HEXMAG 10 round 30 round body... Prohibited Please read....

[mildot]

I'd really like a brand new design, the size of a straight 20 round mag body, that holds 10.

I like that idea, what about a straight 30 as well?

False. I talked to Hexmag at shotshow a few weeks ago. These are just their 10 round rifle mags with a different text box insert in the mold. It's NOT a new mold, it's not a new design. It's just different lettering on the product. This is very common in the molding world.

Is the tube on these 10 rounders the same standard 30-round tube? If yes, one could pop the base with the riser off, insert standard spring and bottom plate from a 30-rounder, done. Since the conversion can be done without tools, it is considered non-permanent, hence prohibited. Mag capacity restriction makes little sense in principle though, because if someone had real criminal intent, they would be unlikely to obey the limits and bring 12 pinned five-rounders to a gunfight anyways...

Definitely interested....

Careful, next law change they will ban all pinned magazines.

The magazine tube is a 10 round pistol tube, the extended base plates do not allow additional rounds. We will post pictures so everyone can see that they are getting.

No, I mean for the HEXMAG 10/30's. If the baseplates are expoxied in place, then it's as "permanent" as a rivet.

Problem solved.

Exactly... they hold 5 rounds not 10. It all comes down to the Magazine tube. If the tube is designed to hold more than 10 rounds it is not compliant.

Yes. but those components can be replaced and then you have a 30 round magazine. The tube can not be designed to hold more then 10 rounds, a 30 round tube regardless of how you restrict the capacity is a 30 round tube.

This is not a valid statement, most of our 5 round mags in canada are 30 round mags that have been pinned with a rivet to hold 5.

Even better.

No because as you see in that picture you now have a 30 rd tube. If they were riveted as well?
