Quoted:
I have 2 questions with regard to legality. In the first case, I'm *not* trying to pull a fast one as I believe it to be legal, but for the second one, I'm just not sure:
1) Can I replace a mag body (and keep and crush the old body) and replace the internals with new internals? I think this is OK, but just checking.
2) Can I take a pre-ban 20rd mag and replace the body with a new curved 20rd replacement mag body?
Thanks,
BoB

(O4) How does the law define the term "large capacity ammunition feeding
device?"
The term "large capacity ammunition feeding device" is defined as a
magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device manufactured after
September 13, 1994, that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or
converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. [b] Large capacity
ammunition feeding devices in knockdown (disassembled) condition consisting of
all parts needed to assemble a complete large capacity ammunition feeding
device are subject to regulation if the parts are segregated or packaged
together and held by a person as the parts for the assembly of a particular
device. [/b]
{18 U.S.C. 921(a)(31)}
As far as replacement of parts goes... It is my understanding that you may replace all of the parts in a mag, just not [i]all[/i] at the same time. You could change the body, spring, and follower and keep the floor plate. You could then change the floor plate out at a later time if you had to.
