Best way to fix a incorrectly pinned magainze?

[Paladin308]

No, nonsense. How are you supposed to clean the mag if the floor plate can't be removed!? The intent of the law is that your magazine capacity is no more than 10 and that it would not be an easy task to change that. There is no mention of Kryptonite, stick welders, super glue, Loctite, pop rivets, nuclear fission, flux capacitors or anything of the sort.

I'm not sure about the raving baby killer part, but I will tell you that if you remove the pop rivet creating a prohibited device, somewhere a kitten will cry.

I would suggest you stop attempting to impute any intent other than disarmament into the law, it will break your brain.

I quoted the relevant subsection of the CCC literally two posts above yours, I even bolded the relevant phrase. In case you didn't bother to read it I'll post the important bit again:
"...the modification to the magazine cannot be easily removed and the magazine cannot be easily further altered so that it is so capable of containing more than five or ten cartridges, as the case may be."
If the block is not sealed into the magazine it becomes "easily removed" by simple disassembly and is therefore a prohibited device. Believe me I wish this weren't so, but it is.

Also, it may not mention kryptonite, loctite, nuclear fission or flux capacitors, it does mention welding, adhesive, or epoxy:
"...by welding, brazing or any other similar method or by applying a permanent adhesive substance, such as a cement or an epoxy or other glue"
Thankfully the list of acceptable means to limit magazine capacity is not exclusive, which is why we can get by with simple pop-rivets, that said, the modification must still pass the "not easily removed" requirement to be kosher.

Get a Canadian tire pop riveter found here. They go on sale at least once every couple of months.

Insert the new rivet, remove the old rivet and you're never in possession of a prohib mag.

Also with the rivet kit you can experiment with a couple of rivets in different materials and find the best solution to remove the old rivet.

My Baikal Viking has a block of plastic in the Mag to limit capacity to 10 rounds. the bottom plate was plastic and can easily be removed. It was judged legal 10+ years back.

BTW I have a Norc 1911 Mag that the spot weld inside the mag had come loose over the years. I have been meaning to fix it. Thanks for recommending a Canadian tire pop riveter.
