Colorado gun owners thumb noses at mag ban

[scruff]

You can't buy a Magpul 30-round mag in Colorado, but they'll take the mag apart and sell you a "parts kit".

Once the Colorado legislators watch this on the news that will be the end of that.

Parts kits have been sold for quite a few years now.
If someone wants to ban parts kits, I'm thinking that horse has left the barn.

Correct I used to buy magazine "parts kits" when I lived in NJ all the time from Copes disturbing and a few other sellers. Some I used the bodies to pin and weld to 15 rounds and others I kept stashed in a floor for a rainy day apocalypse.

Thank God I no longer need to pin, weld, or hide my loot.

Idiots banning magazines is like trying to ban rocks, you can find them everywhere.
Things don't just magically disappear into thin air because it's banned or made illegal.

Warms the cockles of my heart.

Fuck them for trying to rat the stores out.

This happened before. During the height of the Clinton assault rifle ban (that included bans on all magazines over 10 rounds) Brownells started to sell new magazine "repair" bodies for popular competition pistols. This always flew under the radar and for the most people didn't know about this. Perfectly legal.......

But for some reason no one ever sold replacements for AR-15s or AKs. Still perfectly legal but the media and antigunners will probably get their panties in a knot now.

3d ar mag could withstand automatic fire with minor damage years ago.(IE, you could use them more than once)
iirc there are jigs for using piano wire to make springs.

in the future i see 80% magpul mags, hollow shell with some sort of knockout within, needing a little fluff/buff and then inserting the parts you buy seperate. maybe sell the mags all pinned together on a plastic sheet like model airplane parts. all just to obtain the quality of their plastic methods. until printing catches up.

also, i don't have mags to spare. only got about 12.

Not necessarily. There may not currently be the appetite to 'address' this or implement stricter language.
