    Lots of talk here, and especially on the GOC and Calibre Mag Facebook pages, but SFA on CGN.

    I love it. It's almost like it's intentionally going unmentioned on CGN, because they'll have to admit that they may not be the best forum.

          Bah, you're right. I was searching for "Beowolf" not "Beowulf".

          Disregard and carry on, I can admit when I'm wrong.

          But now, something completely different:

          You want my Beowulf mags?

          I have no signature block.

                  Ok Petamocto you are the KING.
                  I just went and looked at the thread over there and right at the bottom (surprised it is still there) the OP states he found it posted on here and copied it over.

                    Doesn't this also affect shotguns in so far as tubular magazines being originally designed for a shorter cartridge?

                        You're kidding yourself if you think it hasn't already crossed their mind. Beowulf, just like the SA and CZ, are low hanging fruit. It would affect a lot more people if they went after the shotguns or the 40 s&w mags based on the same logic than the 50 Beo.

                          It is notable that I sent the request for clarification back in May and only now, after the election, did they respond to me... coincidence?? I think not.

                                For those wondering about the apperent contradiction, they're still saying that magazines designed for one gun are ok if they HAPPEN to fit in another gun.

                                They claim that the difference here is that it's a magazine designed for two guns. It's 'designed' to fit in a 223 based platform AND a 50 platform, thus being one mag designed for two guns.

                                That might well be hard for them to argue if it goes to court. The law does say that if a magazine is 'modified' from the original it doesn't count - and mags that are specifically designed for the 50 are designed for the 50.

                                It doesn't affect things like shotguns because of the nature of tube fed magazines. What was the 'original' capacity of a tube? How was the tube 'modified', etc. Shotguns have always held all kinds of different sizes so while they can say that the ar mags were originally designed for 223 you can't say all shotgun tube mags were originally designed for 2 3/4 or 3 inch or 2.5 or whatever.

                                Well we knew they were waiting for the results of the election to pick some of the fights they've had in mind so i guess this was inevitable. I don't know what the 'judges' are going to say but at least there's a reasonable chance of winning under the current law, tho i suspect that the powers that be will be looking for ways to come down on the cop's side.
