TTAG is reporting that Optics Planet sent out an e-mail explaining that they are no longer selling standard magazines (more than 10-round cap).
TTAG story Optics Planet confirmed the policy change is true. This is sad. 
ETA: Copy of e-mail that TTAG posted. "Our policy has recently changed regarding magazines that exceed 10 rounds. We can no longer sell these to the general public." 
ETA: Statement from Optics Planet on their policy: When there’s smoke, there’s often fire. But sometimes – smoke is just smoke.
We fully understand how the email featured in the article on The Truth About Guns suggests that we may have made a decision to limit the sales of magazines over 10 rounds due to the recent tragedy in Parkland, Florida. Before we go any further, we want to make it clear that our condolences go to the families of all of the victims, and that our hearts go out to a community trying to recover after a senseless event. At OpticsPlanet, we have never used the inflamed tensions and emotions of current events to drive decision making. Our support of the 2nd amendment is made undeniably clear by the products we offer. We are one of the few online retailers who never stopped offering completely legal products such as bump stocks or binary triggers, when many did. We do not raise prices during frenzies. We do, however, follow the laws and make adjustments when legally required. In this case, insufficient internal communication led to a misread message. We are not offering magazines with capacities greater than 10 rounds to the general public due to our location in Northbrook, Illinois, and local laws that limit our ability to sell these. Being an internet retailer serving fifty states can be complex at times, and frankly, our location in Illinois only adds to this complexity. We may not always like the law, but we need to follow it. We own up to the fact that we did not explain this well internally, which led to an unclear message given to the customer, but we can completely repudiate any notion that this is a reaction to any recent event or the political climate. Unfortunately, our loyal customer base is best served by purchasing their magazines from retailers in “free” states. This issue is currently out of our hands. We’re committed to working hard to retain your business for everything else you need. It’s unfortunate that this issue has created so much confusion, and we apologize for not providing clearer messaging in the first place. We continue to support our passionate customer community as we have for the past eighteen years in every way we can. |

I'll give 'em $350 for a hundred Pmags, 30 rd G2 or 3, non-windowed. And they eat the shipping. |

Eric Harris had THIRTEEN ten round magazines for his High Point during Columbine.
The bad guy picks the time and manner of his attack, and can carry however many spare mags he wishes. The good guys have their sidearm CCW and maybe one spare. That is the reason mag bans are so stupid. |

Just saw they brought in 261 million last year and have over 1600 employees.
Guess they think they are too big to fail. I say we put that belief to the test.
They are also based out of Illinois. |

If this is true then they just committed company suicide. They should have just stopped selling mags entirely along with some bogus excuse, that probably would have let them slide. But this is utter idiocy...again, if it's true.
