Any one know of a company selling pre ban mags?
Dabears 85 is right on.....those are Colt pre ban mags. Go for the six, its a great price for Colt pre 1994 mags. If they wont ship to you try http://www.kyimports.com/index.php?m...p5rm78v8gvr35b
(definitely pre ban)I purchased 10 at $23 each, free shipping and they were a pleasure on the phone.......they are new. Apparently their are tons of these stockpiled around. Good luck.
If the mags from sportsman's guide are pre-ban why won't they ship to NY?
I've only seen legit preban in NY with dates stamped on the lower part of the body.
It says New Manufacture, so... not pre-ban.
Wow,,thats good info !! I live in NY myself and am "always" looking for good Mags,(Pre-Ban) maybe with Tax time around the corner I will grab a few extra mags,,ya can never have to many !!!:D I have bought a few Pre-Bans off M4 Carbine,,,but they seem to go pretty fast,,,now I hate to mention "TOS",,but if ya snoop around over there,,I have bought quite a few Pre-Ban Mags over there,,and never paid more that $12 bucks per Mag,,,:) But then I add a new spring,,MagPul follower,,so I'm probably almost up to the price of a New mag.:confused: Keep looking and you will find them !!
Not sure, But I ordered the same ones(no date stamp, green followers and same floor plate markings which are pre-ban) from KY Imports. In fact the receipt from KY Imports has them as pre-ban as well as the site....I live in NY and I am LEO and I believe these are GTG. Okay why do I need pre bans? Three reasons, To pass them down to my kids, Retirement and I love Old Colt mags!:D Perhaps because they are not legal in NYC so they just make it inclusive. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe all Colt AR mags produced after Sept 94 are stamped with the date. Also Colt was was bought by CF Holding Corporation, a group of private investors led by Shared Technologies Inc. chairman Anthony Autorino, purchased the Firearms Division in 1989 for about $100 million. The newly independent company was christened Colt's Manufacturing Company, Inc. Thus the change of the name on the floor plates. No date stamp and old plate"colt firearms division colt industries" gtg IMO. In fact I will buy ten more! Especially after the recent Arizona shooting. It might take years but I think in the long run they will limit the capacity to ten again, sorry just my opinion. Especially if this happens again in the near future!
I think they are trying to say they are new, meaning not used. Some of the people working for these company's that post adds don't know about the product they are selling! Certainly don't do the research or have the wisdom that we collectively have. Allot of people dont know much about what they are doing and are just in it for the pay check. Lets not forget your average Cop in NY ain't going to know the difference between a pre ban mag and a post ban mag either. Thats why I like the Colt pre ban mags too, a simple goggle search. Hey new idea:sarcastic: you have one phone call and a google search!
