JP12480 1 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 This may be a dumb question but would rather ask then set myself up for failure..... If I were to couple 2 Factory 10 rounders would it then double the "imported parts" seeing how 2 magazine bodies and followers are technically on the gun? Or does it still count as 2 impoted part since only 1 mag is technically installed at a time? Also, mag extensions that use the factory 5 rounder....... Im guessing this body is still considered "imported" since the whole body is not US made...... Digging too deep into it??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flatland Shooter 22 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Its more a case of keeping the number of foreign parts to 10 or less. So adding extra USA made parts that are not replacing foreign made parts will not help. Bill 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JP12480 1 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Right..... I didn't know if "factory" 10rounders were considered foreign and if I added 5 US parts and brought the number of foreign down to 9, would I then bring the foreign count back up by 4 if I added two factory 10 rounders on that were coupled......

Flatland Shooter 22 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I see what you mean. When coupled, will the foreign parts of the second magazine count against the max 10 parts allowed (body + floor plate + follower)? I would think the answer is "no" but since we are dealing with the BATF and an already stupid law, I really don't know. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JP12480 1 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Exactly... Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 if the parts are not on the list of the "countable" parts it doesn't matter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flatland Shooter 22 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 The mag body, base plate and follower are all on the countable list. But can they be counted twice with the coupled magazine? My gut says no, but my gut didn't go to law school.

theorangeplanet 968 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I don't think you can 'double' counted parts to go against. Just like taping an extra trigger or disconnector to the gun somewhere wouldn't increase your parts count, having a extra magazine body and follower attached wouldn't matter.

JP12480 1 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 That's what I would think too, there is no way to use it all at the same time..... so I would think each mag parts would count seperately. What are your thoughts about the mag extensions that use factory(imported) 5 rounders with a US made extension? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What are your thoughts about the mag extensions that use factory(imported) 5 rounders with a US made extension? JMHO, you are still using a foreign made magazine body (along with a USA made extension) so no change in the foreign made part count. But you will be using the USA made mag base plate so that is -1 foreign part. I've been watching for replacement followers (USA or foreign made) and so far have not been able to locate one. I'm putting together a couple of Firebird Precision's 15 round magazine conversions. Part of the change includes modifying the follower. Not tough if you take your time but I was concerned I would take one too far and be in need of a new follower. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bill A friend of mine makes lots of CNC parts in delrin and PTFE,,I have him working on a new USA made follower. I have no idea when it may come about, but it is being looked at. jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
