The following was clipped from rec.guns, and represents and interesting concpet. Anyone got any additional info?
<snip> I thought I saw a message here a few weeks ago that someone was building 1911 frames that would accept sten gun mags. I haven't found any more information since then , but it seems like a brilliant way around a loophople in the magazine ban : build a gun that will accept the cheapest and most plentiful magazines available. If true , this seems to me an act of pure genius. I'm kinda lukewarm on hi-caps myself , but it would piss off a lot of antis , including our beloved president , so I'm all for it. Does anyone know more about this ? Thanks, Brian Souza ------------------ -Essayons |

Armalite makes a rifle that does it. Their AR10 can use modified M14 mags.

Bryan-
"Modified (hig cap) mags"? I've got a feeling that will land you in Club Fed as quick as home-making new ones Rich. |

That is an interesting question, Rich. I am not under the impression that there is anything illegal about modifying a pre-ban hi-cap.
Example: adding a +2 floorplate to a Pre-ban Glock mag is still legal, but putting one on a Post-ban 10-rounder is not. Furthermore, old mags can be "repaired." The ban, as I understand it, prohibits the manufacture or importation of mags with a capacity of greater than 10 rounds for sale to "civilians". "Civilians" can still transfer and play with the old mags. If someone has a definitive answer, please post it. ------------------ -Essayons |
