Have you offered to epoxy the mag for her, in store?
This is why - if you're a Maryland resident who likes guns - you develop a long standing relationship with your LGS, rather than always trying to save a couple of pizza's worth of money when buying a $1000+ gun. Because they'll properly block the factory mags for you, send you happily on your way, and you both know there will be more business later.
This.The first rule about magazine club...
Are FFLs legally allowed to sell high cap mags to a resident of another state?
HmmmmmHow did you have your high capacity magazines transferred with the gun?
Went to pick up CZ Shadow 2 today and I'm told that this FFL wouldn't put magazine block to make it ten rounds and would not transfer magazines otherwise. Not wanting to send to VA address either. I asked if she can keep the base plates and I'll take home mag tubes, spring and feeder (aka not magazine) andbuy new base plates since this will be for a competition anyway. Nope.
I asked her to send to the other FFL in MD that may be willing to do something. We shall see.

After the firearm transfer is complete what happens to the mag?
Does the FFL:
destroy the mag
throw it in the trash
Leave it on the shelf til MGA comes to their senses
ship or take it out of state for transfer or sale
accidentally give it to a friend or employee?
Her shop, her rules. She is protecting a license.
Once the mag is separated from the rifle do the rules change? Can MSP still dictate she not ship the mag out of state as a stand alone item? FFL’s ship firearms out of state why not mags?
How would MSP ever track an unserialized part?
Surprised your FFL in Maryland got the gun with hicap mags in the first place. Instead of looking for a way to go around the law should have just ordered from one of our IPs. They would have ordered you the “Marylinistan Compliant” version and you would have save a lot of heartburn, hassle and money. As been said in this forum repeatedly “take a trip out of state and buy mags to your hearts content”.
OP ordered off the internet and had it shipped, without checking first.
Wonder from where. Everytime I check on places like Gunbroker or Buds I get a “not for sale to residents of Marylinistan” if I select a high cap version. No problems if I select the stock # of weapon with 10 rounders. Wonder if it was a private seller? These dang 2020 members!

That said, I have had mags transferred to me as parts kits, where I take them to my condo in Delaware (*rollseyes*), and legally reassemble them.
