Once again my newby-ness shows through:

Is it possible to trade in all my pre-ban 20-30 round [email protected] mag bodies for PMI's, Ruger's, Pro-Mag's if they are willing to do it. My aftermarket mags are semi-reliable, sometimes standing the last round or two straight up in the mag.

Just a thought.

Well you can ask, but I don't think you will get any takers on that trade.

No company I've heard of trade-in mags. You can get new springs and followers, at Brownells, but not bodies, as they would have to be pre-ban. The body is the Mag!

Another place to try is pawn shops, sometimes they have extra Ruger mags, but don't know what they really have.

wrong! hi-cap mag bodies are LEGAL as a replacement parts as long as no new hi-caps are made, thus they are sold for glocks, why more companies don't do this i don't know

It seems that nobody is making new "standard capacity" mags for any guns.
(I have heard about the Glocks, but nobody else.)
PMI is out of business, and I don't think Ruger ever sold hi-caps to civilians. (For the rifles.)

Just after the ban went into effect, I sent a defective 10/22 30rd mag back to Ramline.
I got two 15rd mags in the mail.
I was steamed.
When I called, they said that legally they could have sent me one 10rd, because of the ban, so I should be happy.

Glock, on the other hand, refurbed some police trade-in mags that I got, for free!
(I called first and said "If in send in my 15rd mags to get refurbed, you won't send back 10rd mags in their place will you?"
The gunsmith laughed like I was nuts. )

This issue is just starting to surface and I am afraid that the BATF&E will stomp on this. Replacement mag bodies are available, and technically you are not to have any more mags (unless you buy complete ones) in your possession total if you use the mag bodies for repair purposes (cracked feed lips, dented bodies, etc.) than you had before you acquired the replacement bodies (talk about a run-on sentence)....I repaired a USGI mag this way because the feed lips cracked, and the rebuild kits were only $5--I saved the mag body just in case.
It's the states where std. capacity mags are banned outright where this could become a BATF&E issue-and ruin it for the rest of us.

Tapco had some brand new 20rd Fn-fal mag bodies for $7each..absolutely legal for sale to Kommunist kalifornia. was also another vendor in Arizona selling 30rd AR15 mag bodies for $18each

hope this helps

Hmmm. Maybe Madson could be talked into making some real good 20 and 30 round mag 'bodies' to use as replacements for defective mags by other makes. Madson could make a real good buck that way. Some of those cheep aftermarket mags that don't work, well just trade them to Madson (Madson would have to destroy them, but that would be ok, right?)

Deaf Smith, if you meant John Mason there, it is extremely doubtful he/they would...

I don't see why they wouldn't all the major brands do like para ordance.

oh well hopefully the AWB will expire.
