Hey everyone,
Yet another "which mag can I have in the PRM" thread, but this one's a bit different: I bought a beautiful unissued SKS at the show this past weekend, and bought a 30 round mag as well. I originally bought a metal mag, that had no distinguishing marks on it, nor any date stamp or serial number. The dealer I bought it from is a Mass FFL, so I "assume" that it was pre ban. The problem is, the metal mag didn't fit the gun (wouldn't lock into the action and feed rounds properly), so I contacted the dealer and swapped it for a plastic mag (also 30 round). The plastic mag works perfectly, but it appears to be unused ("new"?) and, like the rest of us, I don't want to become a felon overnight for having some "post-ban" mag. I also assume that the hi-cap laws apply to long guns, pre-ban or not. I searched the forums at length for any info on SKS mag types, and came up short. Could someone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks!
