Sorry I’m sure this as been asked. What the best AR-15 mag? Ideally I’d like a 30 round pinned to 5 that I could modify back to a 30 if I chose to do so. Looked a few local stores but lots are out of stock.
 
I did buy a 10 round that I didn’t try yet. But, the salesgirl said it held 10. Also bought another 30 pinned to 5. But it’s plastic and don’t think it can be modified.

you do realize thats illegal, right? , max is pinned to 5, with the exception of the pistol mag which is still allowed to 10( which is likely what you bought, ), but asking on a public forum for people to help you break the law is a silly thing to do........

My guess is troll.
 
Not a troll. Intelligence level is about average I’d say. I knew I’d take some grief for asking the question. No asking anyone to help me break the law. Figured this would be the place to ask. Not sure where else to ask. But, some people would rather bash someone then help. Just want to make sure I buy mags that I can do whatever I want with. Whatever I chose to do.

Look for Magpul pmags, I think the 3rd gen ones are considered the best but none of them are bad. They are good enough that they have a US Defense Department procurement number and guys buy their own to carry in places where people actually shoot back.

Not necessarily. OP could be making trips to the US where the bullsh!t rivet isn't required or he could be thinking of a SHTF scenario where ridiculous laws are no longer a consideration. Or he could be planning on a paper massacre at his local range that needs all 30 rounds in one glorious burst... Or whatever. Who cares what he wants to know for? Thought crimes are not illegal (yet).

this is true i guess, but still , silly question to be asking on a public forum, specially given the current political climate..

And , yes part of my plan is to take my guns to Maine where I spend some vacation time and plan on buying a vacation home. They do not have mag size restrictions there.
 
If I can’t ask it here, then where? And yes I know the political climate. That’s why I just ordered two lowers to give to my bro and bro in law. Don’t care if they build them. Just believe there’s power in numbers. Trying the do my part to help.

I suggest if you want 30 round mags and you plan on using them in Maine buy them there, leave them there and life is good. Crossing the border with prohib firearm parts might get you in a sticky wicket.;)

A rivet gun is all you need. 3 gun and uspsa competitors do it all time. Unpin in states that allow high capacity, rivet back to 5(or 10) on way home. Though I agree if OP has or will have house down there, might as well have unmodified mags there. Plus they'd likely be cheaper to purchase there

Exactly; OP should just wait and buy the mags when in the states. Have you seen how cheap 30 rounders are on lockhart tactical? for the price of a two-four of beer up here he can order a 3 pack of 3 rnd PMAGS or even steel mags to his vacation house. Silly Question, Silly Answers. OP; get a hold of some political SA in this country before asking advise, stating intent to perform an illegal act, then only after follow up with reasoning why. Oh, and just buy the mags in the states. Cheaper and less work for you.
 
Canadian law prohibits any modification of mags, even re-riveting a prohibited magazine before entry. I'd avoid modifications of any kind at all. Buy 30 round mags there and leave your 5/30s here for the least amount of trouble.

Genuinely curious: can you quote the relevant section of the Firearms Act? Because I was planning to do this if and when I go hog hunting in Texas.
 
nothing stopping you from doing it.
but if you forget to put the rivet back in and you come across the border, or the rivet doesn't block the mag at 5 and the CBSA checks....

Wrong!

Rivets can fail re riveting is the only way to make them legal again. Also for example: BC 10/22 mags we are told to rivet them so they are legal.
