Magazine Question?

[Biggfoot44]

Huh.

Help me out here everyone .

Is this a new thing since I last looked into latest AR / PCC conversions? Last I paid attention , it was adapters for either Colt SMG mags , or Glock mags . My 9mm AR is purpose built for Glock mags .

I believe these are Endomags.

AR-9 ENDOMAGS 9MM CONVERSION KIT | Brownells

Several companies have developed 9mm conversion systems designed for use in standard AR-15 lowers and uppers. However, feeding a 9mm magazine through a standard AR-15 magazine well presents some issues. Typically, this has been solved by the use o...

This is fine, since you already own a 30 rd mag.

This is something that goes Inside of existing milspec 30rd 5.56 mag ? Does it work reliably? What's the purported advantages over SMG or Glock 33 mags ?

What's a link , or a brand name to search for ?

Endomag.

With the Mean Endo mags, make sure you buy the right ones. They make a CMMG RDB and one for standard direct blowback. The direct blowback comes with an ejector(you need this). The CMMG version does not. The ejector is in their bolt.

I know I'm a bit late to this thread but this is a question I've considered in the past to make sure I don't run afoul of this law. The relevant portion of CR 4-305 is:

(b) A person may not manufacture, sell, offer for sale, purchase, receive, or transfer a detachable magazine that has a capacity of more than 10 rounds of ammunition for a firearm.

Now, it would depend on how aggressive a State Prosecutor wants to be, and presumably how the matter came to the attention of law enforcement, but by ordering (and likely paying for) so-called "high capacity" magazines while you are in Maryland, arguably you would violate the "purchase" prong of the provision. Note that "purchase" and "receive" are two distinct actions. You would avoid the "receive" prong as you are physically picking them up in another state, but you initiated the transaction in Maryland, which could plausibly be characterized as "purchase." I would say (of course depending on your risk tolerance), the most prudent approach is to organize your acquisition such that all aspects of it occur out-of-state.

No, No,, Your not late,,
We need to keep this front and center until Jan 10th 2024,, MGA aint gonna figure this out themselves ya know!

 

[Threeband]

Don't worry about it.

NOBODY is prosecuting this nonsense except as an add-on for another arrest, and even then it would almost certainly be dropped.

Find something real to obsessed about like the open border or the federal deficit.

Well since this has been bumped , and both helpful and curious members or public might read :

The quoted section , and the narrow potential application discussed above has been analyzed and debated for years by the finest minds at MDS , and ..........

There is no clear or meaningful answer . Too vague or ambiguous for even overzealous ideologue States Attorneys to have hope of reasonable odds of conviction , but neither giving clear direction to the gun owners who bend over backwards to be in compliance .

Nobody is going to prosecute you for it, even if somehow they knew about it.

Just
Forget
About
It.

It's nothing more than an add-on charge in that case, not standalone.

Well actually, as far as guns go, yes. Three kids, work and a photography hobby left the gun closet door locked for a decade.

Why don't you quote it?

"On Thursday, my central Jersey reported that Yetman has also been charged locally in New Jersey with fourth-degree possession of large capacity ammunition."


How do you think that is at all relevant?

1) This is in New Jersey, not Maryland.

2) It's an add-on charge to the more serious crime of High Treason/being a Magyar Republican.

3) It's a charge of "Possession," which is not illegal in Maryland..

Ergo it bears no resemblance to the OP's fevered anxiety about being prosecuted for placing an online order while in Maryland, and the Special MSP Doorkicker Unit shooting his dog at oh-dark-fifteen.

Non Hungarian Republicans can't be charged with treason in NJ?

 

[Threeband]

I think being a republican in New Jersey is always "problematic," but being a Magyar Republican is double-plus ungood.

Lunchbox Joe Biden said so.

All this boils down to your particular situation and risk tolerance. Like it or not, the magazine capacity ban is the law. I can assure you that in the various counties, different judges and prosecutors can and do approach or enforce the same law differently. I would not go so far as to say nobody would ever get prosecuted for this, or for that matter any particular criminal law. If you are a government contractor with a Top-Secret clearance and a young family, I would assume that you might approach this issue much differently than if you were a 75-years-old retired guy. In this particular case, and putting to the side that fact this is likely a foolish and perhaps unconstitutional law, it is relatively easy to legally acquire whatever magazines you want via conduct occurring entirely outside the State of MD so that would seem the prudent thing to do. But, different strokes for different folks, you do you, YMMV, etc.
