What would you pay for legal full cap AR15 magazines?

With the recent events proven the name stamped on the mag means a lot, it got me thinking. I'm going to build a simple, basic, slapped together .223 bolt action. With the firearm one could make magazines for it and they would not be limited by capacity. Oh, they also fit in the AR15.


What would you pay? What do you think is reasonable?

If it was a 30rd mag and it was legal to use in my AR I'd pay about $100 and be happy. Might go higher but not feel quite as happy until I used it ;)
 
Just a little less than the neutered ones, as it wouldn't have the added metal of the rivets in the pinned ones:runaway: :p

I would assume that you could ask any reasonable price, comparable to the regular neutered ones, maybe a little more as your efforts should be compensated.

BTW, would this be as simple as ordering a stock of AR mags and changing the baseplate stamp, to the name of the "new rifle"?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they fit the AR-15, then by default of the law, you would have to limit them to 5 rds. Isn't this the case with the Remmy Pump that accepts AR mags. Your idea would be no different from wah tI can see....
 
I'm think they wouldn't be exact copies of AR15 mags, much easier to get this to fly with the law. Maybe even an entire different locking system for the bolt gun, but they happen to work the AR15.

I should price out some stamping costs and what have you. What do yo figure would be a reasonable number for a first run? Does 500 sound high or low?

You are corrected. The Remmy pump does not use Remington 7615 magazines, it's uses AR15 magazines. That's the reason.

Now, if it used Remington 7615 mags, they would not have a limit, maybe. The 7615 is advertised as being designed to take AR15 mags, so it could be argued any magazine built for it is an AR15 magazine.
 
Wouldn't really matter. If they work in the AR and hold more than 5 rds, you are screwed if you use them in it whether they were designed for it or not....
edit to add, hasn't Wolverine tried dancing with the devil on this and lost?

Go read some info on the 10 round 9mm mags for the AR15. Or the 10 round Barretta 92 mags in the CX4 Storm. I refuse to explain this any more to you people. :rolleyes:

If they were leagl then they would sell.
I believe there would have to be some differences to make it legal... as i understand it. The Beretta carbine came after the pistol and therefore the mags were DESIGNED for the Pistol. But in the Remington case they use mags that are DESIGNED for AR-15s and therefore must still be blocked to 5

Make sure your mags are designed for your bolt gun or better yet an existing mass produced gun IE the Remington :D or better yet some hunting gun, even if there was a part that could be changed or modified.

Just make some for the rem police pump and mark them as such then you should be good to go.

It's been argued by the CFC and RCMP that any mag for the 7615 is an AR15 mag as the magwell is an add on that was designed specifically for AR15 mags. At least that's what I recall sxyglock found out when he attempted do do just what you sudgest.

I figure cut out any potential problems and built a completely new rifle that coulnt' possibly be call and AR15 or variant.

Ok... got me there. But would the new rifle have to be a production rifle and not a one of custom?

Good question. Maybe my production run is only two.

The thing here is to get it in the FRT so we can say, "These magazines are for ### rifle. They are ### magazines."

Basically, it's just there to have something to stamp on the mags and so the RCMP can't say, "You're just building AR15 mags with a different name for a non-existant rifle."
