THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE POST I just want to know if any of these are pre-ban magazines, if so which ones, THEN I would like put them in the EE to trade. I figured someone MIGHT be able to use them as the issue of ban/pre-ban means nothing to me here in FL.
I've used them for several years in various classes and have loaned them to students for classes, they all function 100%. I know I got the FN magazines during the ban and they were worn AS THEY ARE in the pics. Got them at a gun show in Columbia, SC. Only one of the magazines, a Colt, has a date of 11/93, the rest have NO DATES on the outside that I can see. Any help is appreciated. FLOOR PALTES ARE MARKED AS FOLLOWS: FN MFG INC COLUMBIA, SC MFG CODE 3S679 O Kay INDUSTRIES, INC New Britain, CONN U.S.A. CAL 5.56MM COLT'S FIREARM DIVISION COLT INDUSTRIES HARTFORD, CONN. U.S.A. SABCHEZ ENT. Mansfield, OH USA (has circle with D/S) Here is what I have: Number 0-4 are 0-FN; 1-OK; 2-FN; 3-OK; 4-Colt 
5- Colt; 6-Colt dated 11/93; 7/8-OK; 9-FN 
10-FN; 11/12/13- OK; 14-FN 
15/16/17- FN; 18- OK; 19- Sanchez 
20-29- Sanchez 
30- Adventure Line

Also check Inside the mags for a date code. Also look for a cage code. Other than that, no stampings cannot be proven to be post ban, and since your mags have the followers/baseplates all switched around, I would feel safe sending the no stamp mags to MD. Another thing I was wondering about... I have no idea or way to know if the baseplates are original to the magazine body. I suppose the main issue is either a date is stamped to CLEARLY establish pre-ban followed secondly with NO DATE... correct? |

Inside of the following magazines ARE marked as noted, one set of numbers on one side of the mag, the second set on the opposite side. One mag just had a single number on each side:
#3 K2 91 02 91 #4 K4 87 04 87 #6 K11 93 011 93 #8 K1 91 01 91 #9 K10 86 010 86 #12 K2 (only one number each side) 02 #13 K7 86 07 86 #17 K8 91 08 91 #18 K10 86 010 86 The rest are unmarked inside and outside. I feel safe calling these PREBAN... any disagree? Thanks |

For example, I was expecting your Sanchez mag to have a black follower. The FNfloorplate mag should have a green one instead of black. Etc. |

OP,
Your magazines with the internal stamping-die date-stamps, such as "K7 91/O7 91" are/were manufactured by OKAY Industries and are "pre-ban" for all intents and purposes. They pre-dated the external date-stamps that were added in the early to mid-1990's by OKAY and others. Good luck. |

Can they be legally sent to MA? Quoted:

Preban mags can go to Massachusetts AND Maryland? Knew about Massachusetts. Any other states behind the lines that preban mags can ship to? Can they be legally sent to MA? That was my understanding before the recent ruling by the AG. Nothing I saw in her ruling seemingly affected pre-ban mags, only post-ban rifle configurations. |
