    PMAGs are obviously not pre-ban magazines. How does the state know that a legit pre-ban magazine has been in the state since before the ban? You could go out of state tomorrow, buy one, and bring it back.

    I used the Pmag as an example, an easy one. The same applies to others such as a BCM marked mag or any other example that wasn't manufactured before that cut off date. Some have date stamps that may "make it easy" On the other hand though if brand "X" has been made with the same design features and no date stamp for the last 30 years, then there's no other way to know other than a receipt to go with it and witnessed purchase, etc.

    I understand that, but what is to say earlier gen GLOCK OEM mags or USGIs find their way into the state after that date, how on Earth can a DA prove an object was there prior to a fixed point in time. Obvious later produced mags would be a dead give away.

    This is moving away from the OP question, so I'll answer that the mags have no value in CA since they're illegal to sell or import. CA "large capacity" magazine laws are a prime example of gun control ridiculousness. It's unlawful to import, purchase, manufacture, give, lend or sell >10-round capacity magazines since 2000. However, notice there is no mention of possessing, repairing or disposing. Legally, you can repair a magazine that you possessed since prior to 2000. If you stepped on your aluminum AR mag, you can replace the body. If the spring wears out, you can buy a new spring. However, it has recently (2014) become illegal to import parts "kits" which contain all the components to assemble a "large capacity" magazine.

    There are potential scenarios within the law that result in unmarked/undated magazines but there's just as much potential for getting into trouble due to the confusing way the laws are written.

    Also note that, although legal to possess, "large capacity" magazines are deemed a nuisance and can be confiscated by law enforcement without recompense.

    Please pray for California. (Probably to break off and sink into the ocean.)
