Greetings!
I live in the People's Republic of California where fun gun ownership is a felony and mags with capacities over 10 are banned. (as is a simple transfer of magazines between shooting buddies!!)
I use my old pre-ban AR15 20 & 30 round mags with my KelTec SU16 rifle. Two of the magazines are now defective due to being worn out- including one with the tabs holding the floorplate in place has fatigue cracked /broken off and won't hold the floor in place rendering it worthless. I'm running out!
Can anyone tell me if I can purchase just the outer shell of 20 round mags legally? What constitutes a "hi cap magazine"? Is it the magazine's "guts" or the outer shell?? Seems to me like it has to be the whole assembly otherwise they are just inert metallic junk / stampings!!
I simply want to exchange my preban defective magazine tube for a replacement tube.... Can /will the original manufacturer (Colt) do that? I know I can't buy the whole assembly but I CAN buy replacement springs and followers but I haven't seen the outer shell....
Anyone have any insight??
