Is it legal to bring parts of hi cap magazines from other countries back into the US?

My understanding that it is legal. However, if you assemble it into a Hi Cap mag here then it would be illegal, because you manufactured one. I had thought about doing that it the past with Para Ord mags, and was told that it would be illegal.

Legally, you would have to obtain an import license from Customs & BATF. This isn't trivial, which is why it's typically only done by large importers. It wouldn't be worth the costs and hassle for a few mags.

Ok, but what about us poor lost Canadians. I have only a couple of 30 round mags that I have blocked to 5 rounds to comply with Canadian Laws. I also have 5 thirty rounders that I bought in the states and took apart to bring them into Canada. I am going to a 3 gun match in Michigan at the end of the month and was planning on taking my 30 rounders there, putting them back together and haveing a GREAT TIME....Trust me 3gun with 5rd mags in TOUGH!! Sooo Can I take them and then bring them home agian or am I going to spend time in Michigan jail??

Ok, but a great deal on Thermold rebuild kits wouldn't be out in that case.
Thanks!

Hey Stormbringer,
I was just wondering where is this 3 gun match you are going to go to in Michigan. Is it at the Bluewater Sportsman Assoc. on the 23rd or something like that. If so I plan on being at that match also. If you want I will bring some of my mags there and let you use them. I would be more than happy to help out a fellow Canadian seeing Im going to be living in Canada soon. That way you wont have to worry about the mags and Customs.
