Unobtanium Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 I understand they were not built then. But there is no law in california saying when I rebuild my 30 round pre-ban mags that I cant use a Pmag body, spring, follower or what ever. So what 99% of us californians that do know the law just rebuild our mag with Pmag parts. I think that one of us is confused then, because it sounds to me like you are assembling a magazine and not re'building it. A re-build involves the same (pre-ban) mag-body. An assembly involves all-new parts, which is what you are telling me you are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beleive this is true for NY as well, and it's something I've been looking into ... 44Mag offers to send any mag disassembled as a parts rebuild kit ... http://www.44mag.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RK I'm pretty sure so long as you legally have old preban mags, you can replace them with new "rebuild kits". It's retarded, but a nice loophole that potentially allows us to get new pmags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what 99% of us californians that do know the law just rebuild our mag with Pmag parts. Ahhhh, another interpetation of the law that is self serving. If you are not covered by one of the exemptions (see some of them below) ... If you did not possess a large-capacity magazine in California before January 1, 2000, you may not have it now If the gun (and its matching magazines) did not exist before January 1, 2000, you shouldn't have large-capacity magazines for it now (e.g. Springfield XD, first marketed in 2002 [as distinct from the 1999 HS2000]. You shouldn't be prosecuted for possession/use, but the timing can't be explained A contrary example: a legally possessed in California pre-1994 Para-Ordnance magazine may fit a post-2000 Para pistol - the gun didn't exist before 2000, but a magazine that fits the gun did -- This is a gray area, you may have this one - no logical contradiction.) No one in or out of California may transfer a large-capacity magazine to a non-LEO California resident The relevant Penal Code is 12020(a)(2) Prohibited actions: manufacture or cause to be manufactured import into the state keep for sale offer or expose for sale give lend Note that it is not prohibited to own a large-capacity magazine possess a large-capacity magazine use a large-capacity magazine, in whatever gun* repair a legally possessed large-capacity magazine (and, necessarily, to acquire the parts to make the repair -- remember it only makes sense to buy parts kits for existing legally-possessed large-capacity magazines) (* Old magazine, new-ish magazine, old gun, new gun - all irrelevant; remember also the 10-round limit on fixed magazine OLL, a different law.) Large-capacity magazines manufactured during the now-defunct Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device ban of 1994-2004 were marked 'Law Enforcement Only'. There are reasons one might legally have possessed them in California before 2000, but it is also legal to have the magazine bodies as repair parts for your other magazines. There are exceptions in 12020(b), (b)(19)-(32) notably (23) The importation of a large-capacity magazine by a person who lawfully possessed the large-capacity magazine in the state prior to January 1, 2000, lawfully took it out of the state, and is returning to the state with the large-capacity magazine previously lawfully possessed in the state. (b)(19) exempts LE agencies (b)(20) exempts LEOs (b)(21) exempts CA-licensed FFLs (b)(22) exempts loans so long as the lender stays nearby (b)(27), (b)(28) and (b)(29) exempt "entities that operate armored vehicle businesses" who buy large-capacity magazines, lend them to their employees or receive them back The crux of this is INTENT and common sense, replacing a magazine body with a PMag body will probably not fly as a repair...

Mg Way to much mis info bro. For one where do you come up with the idea that a mag has to match a gun? that is the sillyest thing ever. I didnt even bother to read any of the rest. other than your very last sentance. Show me where it says I can not use a Pmag body to fix my pre ban mag.

Duggan Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Look ... it's clearly a grey area ... a deterrent that will be effective against 95% of the general population. I, however, fit into that 5% of people that is willing to push limits and ask questions, and face potential consequences. I know firsthand, for one thing, that law enforcement in my state knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about preban vs postban magazines ... I've dealt with state police, local police, sheriffs etc and none of them had any CLUE about how to tell a mag was preban vs postban ... they all were just worried about the number on the gun, and making sure it was unloaded. As a college grad student looking to go to law school, who has quite a few cop friends who would vouch for my character, I am really not worried about getting screwed over by some overzealous ATF agent who wants to interpret intentionally vague laws in ways that will hurt me ... ****, worst case scenario I make a lawsuit against the state defending my rightful action under the law via the parts rebuild clause, and we finally get some clarity from the guys behind the bench. As always when it comes to law breaking ... if you generally shoot straight and don't make yourself a target, you will likely be fine if you step into a grey area, as you will be given the benefit of the doubt ... while if you shoot up a school, expect that every gun/round you own will be confiscated, and they will throw every charge they possibly can at you. From taking many law classes, you learn that the law works in funny ways ... and that the law as it's seemingly written on paper means very little, while interpretation and situational enforcement mean everything. That said, all my mags are currently old as **** preban mags, as I am still considering whether or not this pmag and glock upgrade is worth the potential red tape ...

I agree with everything you said execpt the first line this is not a grey area at least not for California read # 7 in the link I posted.

cksh8me Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Wow call the cut man somebody is bleeding. Some pretty good info and clears up the rebuilding of mags for CA. You could still get arrested and spend some $$$ to get out of it but it looks like a winner. After all losses by law enforcement on the OLL front I would think the DA would hesitate to take this one to court. It would be even more of a loser if you had a pre ban registered AW/pistol. It's your money spend it how you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are at the range or what ever I doubt anyone messes with you. Now there is alway some Rambo Grasso cop that might TRY to do something but will loose in the end. You are from California you should check out calguns.net They have some very smart people over there. They even have a team of laywers defending our gun rights.

Your hi-jack has nothing to do with me finding or not finding my handle. All is good. The people who have these handles obviously aren't giving them up even at the $85-100 price-range. It is tempting to kinda be a dick if I get a dozen or so of these handles. Being as they are the last dozen of their kind, I could pretty much ask what I wanted for them and in a few months they would all be gone. Tempting. meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
