I just sold a 50 round drum magazine for the Glock in the EE . I have since found out the guy is in California. Is it legal to ship it their? I thought Cali  had a 10 round limit on magazines?

You can only ship "repair kits" for magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.



If you send a bag of magazine parts, that doesn't count as a magazine.

True, and good advice. If you can disassemble it, send the pieces in two separate shipments to more closely follow the letter of the law.

I'd be wary, though. It may not be some average Joe that's stuck in California... it could be a sting. It's happened before.

I think he's wondering if there would be any legal ramifications for him shipping it there. I would think no, since it is California law and you are not in California.

If you do not live in California, you cannot get in trouble for it. It is the buyer's responsibility to be within the law. Just ship as box of parts and both of you are G2G. There is no real reason to ship more than one shipment.

I've seen any number of statements like this for weapon related stuff:

It is up to the buyer to be familiar with the laws of his state regarding the purchase of this item.


Whether or not that holds water or not, beats me.

You can ship parts kits for mags that did not exist before the ban?

He would only be at risk if he has an FFL (risk of having his FFL revoked).  The buyer in Cali would be taking the risk for "importing or causing to be imported" a banned item, if he received a complete, assembled magazine.

Who's gonna know?  Mags generally don't have serial numbers.  Establishing a date of manufacture is difficult, or impossible.
