First, I'm in Tennessee we have NO restrictions on magazine capacity.
I picked up four modified Pachmayr magazines for about 10 bucks each. It looks like someone was trying to figure out where to dimple the sides of the magazines to reduce their capacity. Two of them will hold 10 rounds. The other two will hold 11 rounds.
I disassembled one and looked everything over. Everything looks fine. There are just two dimples in the sides that prevent the follower from traveling past the 10/11 round point when the magazine is assembled.
My first inclination is to simple drill out the dimples and then trim up the edges of the holes to remove the burrs.
Are the holes going to be too big and weaken the structure of the magazines?
Any other ideas?
