What would you pay for legal full cap AR15 magazines?

I'm quite content with ten.

I'm content with freedom. Buy the guns and mags you want when you want, unless you demonstrate through criminal acts that you can't handle it.

So no limit on mags. We have a ways to go, but we have that goal in mind. Why? Because mag limits have zero to do with criminality.

Just because you are content, so should everybody else???

I never said that. If you read what I said properly you'll see that I was only rebutting Ljungman's point that "all" gun owners wanted hi-cap (30+ rounds) magazines. That's just not true.

I happen to think most gun owners have just as much to fear from extremist gun owners than they have to fear from anti-gun lobbies. Public (and political) opinion, when confronted with an extremist point of view, tends to react in a knee-jerk reaction with an opposing extremist action. Since our law makers are typically on the opposite end of our arguments I tend to favour actions that will not result in knee-jerk legislation against us.

Call me what you want, but I believe that is the reality of our situation. There are ways to get out of quicksand, but kicking and screaming is not one of them.

As far as I know, there was no media backlash over the 10 round AR mags, or the short barrelled 870s from Dlask. That's all old news now. There's no groups of liberals hanging around at the range to notice that you are changing mags less frequently. Personaly, I think that the 5-round limit is one of the worst rules we have, and we should continue to pick away at it. 10 or 20 round mags for M305's would be great for a next step. I've heard a lot of great ideas in threads like this, and I'm optimistic we will continue to make progress.

I agree with you 100% and I support progress. I believe it has to be reasonable progress though. The very reason why there has been no backlash against the 10-mag issue I believe is because it's not excessive. The people at the RCMP who made the call probably understood that it didn't make much of a difference in the end and it served to keep the peace between our groups. That is a loophole that could very easily be fixed though, because it is indeed a loophole. The intent of the law is very clear in this case and it wasn't meant to be written or interpreted in a way where it would be legal to use a high-cap magazine in a semi-auto rifle. You can be certain that if we try to abuse the letter of the law in unreasonable ways the loophole will be quickly fixed, with us geting the short end of the stick.

this sounds like the typical, "i am a hunter, they won't bother taking my guns" mentality. ALL stupid laws like, Prohib, Restricted, Full capacity mags, ATT's, semi-auto, full auto, should be challenged all the time. allowing just a few of the laws are a guaranteed failure way of doing things.

once you lay down and accept one, they will make more. ask the guys who are grandfathered FULL AUTO. they have been screwed over more than any other group of gun owners.

I still would like do see it happen. I've got so much going on right now with other stuff.

This may happen but it won't be for a year or two, at least.

Yes, there are some elements of the firearms community that certainly do nothing to help our position, but we have far, far more to fear from the anti-gunners, as well as the average non-shooter that knows nothing about guns and is easily swayed by emotion.
 
Hi all,

Just a question... would you need to design a commonly available rifle or could you create a hi-cap mag and adaptor for an existing rifle, say a Rem 700BDL. Create something that replaces the hinged floor plate and comes with a custom mag.
The mag and adaptor are now made and marketed for the Rem 700 BDL and can't fit the AR cause it has a bump that keeps it from inserting fully into the mag well. No prob's with the law.

the mag has to be designed for the rifle. an adapter would be seen as a adapter to fit AR mags. IE:remington 7615P.
 
Honestly, I think you could expect to get about $75.00 per unit.

If they also happened to be able to work in an M14, like rumor has it those 10round AR mags MAY be able to do, well then maybe $100.

I don't own any AR's, but I would honestly be in for a couple of magazines that might, by co-incidence, work in my M14, once you got them all legal and such. I'd pay an honest $150 per pair for such an animal, but it would have to come with a copy of the CFC paperwork for the mags so I don't get a free ride to the local RCMP detatchment...
 
Thanks for the correction Powerwagon.

Standard cap mag....

But the point was NOT to create an adaptor that uses an existing mag say that of the AR, but to create a floor plate that replaces the one on a Rem 700 BDL and allows the Rem 700 BDL to use a NEW mag.
A NEW mag that is similar but could not fit into an unaltered AR.

Then you are making and selling parts designed for the Rem 700 BDL only.

Sorry if I'm missing the point.
