Perm a magazine to a lower

[dmaxfireman]

I live in the great state of CT and as such I cannot build an AR pistol without permanently affixing a mag in the magwell due to the 50oz restriction. After a bit of searching and reading I still could not find the best way to go about doing this? Epoxy, pin? If possible I would like whatever I do to be reversible down the road without any permanent damage to the lower. Or would I be better off just finding a garbage lower and accept the fact that I am going to "ruin" it by perming a mag into it. I just need something to get me by with my SBR uppers until my Form 1's are approved.

How are you going to load it with the magazine permanently attached?

You would have to top loaded it by flipping the barrel up all the time. Dumb laws!

Why not take a California Bullet Button and epoxy the Bullet Button when the mag is locked in. It will make it permanent without damaging the lower.

That's an awesome idea! Can anybody confirm if this would be an acceptable / legal solution?

I have a prince 50 maglock. It uses a set screw in the mag release and once it's screwed in all the way the rifle becomes top-loading. Of course it can be reversed when unscrewed but I would think epoxy would be permanent enough (although you should double check that).

Use the set screw but use some thread lock on it.

I don't think thread locker would count as it is designed to be removed. Epoxy, on the other hand, just might pass muster. As a last resort you can tack it in and remove later with very minimal damage if you know a competent armorer in your area.

Your best bet would be to contact a local gun smith.

A bullet button (or the like) filled in with JB Weld may be a good option.

Epoxy or the red "permanant" thread lock both "give up" with heat applied.

You could also do a bullet button and have a welder cover the hole. A grinder would take off the bead for later removal. Welding qualifies on permanantly attatching a muzzle device.
