Mag Double Legality

[DutchV]

By this logic, why own any magazines larger than 10 rounds? Why risk it if MD has a general 10 round limit?
If you can buy a 30-40 round magazine out of state, why cant I assemble a 60 round magazine out of state as well?

Please re-read what I wrote.
It's perfectly legal to own a magazine over ten round capacity. And yes, you can assemble a sixty round magazine if you want to. Just do it out of MD, and it's fine.

He means don't risk doing it in maryland even though no one would likely ever know or be able to prove it. If you want to own something like this you have to get/assemble it in a state where it is legal and then bring it in. Possession is legal.

But again, this product is bad. The joint between the 2 will be a major weak spot, especially with all the weight when fully loaded. I would bet that feeding will not be 100% with 2 springs joined together. There are much better options out there.

I see what you're saying. But I'm not asking about the alternatives. I just want to know the legality of the mag double

I can't imagine the lower set of feed lips not causing the spring to hangup. I would be surprised if this thing actually worked at all.

So, now you do. It's perfectly legal (if pointless, truly) to possess. Just don't procure, or put it together in Maryland.

It's not a useful product. It's like empty calories.

So, with that in mind, you can get empty calories AND assemble this contraption in the McDonald's parking lot in Gettysburg. Perfect!

But if you're driving to the designated mag maintenance parking spot at that McDonalds, just visit a show or shop in PA and buy something that's much more structurally sound, aesthetically pleasing, and functionally reliable.

But if you must, visit MagDonald's.

That pictures great. Really exposes the ridiculousness of the law.

Perfectly legal to procure it in MD. Perfectly legal to possess it in MD.

This isn't any different than a mag coupler. https://magpul.com/firearm-accessor...pmag30genm2moe-genm3.html?mp_global_color=118

You still end up with two 30 round magazines, bound together.

Does duct taping two 30 round magazines together in MD make it manufacturing a 60?

IANAL, just asking questions.

It makes one mag feed into another, doubling useful capacity. That's how it's advertised, at least.

I think it’s dumb, but it’s perfectly legal to possess in MD.

Because it does not just join them together, it feeds from the combined mags.

So basically, take 2x 30 round mags, and this device, and have a 60 round mag.

Why?

The lower follower will be against the feed lips and create a base plate for the lower spring.

Hey, we still talking about magazines???

 

[adit]

Does it come with the new spring you will need? I cannot watch the video at work.

From the Website.
Assembly is easy, you simply remove the baseplates from your magazines and then lock them together with the Mag Double, no tools required. You don’t need to modify the magazines in any way, and you can combine them or revert them back to their normal configuration in under a minute.

Now one Magazine has the opening down and one is up into the rifle. How can it feed all 60? You need to remove the ASSY and re-insert it with the bottom magazine opening facing up.

This post had me confused.

Because it does not just join them together, it feeds from the combined mags.

So yes, this would be considered manufacturing/assembling an illegal magazine, if assembled in MD.

A crappy assembly video from the manufacturer. You can't see half of what they do. Works well in the video.

I tend to agree. I"m starting to believe the lawmakers are not well intentioned.

Pretty soon you may also realize the sun rises in the Eastern sky. Most days it also sets in the West.

Welcome to the sh*tshow.

Also - that double magazine is ... no, just..no. The Magpul 60 round drumb is prob the best option for that kind of capacity. You would have to purchase it out of state. They are very reliable, but a b*tch to load or unload. I can load 5 - 30 round magazines in the time it takes to load one of those.

I thought I was the only one that hates loading the D-60. I've loaded and emptied mine exactly once in the three years since I bought that dang thing.

They don’t work with a Lula loader?

No

I dont have a Lula loader but iirc you have to wind the D-60 mag as you load the rounds and it gets progressively harder to load to the point where I thought I would break the loading lever.

Lula is great for all the Magpul and Surefire “clips” but not the drums.
