It ships with a 10-round Magpul SR25 magazine, but the AR-10 has been around since the 60s so the Pre-1994 “Normal Capacity” mags should be around?I believe they're are two types of magwells no? Good luck in your search I think I looked once and said F that.

How that tavor 7 shoot?Just got a Tevor 7 and was wonder were to look for MA legal pre-1994 20+ round mags that work with the rifle?
Thanks
You’d be better off trying to find the lost city of El Dorado than trying to find an original AR-10 mag that fits modern AR10s/SR25. Pre-ban selection is terrible because Armalite was playing with M1A compatible lowers and there really weren’t any other games in town aside from KAC.
You can convert M1A/M14 mags to fit in SR-25 pattern mag wells by removing a hole for the mag catch. And you can add bolt hold open capability by using old Armalite-made conversion followers and cutting a little of the magazine spine. The followers are hard to find, but pop up on Gunbroker sometimes.
Negative. Magwells are different dimensions. Modified m14 mags work for Armalite AR-10b only. The AR-10a follows the SR-25 pattern.
Interesting they say they're MA compliant. I can't see you not getting jammed up for that.Try Cal Mag Pros and take the Mag block out for cleaning?
The double negative through me off a little bit. Essentially, you are saying you can get jammed up despite these being MA compliant. But if you have the mag blocker around you can just say you were cleaning the mags and left the blocker out momentarily. It’s a small tab that fits in the follower that can be removed. In the case of Glocks, it can be cut to cater to different models. Completely MA-compliant, legit and legal.Interesting they say they're MA compliant. I can't see you not getting jammed up for that.
The modded M1A/M14 mags were used in the second generation Armalite Ar-10B's not the original pattern magazines which the SR-25 use.You’d be better off trying to find the lost city of El Dorado than trying to find an original AR-10 mag that fits modern AR10s/SR25.

EDIT: the info below may result in unreliable feeding or bolt catch problems. You’d also want to cut away some of the feed lips.

The original waffle mags are what Knights used and put new guts in before they started producing their own. Knights sold both styles before 1994.
I can take pictures of El Dorado.
Fair, I just think since they're not permanently modified to only hold 10, I wouldn't trust it. We had the example where one of the fixed mag AR lowers was destroyed to show it could accept a detachable mag, and a man charged with an AWB violation. I think opening the mag as designed will be much less of a stretch.The double negative through me off a little bit. Essentially, you are saying you can get jammed up despite these being MA compliant.

These are both pre-94 Knights mags.
They are out there you just have to keep looking, I was able to get mine for a "normal"price considering that new KAC mags are $95 bucks each. Believe it or not some gun people aren't out to ass-rape people in ban-states. Dont get me wrong most are, but there are some that aren't also. LOL.

Having lived through the Clinton years this always struck me as odd. The AR-10B was released by the new armalite (which was not the same as the original company) a few years after the Clinton gun ban took effect. Armalite modified M14 magazines for use in the AR-10B. But at that time Pre 1994, 20 round FN- FAL magazines were plentiful and cheap, less than $10 each. But M14 magazines were selling for about $30 before armalite modified them. After modification, close to $50.
My bet is 922(r). FAL mags are typically imported. There have been multiple US-made FAL mags, such as Moses Mags, and DSA is currently making mags for their own guns, however, these are exceptions, not the rule. An imported FAL mag adds three foreign parts to a 922(r) list. With most FAL mags being imported, maybe there was uncertainty at the time about the future status of mag availability, whereas M14 mags were made here and aren't really going anywhere. Even in places like Mass.
That and FAL mags are pretty different from M14 mags. FAL mags have a male locking catch on the front; M14 mags have a female hole that locks into the receiver.
all true but since the Armalite AR-10-B was us made those three foreign parts would not have matttered and also consider that hundreds of thousands of FAL mags were already in the us and once the mag had to be modified it would have made little difference. As I recal close to the end of the Clinton ban M14 mags were getting scare bad prices were rising. Finally there has been mixed messages about 922 (r) some say the mag is one part. others say as you do that it is 3

Do you know if there are any differentiating markings on the non-waffle mag compared to post-ban SR-25 mags?
I just heard back from KAC about preban identification. They were extremely prompt and helpful:
“ We have gone through many magazine changes over the years. The Waffle Mag and the 1st Generation SR-25 Magazines are both pre ban. The 1st gen magazines are the ones that overlap at the front with spot welds that look like a USGI mag type weld. These are the only two magazines we know of that are pre ban that were made.”
