So who would chance this.

 

Getting a place out of state to disassemble USGI mags without caliber or round markings on it.

 

Replace the follower with this.

Laser engrave Caliber: 458 SOCOM 9 rounds

 

 

To me, it's as legal (or illegal) as glock 21 mags. But I'd like to hear your opinions.

You must mean Glock 22 mags. 

Yes. Typo. G22 mags

What is the issue with Glock 22 magazines? Aren't they 15 round capacity 40 s&w?

Yes. But they will hold 17 rounds of 9mm and function in a glock 17 or work with a 9mm conversion barrel

IMHO, the 458 mags are legal.

. That's what I'm thinking. If that follower doesn't let .223 feed at all that's even better.

So the argument is that if I take any magazine I own and Jam another caliber into another than the one one marked on it and it feeds in a gun it wasn't designed for, I'm in possession of a large capacity feeding device? By that logic, I should never have more than 15 ammo links in my house at a time.

How could a set of links that only holds 15 rounds reliably feed more than 15 rounds?

What are ammo links?

Well I wouldn't make that argument unless you had a g22 with 9mm conversion and didn't own pinned 9mm mags

Assume that I have 16 links in total. You can in a matter of seconds link them all together.

 

The fact that I have them currently setup in a configuration that is no more than 15 doesn't matter since at any time, without tools, I could make a 16 round feeding device.

 

My point is that the law is dumb as a bag of hammers.

They are cloth or steel connectors to hold ammunition together for a belt fed gun.

Usually used for full auto weapons but some semi auto examples exist which are NJ legal.

Even a Glock 19 will hold 16 rounds of 9mm and feed reliably. That doesn't make it illegal. Or else a lot of you people are criminals. IMO, if the magazine was designed to hold less than 16 rounds of a certain caliber as it's intended use, it is legal.

We are all criminals. I definitely think these replacement followers and a little laser engraving is better than trying to fit them in my 15rd pinned AR mags. And I have a lot of g19 mags.

If anyone cares for an update I have verified you cannot load 223 into these magazines with the red follower.  if you put one round in the magazine it goes directly to the center.   if you force it to the side and put a second round in the mag, it doesn't stack correctly and jams up the mag

 

Now, get a 40 round 5.56mm mag and swap the follower.

No. I just need to have an identical number of 30rd mags pinned to 15. Wonder if I can find a place that does that.
