Greetings,

I was searching for 30-round, oops, I meant "seven-inch pre-ban AR-15 mags" on eBay (they don't permit auctions for mags with >10-round capacity as they are based in Kalifornia, so sellers have to use codewords.)

One seller had "preban AR-15 mags" for sale.  I e-mailed him and asked him all the questions - LEO stamps, date stamps, dents/dings/feed lip cracks, manufacturers, etc. (all of which I've learned from the great people here at AR15.com).

He e-mails me back, and it turns out half the mags were LEO-stamped (I'm not a police officer or active-duty military.)  I suggested that he write a better description of his mags next time, and also suggested that he either [anonymously] give the post-bans to his local PD or destroy them (he's not LE / military or a dealer.)

Did I give him the right advice?  Could he also have sold them to a LE/military type, maybe here in EE?  

Your thoughts, please (but no rants on how the "JBT's shouldn't have stuff we can't have, etc., etc." This is just a technical question.)

Thanks,
Gabe

[Edit] aztrooper, IM sent with link to eBay auction.  I never bought the mags, he described them in his e-mail.

Methinks turning them over would be a quick way to find himself/herself in a whole lotta cow-dung.  Probably better to just destroy them.

I will buy them.  $5.00 each?
