A link to reference would be appreciated if you've got one.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

[blue][b] I don't have any links for you, but Hi cap mags are illegal in the Republic of New Jersey. [/blue][/b]

I just answered my own question.

NJ prohibits magazines of capacity GREATER THAN 15 rounds according to http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws.asp?FormMode=Detail&R=NJ.

It is legal to own hi-capacity mags as long as they are blocked to 15 rounds in the state of NJ. They do not have to be permanently blocked. If you were to cut a piece of wood that would limit the round count to 15 rounds then install it, it would be legal to ship it to that state. It is up to you if you want to go through the extra hassle.

As you found out, NJ enjoys mags up to and including 15 rds. You can send blocked mags or a bag-o-mag-parts if you like when dealing with > 15 rd mags. The definition of a hi-cap is very conservative in NJ (for now), so a disassembled mag cannot constitute a hi-cap.
