Saiga mags from overseas.

[LynnMassGuy]

What do you think of this? Apparantly this company will ship what are obviously 30 round saiga mags to th US as 10 round mags by modifying them with some sort of block. I'm thinking it is perfectly legal as long as I don't modify them.( And I would never do that because a LOVE the current gun laws! Tinfoil hat on.) Of course when(if) the AWB mess is straightened out I could convert the mags to 30 rounds. BTW I guess the price comes to about $45 dollars each. Maybe I should have posted this in legal and political.

May still be illegal to use in a saiga unless you have enough usa made parts...

That says it all. If it can easily be converted, that conversion would be considered manufacturing a new mag after the cutoff date. Easy conversion is specifically not ATF approved. Think of the way they do full-auto; any front-pinned HK is a machine gun, regardless of the trigger group attached, just because it can be "easily converted".

Ask for their BATF approval letter. They won't have one.

I agree, but in the state that it comes from the vendor I think it would be legal. The only thing illegal would be me modifying it. I think. (And I would not do tha because it is illegal.)

Great... so where are the shotgun mags? All I see are the rifle magazines.
