I was going through my "stash" of AR gear this weekend just to clean out the clutter and I found a bunch of brand new pre-ban LaBelle teflon 30rnd. mags that I had horded away in the days of the AWB.  Some of these are still NIW and the others are brand new still in the plastic bag, but opened.

Living in a "free" state, I don't have to worry about "pre-ban" or "post-ban", though I did notice that these pre-ban mags seem to be of a slightly better quality and tolerances.

My question:  Are pre-ban mags worth anything more than post-ban mags these days?  Like in one of the "banned" states perhaps?

Thanks,

They are if you can get someone to pay more for them in a ban state. I've got some I may sell at a slight loss, so I can use the proceeds to buy more new D&H Black Teflons... the plan is to sell 21 prebans, buy 32 new teflons...if I can get what I think I may be able to (iffy, but we'll see). What's not to like?

The highest I've seen prebans sell for recently is $15 each. If you can get more, more power to you.

There are those here who would castigate you for making a profit off the misfortune of a fellow ARFCOMMER because he still lives in a ban state. I won't be one of them. If they hate it so much, they can always move to a free state. Do whatever you want.

Lots of demand in States with AWB's See if you cant work out a deal with some of the residents. you could sell 'em for 10 bucks and then buy new ones

im sent

WTT Preban Magazines for those behind enemy lines *UPDATED*   (Page 1)

I've had my 10 used mags on there since early January, and still haven't had ANYONE showing ANY interest.       I felt all good about myself, thinking I'd be able to help someone behind enemy lines, but oh well.

But it looks like you got an IM for your NIW mags, good for you.
