How to convert 30rd mag to 10rds ?

[freddy]

I have numerous 30 round Lancer L5AWM mags out of state. How can they be blocked to 10 rounds to be NY compliant, and yet returned to 30rds when I move to a free state?

Any case law yet on "readily restored" magazines?

 

[Phauxtoe]

a metal plate and some rivets?
Maybe even trim the spring too?

 

[GOYABEAN]

probably cheaper to buy 10rd mags while behind enemy lines and sell them off before you go over the wire

I agree withbthe above. Keep your 30 rounders where they are and buy some NY compliant ones. Lancer offers 10/30 and 10/20 mags in addition to their 10 rounders

The above doesn't look like a permanent modification though

Okay. I still think the OP would be best served by getting some NY compliant (god I hate that fucking phrase) mags and leaving his out of state naughty ones intact. Upon moving he can sell his NY mags and pickup up his naughty ones.

Why not get Hexmags and keep standard followers and springs nearby?

10 round mags are great for prone practice.

Yup, 20 rounders too. I really like the 10 rounders for shooting off a bag or in a rest. Is there a product that allows you to clip two 10 rounders base to base? If using magpuls throw a cover on the bottom one and you'd nearly have the full utility of a 20 round mag. Would fit nicely in a pouch like that too.

I agree with the above. I havent seen any methods that dont damage your mags, annnnnnnd, comply with ze herr Cuomo.

I've heard the new models eliminated that possibility.

How about a sheet of stickers that say ".500 beowolf 10rnd" and a matching upper ?

Ah the Canadian trick.

Pop rivet in the back of the mag to prevent the follower from moving down. Discrete and effective yet with a drill can be removed.

But would that pass muster if the boogie man wanted to inspect it?

Man, you ask 10 different LE folks for their "interpretation" and you'll likely get 20 different opinions on the matter. They don't know anymore than we do! FUAC.
I swear to god, if a mule kicked Cuomo in the head it could only make him smarter. Maybe it would jostle his three functional neurons together.

I'm with you man. You see that's the only thing that scares the crap out of me in New York. What you and I and maybe 10 LEO's would think is legal, my luck I would get the 11th that would screw me 10 ways to sundown.

It has gotten to the point that anything having to do with fire arms, that I'm not 100% sure of, I just stay away from. For instance the heated debate that we all have had here based on whether I declare that I am armed or not if I am stopped. We all know what the NY law is, but do I want to deal with the bullshit because of the gray area.

The difference between the 2 is that there is case law saying that you don't have to inform but there is none in regards to what makes a converted magazine legal.

Case law, shmase law. If they wanna fuck with you in NY, they will.

 

[Frankly]

Just put 10 rounds in and tell everyone to mind their own f-ing business, doh

What would they charge you with? Anything chargeable has to come from the Penal Law.

Who knows? I'm not a lawyer, don't wanna be a lawyer that's why I moved.

They can arrest me but my attorney will have them for lunch.
