Are Pre-Ban Glock Mags Still In Demand.....

I live in MA where preban mags still matter, with that said if anyone is willing to sell their old Glock 17 preban mags to me it would be much appreciated.

This picture shows the difference between preban and postban mags. All U notch mags are pre ban, for Square notch Glock mags to be preban they have to have the lower caliber markings. During the Assault Weapon Ban, the caliber markings were moved up to make room for the Restricted LEO Use markings. U notch mags are not as desirable as they do not drop free, and if you look in the pic of the second mag where you can see molding marks connecting from one witness hole to the next, it's very common to form cracks along those marks and it will eventually run the whole length of the mag. I have had this happen to a Glock 19 U notch mag personally as well as witnessing a number of other mags like this.

Dragline 45 I think I have some preban mags. I will have to look either G19 or 17 not sure maybe both. Round back design on them. I live in the next state NH if your close by.
 
Dragline45 - nice pix. Once again, a picture is worth a thousand words.

This whole thread reaffirms my belief the magazine ban, the exceptions to the ban and the enforcement of the ban is one of the most silly laws on the books.

About the ONLY thing positive about the restriction is I suppose it gives the writers on the CSI shows something more for the lab techs to check on.

"Gibbs!" said Abby breathlessly, "I spent two days analyzing and researching the magazines the suspect had in his magazine carrier and determined one of them is NOT a pre-ban so while we can't get him for the murder we CAN hold him forever and a day on a restriction violation."
 
I am in a 15 round state (Colorado) .We can still buy Magazine repair kits which makes the whole 15 round limit a joke. All it did to me was make me lose my free 2 mags from the Springfield giveaway.
