I am unaware of any restrictions for WV concerning the sales of magazines.

Fair question from an out-of-state seller.  WVA and VA have no restrictions on magazine sales/ownership/shipping.  

The places you might have problems with (among many others) include: D.C., Maryland, and New Jersey - which I suppose you could say are "in the neighborhood."

though i agree with the poster above, whom asked what a high cap mag was... 30 rounders are standard capacity magazines in most wrongly deemed "assault rifles"(iirc they techinically must be capable of seletive fire to be an "assault rifle"), just as 20 rounds is pretty standard in "battle rifles". now this is all rather tongue in cheek, but i guess beta c brand 100 round drum magazines would be high capacity magazines...
