Brandon already suggested that not too long ago.Quit worrying.
Next year, the plan is to lower the limit to 8.
Aloha, Mark
Pretty sure the law deals only with detachable magazinesDon't fail to consider the tube mag on your shotgun. If more than 10 short shotshells can be crammed in, it's contraband.
The listed exceptions only includes .22lr And lever action tubular magazines or magazines permanently altered now and forever to hold 10 rounds. Their definition includes fixed magazines, belts, couplers in addition to detachable magazines.Pretty sure the law deals only with detachable magazines
Seems that way. PS90 mags are the same way. 10 rounders can become 50 rounders in about 60 seconds.Well I guess 10 round mags are a trap.
It really depends on how the authorities define "readily". That will be different in different jurisdictions.Not all mags can be modified to normal capacity. Some can fairly easily, but not all. IE., glock mags have internal ribs that run the full length of the mag to reduce internal space. There is no practical way to make them anything but what they are.
Others use detents or pins to reduce capacity. Those can fairly easily be returned to standard capacity mags. It just depends on the limiter method being employed by the MFG.
PS90's take far more than 60 seconds, to do them right, but that style of limiter is indeed another method reliably returnable to full cap.
Easiest... don't waste your money on reduced cap mags to begin with.
Generally speaking,They hold eleven rounds without modification so...
And make sure the receipt is entered in as evidence at the trial.Generally speaking,
- they are marked on the packaging as 10-round mags, yes?
- your receipt identifies the purchase as 10-round, right?
Any complaints should be directed to the manufacturer of the magazine; you are justified in relying on product descriptions as accurate, if there is no evidence of deceit.
.gov might try to compel a recall of such mags, but it is not your fault they might barely squeeze in an extra round.
Here's what section 11 (1) (d) says:"TRUE for non 22LR non-lever actions"
I believe this is false. Tubular magazines on lever actions are exempted regardless of cartridge type
You are 100% correct, I misread part of a sentence you wrote.Here's what section 11 (1) (d) says:
(d) "Large-capacity magazine" means a fixed or detachable magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, helical feeding device, or similar device, including any such device joined or coupled with another in any manner, or a kit with such parts, that has an overall capacity of, or that can be readily restored, changed, or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition and allows a shooter to keep firing without having to pause to reload, but does not include any of the following:
(A) An ammunition feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it is not capable, now or in the future, of accepting more than 10 rounds of ammunition;
(B) An attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with 0.22 caliber rimfire ammunition; or (C) A tubular ammunition feeding device that is contained in a lever-action firearm.
The exceptions listed are tube fed 22LRs (no limitation as to action) and tube fed "lever action firearm". So, that way the law could be read is that any non-lever action tube fed firearm (except for 22LR caliber) is NOT exempted from the law if the tube capacity is over 10.
That's just my take.
Cheers.
Sad, but it doesn't say that the tube has to be run parallel with the barrel. I am thinking a tube shaped 25rnd magazine that plugs into 10/22 mag port and attaches with screw might be interesting. It would not be pratical but might meet the requirement of the exemption.Here's another deal - my Ruger 10/22 mag couplers are now illegal.

So, I can run my 15-round Henry H001 lever action, but NOT 20 rounds in these two 10-round mags with a Tandem Kross coupler. Crazy, I tell ya.
I would ignore it. But I don't want to lose very expensive guns. Go to jail. I don't have the cash to get me out of trouble. I would be the example!!
Nope. And tubular magazines are excepted by capacity only on LEVER ACTION firearms and 22 rimfire firearmsPretty sure the law deals only with detachable magazines
I love my Beowulf, I use 30rd stainless 556 mags as they come to single stack 10rds of Beowulf.I do not see how these metal 10rd mags can fit more than 10 rounds of 5.56.....
However I do see how .50 Beowulf or. 458 SOCOM ammo can make a standard "30 rd 5.56 " AR mag fit 10 rounds
