.22 Trommel mag? LAW?

lugerholsterrepair · 10-31-2010, 10:34 PM

Can you tell me if there are any federal laws on pistol magazine capacity. I am cosideriing making a Tromel clip for a Ruger 22 automatic pistol. But I want to stay legal. I can not find any for sale. If I can sell them this could be a great market

A good Friend sent me this...Does anyone know of a reason a person couldn't manufacture something like this legally?

Thanks, Jerry Burney

I know of no Federal laws but CA has a law against high cap mags.

Jerry..Yes of course..There may be state or city laws to consider.

I was also wondering if a liscence was needed for manufacturing a firearm part or?

This is covered under the BATF regulations under manufacture.

I do not believe, but would look it up; that 'magazines' hi-cap or not would be restricted by nthe batf. If so, then they would be illegal across the entire USA and not just a few restricted states.

There is a guy on the internet that took a S&W 9mm magazine and connected it to a Suomi drum. It was neat and fuctioned well.

Good luck in your endevour.
