Does anyone have the real story why USGI mags say something like "Restricted military/Gov't/Law Enforcement/Export Use Only"

I can guess why its there but don't know for sure (i.e. 94-04 AWB?) anyone have the real answer? Does it result in any substantial limitations on these products or is it a meaningless statement?

Yup, that was a marking under the old fed assault weapon ban.

Over 10rd mags made after 9/13/94 couldn't be sold to the peasants and had to be marked in some way. All (Federal) limitations ceased to exist on 9/14/04

Everyone should own one, and a 10rd abortion, as a reminder of what "reasonable" gun control looks like.

So if the peasants have them now it's because once the ban was lifted it was ok for them to be sold?

I see you are in California, I would check in the California HTF forum for the laws that are in place regarding the sale of 30rd magazines

yea, not a question for myself. Just a theroetical question. I see them talked about frequently and I wondered how it applies to those in free states.

That means it was OK for them to be sold (barring any state or local retardation)

You can use them in a featureless rifle but if it has a bullet button it has to be pinned. Most everyone i know with them in cali just stores them away for a rainy day.

MA (my residence) and a few other states can only use pre 9/1994 mags, so any of the "For LE/Mil only" mags are a big no no.  Most mags made before the 94 AWB had no marking, although a couple manufacturers internally date stamped them and I think only Center (or was it Okay?) externally dated them... Most guys in MA use a Parsons/Adventure line/Sanchez, which were made from the late 1970s-early 1990s. These mags are undated but these particular manufacturers had dropped the USGI contract for mags by the AWB so they are actually pre-94.  Although an actual date stamp is always easier to prove that it is a legitimately preban mag in the People's Republic of Massachusetts and other similar states.
