Mag parts

[Deezul]

In MA. I have a couple preban 30 Rd AR mags. Are you allowed to change springs and followers or is that a no go?

I don't know if there is even a written law regarding magazine "repair". It is, I think, the general consensus of the more knowledgable folks here on NES that spring/follower/bottom plate replacement is permissible.

IANAL..but I think that a lot of pre-ban magazines were basically stamped metal before they were even made into functional magazines.

MA AG has not made a public decision. IIRC the feds would allow you to replace any broken part and in the case of the body breaking you had to render inoperable (crush) and keep the old one.

Chris is correct. No written law or guidance is or ever will be forthcoming. ASS-U-MPTIONS are that this is OK to do, but nobody has "tested" it yet in MA.

I was looking at anti tilt followers. Seems like it's not worth it in MA.

Replacing a follower is fine, just do it. Only the mag bodies were ever stamped anyway. Don't over think it.
