    Question Pre ban ar magazines

    I know this has been asked before but I need some pre ban ar magazines, specifically the 30 rounders. I live in crappy Western NY and can only have preban hi-cap mags.
    That means mags made before Sept '94
    My local and only gun shop that sells them gets freaking $65 for a single mag....talk about being raped! I will not pay that price for a single mag when I know I can get 3, 4 or more mags for the same price.
    So if anyone here is willing to sell to me or you know of a website that has them and will ship them to NY please let me know. I'm really in need, all I have is a single 10rnd mag that came with the rifle and that will not cut it.
    Thanks.

    You too?

    I live in Western New York as well, and I was just thinking about where I could find some pre-ban mags myself, although I prefer the 20-rounders. At least we won't be competing.

    Yes I realize this EE ad is from October of last year but as it's not marked sold you might try contacting the seller and see if they can help you out. Just a thought

    Thanks, I already did. I'm waiting to hear back. but am open to all suggestions....I'm hoping someone can help a fellow shooter out stuck in a socialist state for at least the next 3 years or so.

    Well I just moved out of NY several months ago and have 20 or so 30 round ar mags. All purchased from NY gun stores and are all pre-ban. I'm not a ar-15 magazine expert, but they are aluminium GI mags with some England and orlite made ones. Might be willing to sell them back to you NY guys. I payed 30 bucks apiece for them, but I think I can go cheaper, what do you guys think would be a fair price for them?

    I have 3 mags That I got somewhere? They have NO markings or Dates or Manufacturer Markings So I would think these are Pre-ban .

    two lock up in my Colt lower fine and one does Not, I think the mag lock Holes needed to be filed a little to get a positive lock .I have never used these and the springs are tight and feed lips look good.

    if you want them and I don't get in any trouble for mailing them to you (what are the laws there about receiving Mags in the mail?) they are yours for the Low price Of FREE I use Pmags so these just sit around collecting dust Look them over and tell me if you want them.Like I said you might have to do a little work to Make them lock up right PM me with your info

    I would think with these markings(Gov and Mil use only) and dates would be a No Go in a ban state. don't they have to be unmarked and made before 94??
