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

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.
