Can I get an opinion? I understand I can have 30 round magazines for a preban rifle but no more than 10 rounds for post ban rifles. What if I buy a post ban rifle after I acquire a pre ban? Do I have to hide my "over 10" magazines?

Or am I totally off here?

And no, I will not send you the hi-cap mags  for safekeeping!

Depending on your state laws. Some city's do not allow hi-cap mags at all.

A pre-ban mag is legal to own.  You can use the mag in any rifle, pre or post.  The post ban mags are not legal for the manufacture to sell to the pubic and are either date stamped or marked LEO only.

Certain areas of NYC have hi-cap restrictions and also Chicago I believe.


ALL parts of NYC (Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Statan Island) have a ban on AR's AK, etc.  The high caps restriction is on pistols. (which you can't own unless you have a permit for, and the permit is hard almost impossible to get)

Most parts of NY are ok, with the exception, I think, of Albany, where you can't have an "assault weapon" either.

In SC, I think you can put whatever capacity pre-ban mags on a post-ban AR or AK.  It must vary by state, however, so I would check it out before doing the wrong thing.

I have a post-ban Bushmaster that *came* with a 30 round magazine!
