Billions. Just reading posts Jun 2016 #7

True, but we could prohibit the transfer of them as well. Adrahil Jun 2016 #11

You can also 3D print a machine gun receiver. We still do not allow their unfettered sale. NT Adrahil Jun 2016 #29

You can print and machine recievers Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #31

Correct. But not machine gun receivers. Adrahil Jun 2016 #33

I agree. Adrahil Jun 2016 #9

Yes, of course. Adrahil Jun 2016 #17

I imagine 3d printing them would be easy Travis_0004 Jun 2016 #53

Large cap mags have been restricted in the past, and currently are in several states. jmg257 Jun 2016 #13

Correction. Straw Man Jun 2016 #60

The way I read the relic mags would be say a 15rounder for M1 carbine...nice relic, but they make jmg257 Jun 2016 #63

You have a point. The thing about AR15 that makes them useful to mass shooters is their aikoaiko Jun 2016 #15

I was never much into deer hunting myself but my dad killed many of them doc03 Jun 2016 #22

You don't need a 30-round mag to hunt. A five round mag in a AR will do fine. aikoaiko Jun 2016 #23

You need a 30 round magazine for self defence? How about a 12 ga. doc03 Jun 2016 #24

I'd much prefer an AR for accuracy and terminal ballistics than a shotgun in most situations. aikoaiko Jun 2016 #26

A knowledgable poster may be along shortly to inform you a Daisy BB rifle is more effective. Marengo Jun 2016 #45

Magazines are metal or plastic boxes Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #27

the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 limited magazine size to 10 rounds mwrguy Jun 2016 #39

And grandfathered the billions out there Duckhunter935 Jun 2016 #40

Yup. I think AR mags were 30-50 bucks Travis_0004 Jun 2016 #57

Kind of. Normal capacity magazines were legal to sell if they were made prior to 1994. Just reading posts Jun 2016 #42
