How do I modify a Pmag 10/30 block to fit other magazines?
Please see the videos under the FAQ tab or use the photo below to see which modifications are needed. Note that some USGI 20
round magazines which have a slight curve to them require the top tap to be left in place like a Pmag 10/20 block, but the bottom tab
is removed. If in doubt test with the tab left in place first. Colt 20 round magazines require additional modifications. See our Colt
10/20 product listing for details. Note that USGI milspec green followers will need modification or replacement with antitilt followes to
fit all 10 rounds. Again see the USGI 10/30 product listing for details.

| Magazine Blocks MagazineBlocks (patented) developed as a way to easily convert standard and high capacity magazines to a lower capacity to help sportsmen, hunters, and other firearms owners more easily comply with regulations and sporting events when magazine capacity may be limited. We offer a full line of 10 and 15 round limiters. As many sportsmen know there are multiple reasons to convert a magazine instead of buying lower capacity magazines. Many firearms are designed to use magazines greater than 10 rounds so the size of the magazine is important. A larger magazine ejects more reliably, has greater surface area for better reload control, allows mounting of certain accessories, and allow the use of more reliable magazines from manufacturers who do not offer lower capacities. Not to mention they just look better. Must be 21year old and up to purchase any items on this page. Buyer assumes full risk and responsibility of properly using products below.. Buyer responsible for checking all local laws, to make sure product being purchased is legal in their state/region. Any orders placed for locations where the specific product is illegal to own will be cancelled and charged a 20% restocking fee. |

Legal Issues: Do I need to use epoxy? What does the law state?
This question comes down to what is considered "permanent" by California, or "readily restored" by New York law,
New Jersey, and other states with this wording of the law. Play it safe and use epoxy, roll pins, rivets or other added
measures of safety to seal the magazine floor plate closed. NJ specifies that more is needed than a temporary
"block of wood" so epoxy or other additional modification is required. Epoxy is strongly recommended for use in all
areas.
The California DOJ is considering proposals that using a Magazine Block and epoxy or riveting are acceptable
methods to make a magazine permanently 10 rounds 12/16/2016. Currently no complete description of what is
considered permanently altered exists.
The state laws are listed for your convenience below. These may not be up to date with the current push for even
more gun control laws against us law abiding citizens.
California:
Penal Code section 16740 defines “large-capacity magazine” to mean any ammunition feeding device with the
capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, but shall not be construed to include a feeding device that has been
permanently altered so that it cannot accommodate more than 10 rounds.
Proposed 12/16/2016 Subject: Emergency regulations regarding Large-Capacity Magazines https://oag.ca.
gov/firearms/regs
Prior proposed, but withdrawn by the DOJ, but does show they comsider MagazineBlocks limiters an acceptable
method of conversion:
§ 5491. Large-Capacity Magazine; capacity (a) Prior to July 1, 2017, large-capacity magazine permit holders may
accept large-capacity magazines, as defined in Penal Code section 16740, from California residents for the
purposes of permanently altering the magazine’s feeding device so that it reduces the capacity to 10 rounds or
less. (b) Prior to July 1, 2017, an individual may dispose of a large-capacity magazine by permanently altering the
magazine’s feeding device so that it reduces the capacity to 10 rounds or less. (1) A large-capacity magazine that
is a box type can have its capacity permanently reduced by using both of the following methods:
(A) Inserting a rigid magazine capacity reduction device, also known as a magazine block, into the magazine body
and then affixing the floor plate of the magazine to the body of the magazine with permanent epoxy. Metal
magazines with metal floor plates have the option of being either welded closed or permanently epoxied closed
once the magazine block(s) have been inserted. Due to magazine manufacturing variations (such as drum
magazines or tubular magazines) it may be necessary to insert multiple magazine blocks in order to reduce the
capacity to 10 rounds.

May a person lawfully possess a “blocked” large capacity ammunition magazine?
A: "Yes, Temporarily blocked magazines are not lawful. (NJAC § 13:54-1.2 Definitions) A large capacity
ammunition magazine must be permanently altered so that it is not capable of holding more than 10 rounds of
ammunition. (e.g. riveted, welded, epoxied, etc.) It cannot be readily restorable. An ammunition magazine which has
been temporarily blocked or modified from holding more than 10 rounds, as by a piece of wood or a pin, is still
unlawful." From Nappen Law Firm legan anylasis. https://gunforhire.com/nj-gun-mag-ban/
"Large capacity ammunition magazine" means a box, drum, tube or other container which is capable of holding
more than 10 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly therefrom into a semi-automatic firearm.

Connecticut:
January 1, 2014 §§ 23-24 — LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINES
The bill defines “large capacity magazine” as any firearm magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that can
hold, or can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. It excludes: 1. feeding
devices permanently altered so that they cannot hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

Massachusetts:
Currently under modification. See your states law for actual text.
Under Massachusetts law, a “large capacity feeding device” is defined as: “(i) a fixed or detachable magazine, box,
drum, feed strip or similar device capable of accepting, or that can be readily converted to accept more than ten
rounds of ammunition or more than five shotgun shells; or (ii) a large capacity ammunition feeding device as
defined in the federal Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. section 921(a)(31) as
appearing in such sect ion on September 13, 1994.” Ch. 140, § 121.
Colorado:
On and after July 1, 2013, it will be unlawful to possess, sell or transfer a "large capacity magazine." The
definition of a "large capacity magazine" includes those magazines or any devices that are fixed, or
detachable and can hold more than 15 rounds or be readily converted to hold more than fifteen
rounds. The prohibition on possession of a "large capacity magazine" does not apply to a person who owned the
magazine on July 1, 2013 and who maintains "continuous possession" of the magazine.
A shotgun magazine may not accept more than eight shotgun shells if it is a detachable magazine or hold more
than twenty-eight inches of shotgun shells if it is a tubular magazine. A .22 caliber rimfire rifle or lever action rifle
that can hold more than 15 rounds in a fixed tubular magazine is not included as a "large capacity magazine."
Hawaii:
(c) The manufacture, possession, sale, barter, trade, gift, transfer, or acquisition of detachable ammunition
magazines with a capacity in excess of ten rounds which are designed for or capable of use with a pistol is
prohibited. This subsection shall not apply to magazines originally designed to accept more than ten
rounds of ammunition which have been modified to accept no more than ten rounds and which are not
capable of being readily restored to a capacity of more than ten rounds. §134-8 http://www.capitol.hawaii.
gov/hrscurrent/vol03_ch0121-0200d/hrs0134/hrs_0134-0008.htm
What if less than 10 rounds fit in my USGI magazine?
The most common cause of this is that the spring hangs up on the point at the top of the Magblock. Unassemble
the magazine and reinstall the block making sure it goes in straight and does nat catch on a loop of the spring. The
base of the block should be flat and not angled when closing the floor plate. Once installed correctly this will not
happen again.
The second issue may be USGI milspec followers. These need to have the spike at the bottom trimmed or be
replaced with aftermarket anti-tilt followers. This upgrade to anti-tilt followers is also the best upgrades to increase
magazine reliability and is highly recommended. Magpul, ACS, and C products followers work great. This photo
shows how to modify the regular followers.
Be sure to leave it a little longer at first and test fit. Trim further as needed for a custom fit.

How do I modify a block to fit Pmag Gen M3 Magazines?
The only required modification to work is trimming off the bottom rear tab on the Magblock. This will allow
10 rounds but may not load with the bolt closed in some rifles. Trimming of the top of the block will allow
loading on a closed bolt, but you have to be careful not to trim too much.

Do Magblocks work with USGI Magazines and Ranger Plates?
While Magblocks work perfectly with Pmags and Ranger plates, the USGI magazines are more complicated due to the internal
Magpul locking plate. They can be adapted to work by either trimming to block until 10 rounds fit using the original plate, or
modifying a Pmag block and using epoxy to secure the ranger plate in place. We will show how to do both methods below. We
will also start offering pre-modified blocks in our store for the second method since it is more complicated.
Method #1: Use Pmag block and leave out the Magpul locking plate.
