i haven’t seen this posted in many places so i wanted to see what y’all Californians think
Little background
Basically the maglatch device installs with the firearm disassembled and makes it so your AK Maglatch COMPATIBLE magazines cannot be removed without removing the action of your Ak47. But they base their whole sales pitch on being able to use your old standard magazines in your rifle outside of California with no modification, but using the Maglatch compatible magazines in CA.
So let’s say you get stopped by Johnny Law.... Mr. Officer confiscates your gun and charges you with possession of an assault weapon. You cry and plead that it’s not capable of using detachable magazines by handing him your modified AK Maglatch magazine. He inserts it, and cannot remove it without disassembling the action of the firearm. But he gets curious and inserts his own standard AK47 magazine and is able to remove it without disassembling the action of the rifle....
Anybody able to give input on this? How are these guys confidently advertising this in California? I don’t see any loophole in the law that would make this device legal at all.
I understand that company’s can sell/advertise anything they want and it’s up to US to decide wether it’s legal or not before using it in our rifles, but I think I’m missing something here.
The way I see it, it converts that ONE style of magazine to fixed, not the rifle. Throw a standard AK47 magazine into the rifle and the rifle is not a fixed magazine rifle.
Any input?
Thanks,
B
