Am I missing something here? I don't mean any offence to anyone, but isn't it illegal to have an unpinned hi-cap mag? I wouldn't think anyone would post that kind of info here. What am I missing? TIA
It's nice that you assumed a liebral attitude and immediately accused me and others of commiting an illegal act without any kind of evidence.
It's good to know that efforts to educate myself make me a criminal.
Remember folks educating yourself IS forbidden by the communist regime.

If they're in the Country already, disassembled, all they are is just parts.
Doesn't anyone take them apart to clean thoroughly? As dirty as I've seen some magazines, some mags need the pop rivet removed and later re-installed to get the follower out.
No biggie, just make sure you have the Military standing by just in case the parts jump up and go on a killing rampage. Oh brother.

Great info! Thanks for the pics.
Anyone have instructions on how to pin 75rd or 120rd Norinco drum mags?
I recently found a bunch in my closet. Early 90's pre ban packed in grease. I tore out the internals (spring winder and follower hinge) to make them non-functional as I couldn't figure out back then how to pin them.
I bought the 75rd AK drum in anticipation of buying an AK later but they got put on the 12(x) class before I could get one. Doh!
The 120rd AR-15 drum is super rare so I don't wanna f-up the pinning.
And no, they are not for sale. Yet.

Personally, I don't give a s**t... but for sake of arguments, the quote says "to the inner surface of its casing". It can be debated, but the casing is the body of the mag, the floor plate is not the casing and it can be easily removed and replaced. (at least more easily than a rivet to the spine of the mag.)
And by definition a rivet is a plug... "[noun] blockage consisting of an object designed to fill a hole tightly"...
I'm not the law, to me your method seems ok, but I would be curious to get the opinion of someone at the CFC to know if your method is "as by the book".
Pick up a Colt 5/20 mag - a factory-pinned mag. It's done like Garands, and no doubt was approved by the RCMP - not the CFC - way back when they were making them.
A couple of years ago, on the way to a match with my lawyer (he's a shooter) at the time we discussed my method of pinning the magazines and he mentioned to me that he would have no problems in a court room scenario defending anyone successfully as the modification of the mags was done by the previously mentioned manner were completely within "the spirit of the law".
Does the method illustrated in those images work with pmags?
If I look on the inside of my m14 20 round mag, the follower has been extended down such that it bottoms out on the floor plate when you get to 5 rounds.
would this work with AR mags?
just curious.
