Crappy mags that will wear out quickly, may or may not feed well, interfere with prone shooting and may get me in trouble with the law....versus 20 rounds of very reliable well feeding mags that will last forever and 100% legit.
With MA being so anal about these things I don't see the risk/value ratio being very favorable.

20-round mags? What are you referring to? Standard Ruger 10/22 mags are 10 rounds.
Odd thing is that I've seen new mags and compared them against mine and I can't tell the difference in features except that mine are old and well used looking.
Maybe this is a question appropriate for the gun laws section but...when I received my FID card way back when I remember that I could buy any .22lr Rifle because the whole 10rd max law didn't apply to anything 22lr or smaller. I asked if I could put a "banana clip" magazine on my 597 and my instructor told me hell you could put a pineapple magazine on there for all I care because it doesn't matter. Now why are these .22 magazines considered high cap considering they're 22 mags? I can try to look up the legislation on it. What say you?

“Large capacity feeding device”, (i) a fixed or detachable magazine, box, drum, feed strip or similar device capable of accepting, or that can be readily converted to accept, more than ten rounds of ammunition or more than five shotgun shells; or (ii) a large capacity ammunition feeding device as defined in the federal Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. section 921(a)(31) as appearing in such section on September 13, 1994. The term “large capacity feeding device” shall not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with,.22 caliber ammunition.
On gunbroker there was someone selling a pre-ban 25 rd mag that was in the original packaging that had a copyright date of 1990 or something. In my mind that would be pretty decent proof.
I personally don't think very highly of the aftermarket mags. The plastic wears very easily on the feed lip and the 25 round ones are too tall for prone shooting. A decent solution for more capacity are those clips that you allow you to connect 2 factory mags back to back. With the extended mag release lever swapping them over is very easy.

Try to ensure that they are in fact pre bans by speaking with the seller and posing that question but definately make sure they are not marked (LE/Govt use only) or dated in any way.
And don't post your plans to break the law on the internet.Makes sense. Thanks. Pictures weren't necessary really but hell thanks for the effort. Looking at this situation now I'd say same rules apply with the 10/22 mags as do AR mags. Keep quiet about it and try to pretend like you thought they were preban and dont play show and tell with everyone and their mother. MHO

Could you please explain how to do this. Do you have a link to any site that sells this extension?
I wasn't aware that many SWAT teams deployed with the 10/22!!
