Thread: Pinned Mag confusion

Technically it is illegal. Whether the police care is another matter.

Why you'd want a 30rd pinned to 7 is beyond me, a 15-20rd sized mag makes sense though as it gives you something to grab to pull it out of pouches, the magwell when you have a stoppage, etc - the 5rd mags are irritatingly small.

The whole "has the appearance" thing is entirely subjective and reliant on having a sound knowledge of firearms. For example a cop could freak out over a 30 round looking mag in an A cat .50 Beowolf. Interestingly pretty much all A cat mags can hold more than 7 rounds with a bit of dremel work, technically I guess that makes them all E cat parts. The system is fucked.

Yeah I'm pretty sure a lot of our 5 rd mags are just 10s that are blocked to 5, I cut too much off the follower of one of my shitty 5s and made it an 8rd mag so I had to replace the follower. It's annoying since we can't even get decent 7rd factory mags
