I bought a newer gun a while back that didn't have prebans or 10 round mags available. The gunsmith put in some kind of plate and rod to keep it at ten rounds, but they all broke and reverted to standard mags after one range trip.
It's not a carry gun, just a range toy so I just use them as is.
In reality the issue is that the treat would be enough to coerce a plea bargain, especially if the choice were "take the non-PP deal or risk trial".Some make it relatively impossible to defeat whereas I am told that a few make it relatively easy.
I'm just saying that any mag marked 12, 15, 17, 19, etc. on witness holes would give significant ammo (pardon the pun) to a rambunctious DA and conviction is quite possible. I've had dealings with one such A-hole ADA (but it was a pleasure putting him in his place in front of the judge!) and am aware of others by their actions.
I want a PS90 and this is why I don’t have one
This is the answer, we don't know. It appears that if the mfr does it it is OK. I do believe that if you or I do it, that a MA DA would have an easy time convicting us . . . but that is just one person's belief.
They have 10 round mags for ps90.Same. I really want one as well, but a 10/50 mag makes me sad.

Every single one. Strange...Every single mag broke?
Ha, that is retarded. That has got to be the most egregious example of the mag law stupidity in MA. That 50 rd mag in that caliber is the whole point of that gun.Yes, that's what I was referring to with the 10/50 mags. With the design of the PS90, the 10rd blocked mags are still as long as the full capacity. So basically 10/50.
If the ADA can knock out the block with a ball-peen hammer and load the magazine to its full (over 10 rounds) capacity in front of gullible jurors, he/she could very well secure a conviction. Most MA residents know little about firearms, other than they are extremely dangerous and should be used by military and police only. Massachusetts sheeple have been completely pussified!This is the answer, we don't know. It appears that if the mfr does it it is OK.

Friend in MA says that blocks were how his VP9 was massified....
I have a canik tp9sf, I bought 4 more mags online and they say 17 round on them but they have a dimple on both sides of the mag to keep you from loading to 10 rounds.
Maybe in your case but his are factory mags and from the outside look indistinguishable from real mags. Since that post I got myself a VP9, but with American mags. I have seen guns with the funny looking mags of which you speak, but his older VP9 does not have those.I have the VP9 and that's not true. Not on the factory mags anyway. The magazine body between standard and low capacity are different.
So to understand you correctly you could receive "DISASSEMBLED" mags as parts in the mail with no issues? Or go to a free state and disassemble regular capacity mags then come back to Massachusetts and be legal?Unless the magazine is disassembled to be rendered a "part" or modified to be crippled capacity before being brought into the state you are already in clear felony territory just by possessing it without even getting into the question if the modification to downgrade the capacity is legally defensible.

But this topic really hinges on the fact that if you are in the position of being scrutinized over a modified follower, it's probably just a throw away add-on charge and you're screwed whatever you do.
Was this an unlicensed defendant charged with possession of an AR or an LTC holder charged with possession of a post ban AW?The thought of a mag block, epoxied or not, reminds me of that one case in the last year or two where someone was brought up over a fixed mag AR, and the cop working with the DA mangled the fixed mag out of the lower just to show it could then hold a standard mag.
Or they "want to get you". Imagine you are in a tactical encounter; solid evidence your actions were totally legal self defense. You can count on your gun being examined and if they want to get you, you could expect the system to go after the mag/AW issue (if possible) absent the ability to convict on something else ... especially if it i apolitically sensitive incident.it's probably just a throw away add-on charge and you're screwed
Some such mags also have cuts where the indentation isn't. This is so removal of the indent will cause the mag to fall apart rather than jump in capacity.My mags have an oval channel pressed into either side of them that runs vertically the length of the mag. This indentation prevents the cartridges from stacking as wide as they do in mags absent this channel which reduces the capacity. It turns it into more of a vertical stack mag similar to a 1911.
