AnthonyC83 0 Posted March 2, 2013 Just out of curiosity.. I know many of us including myself have 20 and 30 round AR magazine bodies that have been modified down to 10 or 15. Have you ever been questioned while at a range by an officer or possibly njsp themselves? Because obviously to the eye they appear to be "high capacity" and one wouldn't know just by looking from a distance that they've been modified. Main reason for asking is, I've never been to range 14 and I'm planning a trip. I have heard from some people that they are extremely nosey as to the legality of your stuff and have even called the police on some occasions. All my stuff is 100% legal but I wouldn't want to expose my fiancé and friends to a possible situation so if that's the case I'd just leave the mags home and bring a couple 10 rounders.

mcm308 0 Posted March 2, 2013 I've thought about this as well. 20's aren't that bad but 30's I'm sure have some people curious on the line counting how many rounds you fire before a reload... Molon Labe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anselmo 87 Posted March 2, 2013 A RO at Range 14 came over to investigate my stock 10 round long magazine for my 15-22 rifle. I appeased his curiosity and he continued his other RO duties. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bullpin 0 Posted March 2, 2013 Im pretty sure that the answers here will all be NO. I dont understand why everyone always worries about these things. I know they are the law, but they are stupid laws that no one ever checks on unless you are in trouble for something else first. If an ro catches you who gives a rats ass.

voyager9 3,439 Posted March 2, 2013 The RO asked me about my pinned 20's when I was at R14 on Wednesday. He mentioned that they get folks from out of state that come in with illegal mags. Once I answered him he moved on. Not bothered at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Dirt 3 Posted March 2, 2013 I was questoned a few years ago by a RO and I stated to him in a nice way I dont have to answer that question. He then walked away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tony357 386 Posted March 2, 2013 The problem at range 14 is they are known to call the state police on you... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intercooler 41 Posted March 2, 2013 then don't go to range 14. This is exactly the reason i won't buy those big body magazines...too much attention. Remember that in NJ, "he who engages in firearms, does so at his peril" as the court says..so you are presumed guilty till you prove otherwise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjd832 146 Posted March 2, 2013 RO-"excuse me sir, how many rounds does that magazine hold?"

pjd832 146 Posted March 2, 2013 The problem at range 14 is they are known to call the state police on you... Sounds like they must have too many members or make too much money...Wth would you try and cause trouble for paying customers/members in the community over something as stupid as mag capacity.... I mean if someone showed up with a full auto suppressed sbr sure....but with 5-10-15/30 mags being produced for a long time now what cave have these people been in?

Candide 0 Posted March 2, 2013 Tell em they hold 100 rounds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,439 Posted March 2, 2013 What's wrong with them asking as long as its polite and not interrupting? Asking how many it holds is way different from making you show them. Maybe they want make sure they, and their customers don't get jammed up. I imagine the headlines "gun nut with high cap mag discovered at local range" would cause everyone some drama.

They really shouldnt care if someone has 30 round mags or not. Personally I don't care if you have a damn drum mag next me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tell them 30 and let them call NJSP. if the cops have time to waste to roll out and investigate, so be it. (While Newark and Camden crumble.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P4Plenty 1 Posted March 2, 2013 Again another vague law about the legality of pinned pmags. Not worth the court battle if you get an over zealous cop willing to charge you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P4Plenty 1 Posted March 2, 2013 A large capacity ammunition magazine that has been permanently altered so that it is not capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition will cease to be defined as a "large capacity ammunition magazine." An ammunition magazine, which has been temporarily blocked or modified from holding more than 15 rounds, as by a piece of wood or a pin, is still considered to be a "large capacity ammunition magazine."

TheLugNutZ 21 Posted March 2, 2013 They just dont care, its on government property. I think they lose money there actually. They have asked me before about the pmags and i just tell them yeah they are pinned and they move along. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inyuendo 0 Posted March 2, 2013 I've been questioned a few times at R14 regarding my 15/30 PMags and the pinned stock on my AR. I just tell them that they're pinned, and ask if they would like to inspect them to make sure. So far none of the RO's have bothered to actually check.

Krdshrk 3,878 Posted March 2, 2013 I've gotten inquiries at R14 as well. Just said "they're blocked to 15" and that was it. The mags in question were C-products blocked mags and they actually look like 40 round bodies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njpilot 671 Posted March 2, 2013 none of their F**king business. I would want a refund. +100 When I was a member there and shot with 15/20, both .223 and .308 I was never asked. Glad I don't give them my money anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
