So if the Clinton Crime Bill ever expires, which I really doubt it will, but if it would expire, would we suddenly see a raise in value to all of these 10 round magazines for collectors?

I would assume that most manufactuers would stop producing 10 rounders when there really wouldn't be any need for them and they aren't any cheaper to produce than standard capacity mags.

So should we start stocking up on the 10 rounders for investment purposes? Anyways, just a thought.
 
I doubt they would go up, but you never know. If the ban were to go away, I doubt the manufacturors will bother to make them 10 rounders anymore for the reason nobody in their right mind would buy them.

Remember when they banned the sale of Black Talon ammunition? Prices went up but I don't know that there is all that much of a demand for that kinda stuff within our community.........and there is going to be one hell of a lot more magazines out there too. But it would be funny if they did go up. Then I could look to Ebay and see high priced mags that were actually for 10 round capacity mags!!!:D

It is legal in NJ to have a magazine up to 15 rounds. Hawaii allows only 10 rounds also, IIRC.


I think manufacturers will still make the 10 round magazines, sell them with the new guns, and make people pay more for the regular capacity magazines as an aftermarket item or upgrade.
 
Actually the price of 10rd mags will probably go down as dealers try to get rid of them. Basic supply and demand. Reduced demand = reduced price.

I fully expect the AWB to sunset - and then after the elections to be replaced by something else by March or April of 2005. So snatch up those high caps that will be legally produced for 6 or 7 months while you can.
 
Definitely, 10 rounders will be purt near worthless. Send them to Ruger, so they can hand them out to the "honest men."
 
Sheldon,

The manufacture of Black Talon ammo was never banned. In fact, Winchester still markets the same ammo, renamed Ranger SXT. IIRC, Winchester voluntarily stopped using the Black Talon name, due to the bashing it took from the media. They decided it was better to simply change the name rather than have their product bashed. It seems to have worked, as you never see the press badmouth Ranger SXT, unlike the treatment Black Talon recieved.

I had a box of .40 Black Talons that I was told I could expect to be paid upwards of $75.00 for if I decided to sell them. I guess there are some people who will pay any amount just to say they had a 'rare' collectors item. There are silly people everywhere I guess.

As for the 10 round mags, I see them being produced post-repeal (if that unlikely event occurs). There is still a market in the corrupt states whose governments feel it necessary to restrict the rights of their citizens. The mags that are left over in the free states will probably decrease in price as the manufacturers are allowed to market normal capacity mags to the general population. I don't foresee the prices of these mags coming down too soon, as the demand for them will be pretty high. Eventually the prices will come down, but probably not until January 2005.
