Coming from NJ, and extensively studying this issue, I can answer these questions definitively.
Acording to the Attorney General's directive to all LEO officers.
TEMPORARY blocking of High capacity magazines to the required 15 rounds is LEGAL.
SUGESTION :
I refrain from using wood blocks in my magazines, they can atract and hold moisture.
I purchase the soft Vinyl white plastic cuting boards from discount stores or your home kitchen center.
I measure the inside dimensions of my magazine springs, leave a litle room for play, and then cut the cutting board on my table saw with a plywood fine tooth blade to that thickness.
After cuting them to thickness, you are left with strips about sixteen inches long and the proper thickness.
Now all you have to do is determine the length you need for the magazine block to restrict it, or make it bottom out at 15 rounds.
Cut it to length, take a litle emory cloth and soften all edges and corners.
And in no time at all you have a non binding block, that is self lubricating, non moisture gathering, and cheap.
Hope this helps.......and for those using High capacity CURVED magazines....there is No reason why you couldn't put a curve to your pattern and cut it out with a bandsaw or a whatever you have in the shop.
Hope this helps.
I also put all my 20 and 30 rounders....on the carpet with each of the blocks prominently displayed on top of each magazine.
I then take a picture and secure it away.
This way if trouble ever comes my way and some overzealous DA or LEO...wants to brake my balls, after confiscation! By removing them secretively.
I have a picture dated and signed by witneses in a sealed envelope in my bank safety deposit box.
It will make for some interesting debate in a court of law if they ever try to mess with me.
Of course, the above is purely precautionary , since I am completely law abiding and do nothing to warant any law inforcement agency to investigate or pursue me.
