AR-15 Magazines

Which AR-15 magazines do you guys use? I plan to acquire a few 30 round mags while I am in AZ, but I've heard a lot of them are crap. I read that Brownell's is supplying the US Govt, so I assume that their's are good? Also, they have a choice of either chrome silicon or stainless steel springs for the same price. Is one better than the other?

I get my mags from these guy's.

Isn't it illegal to bring 30 round magazines into Maryland if you bought them out of state? Is that the same as trying to have them shipped in? The law says possession is not prohibited but transport is.

I think the capacity ban is ridiculous but I've stuck to 20 rounders and leave the 30 rounders in storage.

Just curious.

I have been told you can't buy them in Md. Or have them shipped in, but is ok to own 30's.

Redneck · Mar 26, 2007

if you own them can you use them at the range? might seem dumb but i dont understand

Typical Maryland law.

The law says possession is not prohibited but transport is.

Transport is not illegal, TRANSFER is.

You can buy as many as you want out os tate and bring them back as long as you don't intend to sell them (or give them away) to anybody in Maryland.

So i can buy a 30 round mag out of state, bring it back, use it on the 15th in MD, and have no problems?

VNVGUNNER · Mar 26, 2007

You will see lots of 30's there.

I hope it is legal, because I will be flying into BWI with a bunch of 30 round mags in my checked luggage. If I don't post for a while, you can locate me here:

Thank you! I'll still stick with my 20s since they are easier to shoot with but now I won't worry as much about my 30s.

For you folks near Delaware, I bought my 30 rd mag at Shooters Choice in Dover. I think it was $24.95. Also picked up a 30 rounder for my AK-47.

Yes it's leagal to possess and transport. Just illegal to transfer, meaning you can't sell or buy them in MD. Just means more of my money will flow to Delaware. I already to all my major shopping there not to mention my losses at the track/casino

VNVGUNNER · Mar 26, 2007

AK are you on Kent Island or up in Chestertown ?

Norton · Mar 26, 2007

It's OK to own, possess, use or transport in MD....just not buy or sell.

I can see where the confusion is with the word "transfer". Transfer means to transfer ownership.

Buy them at Dulles all you want or hop over to VA Arms in Manassas if you can't make the show.

I agree with you. If I load more than a 20 round mag, I get sloppy with my concentration.

VNVGUNNER · Mar 26, 2007

I like 20's when shooting on the bench. :gun1:
