no markings.C-products is one place that sells them here

I am not advocating anything,just passing info along

I found some 30 rd AR mags up at Kittery. They are Bushmasters, but I dont know how to date them. Neither did the salesman.

For legal purposes, what is assumed with a mag that can't be dated?

Thanks.

Note: I DID NOT PURCHASE THESE MAGS!

Every post ban bushmaster mag I've ever seen has been dated on the body. Best bet is to stick to C-Products mag bodies as replacements. No C-Products bodies are dated...

Under the old Federal ban, it was the governments problem to prove that the mag was illegal. Who knows what would happen if this ever became a problem in MA, but as far as I know, no one has ever been prosecuted/indicted, let alone convicted of an assault weapon ban violation in MA.

The potential problem you could have with C-Products in MA is they weren't around until recently. There are no preban C-Product mags in existence.
