How much are these worth? I found someone selling some and was wondering how much they went for.

Assuming you are asking about the larger floorplate for a standard USP magazine as used on the Target/Match type guns, they are "worth" about $3 each, but, as with most everything else HK puts their name on, they usually sell for an inflated price. Around $10 ea. if I recall.

Sorry, the ones I was talking about but didn't really specify were the ones that add +3 rounds iirc.

Well, again, not knowing which model or caliber you speak of, I would say that the only HK mags you could lawfully add a 3 rd. capacity to would be pre bans, or either pre or post ban models which hold 7 rd. or less, since any addition to, say a 10 rd. post ban USP mag would be "manufacture" of a restricted ammunition feeding device...same reason you cannot lawfully add a +2 floorplate to a G26 mag that was made as a 10 rounder...you have now "manufactured" a 12 rd. mag. It's perfectly OK, however, to insert a high-capacity mag made before the ban and use it to your hearts' content.

In any case, a +3 extension would probably require a new spring also, and, no, I do not know anyone using any such animal for an HK pistol, but I'm sure they are out there.

Hey, it does not HAVE to make sense...it's the law!

The guy says they only work on the preban .45 12 round mags.
