Magazine Question
Hi,
I know a few years ago there was a limit on the number of rounds that a mag could hold.
Is there a legal limit on that still in PA? I think there are other states that have something like that but wondered if we had one.
Thanks

Re: Magazine Question
No limit of any sort in PA. There never was one. The federal Assault Weapon Ban (AWB) meant that you couldn't manufacture new mags of >10 capacity from 94 - 04, but that sunsetted.
Other states had and still have local limits: NJ being the nearest.

Re: Magazine Question
Well, actually what I was wondering is that I have a very large capacity rotary mag from a SKS type rifle. It came from a relative that passed away. I wanted to sell it but I didn't know if I legally could or if I had to distroy it.
Glad to know that isn't the case!

Re: Magazine Question
Are you sure that it's for an SKS? I have heard of "duckbill" 30 round mags for the SKS, but never a drum mag for an SKS. If it's for an SKS...you might not be 922R compliant with a hi cap drum.

Re: Magazine Question
I was told that this was for an SKS but the drum does not have a duckbill. Would that make it for a AK style?
Thanks for the info.

Re: Magazine Question
I doubt that the drum will work on an SKS because the SKS is designed to have a fixed magazine. The SKS that have the hi caps are either Chinese 30 rounders that is a fixed magazine...or the 30 round duckbill mags that don't seem to work very well in the SKS.

Re: Magazine Question
Most likely an AK drum magazine, does it have 2 clips and a hinge where you can open up the back?
If it does it is likely a very desirable chinese drum and they are going for $100+, can you post pics? If you can post a picture we can figure it out for sure, then list it in the marketplace section, I'm sure someone will buy it.

Re: Magazine Question
Here are some pictures. The photos actually look worse than the actual magazine.
I any other close ups are needed, let me know and I can post them up.
Again, Thanks for the help on this!
