What happened to all of the 10 rd mags from the AWB?

[22-rimfire]

I seldom load my larger capacity magazines with more than 10-rounds. I see little need. I paid $75 ea for pre-ban mags during the Clinton AWB period. I later decided I really didn't care much one way or the other, but prefer the larger capacity mags since they are easier to load. I keep the old ones. You never know when you might want some extra mags that are already paid for.

I don't need the extra rounds in my .45!

There is a ten round magazine propping up a junky washing machine in a house I used to rent. Landlord wouldn't fix it and it would wobble across the room so I slid it under there after the ban had expired and I got proper mags.

Nice! best answer yet.

the 10 rounders work just as good as anything else so why bother shelling out for newer mags when you have perfectly good old ones?

They only work for the first ten rounds; they don't feed rounds eleven and subsequent so well...

IMO, a normal sized magazine that has had its capacity arbitrarily slashed by a third or two thirds is worse than useless to me, because it might get mistaken for a full-capacity magazine, and even if it doesn't it is taking up space that could be occupied by an inexpensive non-hobbled mag.

I never had a whole lot of the 10-rd ban magazines, but I've kept the ones I had. There is nothing wrong with plinking with a 10-rd magazine, and they'll do fine for most other purposes.
