Is this a legal option to make a 15-round mag a NJ compliant 10-round mag?

Yes. Outside of NJ.

The party's over.

Why not in NJ, if you glue the baseplate?

Because, in order to modify a 15 round mag while in NJ, one would have to possess it first while in the state, which is a no no.

Let me ask a different way, in hopes of getting a more direct answer.  If someone owned a 15-round mag in NJ with this device installed as instructed, prior to the >10-round restriction, would it be legal to possess and own in NJ under the new law?

The “fix” is supposed to be irreversible.

Yes, but only if you epoxy, rivet, blind pin etc... the baseplate shut, so becomes permanent.

It seems a shame to ruin a good mag. Have you had an encounter with the Magazine Police?

No, but I wouldn't want to made an example of by an AG with political aspirations. I'm not chancing it with baseless red flag laws that would allow the anti-gun UPS driver to turn me in because he's pissed about my heavy ORM-D boxes.

Along those lines, has anyone heard at the ranges of someone being busted with 10+ mags in the last year since the law took affect? I'm sure some casual shooters, who aren't aware, are still going to the ranges with 10+ mags.

Has anyone heard of spot checks of mags anywhere in the state by LEOs? Murphy isn't looking to make an example of anyone, in the name of "protecting the children"?

Firearms in NJ will always have that factor of wrong place wrong time. 

And yes, they would love to make an example out of someone.

I used these mag blocks and epoxied them to the base plates.. hoping one day I can break them free.

Break free with acetone, mineral spirits, WD, gas?

Force, and maybe a drill. The epoxy is where the magblock/guide enters the baseplate. 

Hopefully  I can just punch it through, don't care if it breaks. The baseplate itself might need some dremeling to clean off the epoxy

Dremel and a plus whatever base pad after trashing the old base plate?

Gotcha...thanks

I would think most DA's would prosecute, but if appealed they would drop charges hoping this doesn't go to a higher court.

They would offer a plea deal first though, to save face.

I would like to think that it’s more likely to be used as an add on to a higher crime. On it face it seems like more of a nuisance charge. BUT! You never know. 

I firmly believe that in the end it will be removed as an infringement.
