I have a big crack on the back of my Glock Model 19 15 round pre ban magazine. This happened due to normal use. Will Glock replace the magazine?
Glock will claim it was caused by using reloaded ammunition or limp wristing.
do you have a link to somewhere that sells just the magazine body?

Now THAT'S funny!Glock will claim it was caused by using reloaded ammunition or limp wristing.
Just find somewhere that sells repair kits and order just the mag body. Only fully assembled magazines are illegal to import into restricted states.
Unlike firearms where "the receiver is the gun", there is no one part of a magazine that's considered to be the magazine. You can use a post-ban mag body to repair a pre-ban magazine and the nebulous entity considered to be the magazine is still considered to be pre-ban.
Just a note though: if you're in California you might want to get this done quickly as they're trying to close this "loophole".

Q1: Can you import newly manufactured parts to repair a legally obtained hi-cap magazine?
A1: Yes.
Q2: Are there any restrictions on which parts can and cannot be imported?
A2: No.
Q3: Can you import all the parts of a single hi-cap magazine at once, provided they are unassembled?
A3: Yes.
Q5: Can you replace the magazine body with one marked "For Law Enforcement Only"?
A5: While theoretically you could use such a part to repair a lawfully owned large capacity magazine, most dealers would be unlikely to sell you such a magazine body, unless you were a law enforcement officer.
Q7: If the magazine body is replaced with one clearly manufactured after 2000 . . . is there any burden of proof upon a California resident that they did in fact replace a worn/obsolete part and did not illegally purchase/import a new hi-cap magazine?
A7: A California resident who repairs a large capacity magazine that was owned before January 1, 2000 does not have any "burden of proof" that the magazine was repaired, rather than replaced with a new magazine. However, it would be prudent in such a case to keep records documenting the purchase of the part necessary for the repair in order to demonstrate that the large capacity magazine was repaired, not replaced.
