I’ve ordered many rifle mags over10+ rounds the past few years. Tried to order more from 3 different websites last week, but it seems they won’t ship to Hawaii anymore. Is this because of the new bill that hasn’t passed yet? I see them available in LGS.

A couple years ago the attorney general sent letters out to the internet retailers saying that high cap magazines were illegal in Hawaii and they shouldn't be shipped here. A lot of the companies didn't want the fight or didn't look closely at the law and no longer would ship to Hawaii. Even if it is for a rifle and perfectly legal they seem to not be willing to ship.

Bummer. I probably got enough mags to last me a lifetime. Just wanted to test out some new 22lr mags and drum with my CMMG conversion. I tried gunmagwarehouse, primary arms and midway. None would ship them. All 3 of them shipped to me before. Going to try optics planet and gunbroker as a last resort.

Sorry I don't have any input on what internet sources might still ship. Know anyone on the mainland that you could ship it to and then they forward it to you?

Midwayusa still ships rifle mags to Oahu.
Just no pistol mags over 10 rnds

I've encountered some internet retailers in the past that won't ship rifle mags to Hawaii. Either they don't want to deal with the potential hassles or they just didn't know the laws.
No problem. I just went to another retailer and they shipped the mags to me. The other guy's loss. :rofl:

Gunmagwarehouse use to ship to Hawaii . but soon after ar15 pistols became a thing they stopped. I guess cause the word pistol automatically meamt nothing over 10 rounds to Hawaii. Little do they know we cant have ar15 pistols without welding a friggin metal shroud around the magwell and mag. Or exnay the gas tube. 😂 unless the laws have changed... Thats what i remember.
-
But as for the OP ..
I ordered some ar15 30 rd mags a couple weeks ago and its on its way.
I checked today... Put in cart etc... And it works but didnt order. If theres a problem.. When you choose shipping method it'll prevent you from going any further.
Ask me how I know?😂
This is midway.

I like to support stores that support the cause. You can check if they can bring in the mags.

My gun loving friend in Mississippi will send me anything I want.
As a law abiding citizen, I don’t do anything illegal. I obey the law.
-
Brownells does. But my favorite is lanbosarmory
-
Beleive DCT has a large stock of standard capacity magazines and might be running sales in "recognition" of bills like this.
I used to order from Gunmagwarehouse and PSA, but both have stopped shipping to HI. There are others that still do, and Brownells has been reliable and also excellent sales here and there. I have away a bunch of standard cap AR mags recently, so might "backfill" with some newer mags.

DCT also showed up to the hearing about SB3196 to testify against it. He isn't like another gun store who years ago didn't do anything, but fear mongered for people to buy more mags. Same gun store, a few friends bought Glocks and it only came with 1 mag.

HGS had a sale on AR mags. not sure if still on sale
Primary Arms ships to HI

You’re right, midway accepted my order. I must have been mistaken about them. Gunmagwarehouse has always been my go to. Thanks

Is there anywhere that sells surplus Uzi and/or AK mags that will ship here?
AimSurplus ships rifle caliber magazines to Hawaii from what I am able to determine. Their surplus stock is minimal right now though.
Arms of America is a maybe.
Atlantic Firearms looks possible for rifle caliber mags.
-
+ 1 on AimSurplus and Brownells
-
You guys right about midway. They will ship. Gonna purchase this tonight. Its One of those items your wife says you don’t need, so you buy it and do everything you can to justify how this will someday save your families Life lol
-
yup, get those 30rd mags while you still can. load up now, get your life-time supply ordered.
don't forget those 40rd PMAGS, maybe some 60rd mags. how bout some drum mags? Strike Industries has clear 32rd polymer mags, not sure if they're GTG.
if SB3196 passes ... not sure what the latest is on that, or if anybody 2a even know what it actually says, seems to be kind of hush-hush alluvasudden.
-
20 round 5.56 magazines have advantages over 30 rounders especially when it comes to self defense where it's usually low round counts. Less bulk and more comfortable to wear when in awkward positions. And makes the gun a bit sleeker. I'll train with 20 rounders once in a while.

Define self defense.

That might not be wise if there is no grandfather for them. We should wait until the amendments come out. That being said I do have my eyes on the ATI Schmeisser 60 round stick mags.

Define self defense.
Peacetime from a defending position against criminals within 50 yards. Where you are ensuring hits on each round and not doing suppressive fire. The rifle is much more effective than a pistol that is short range, less accurate, and can require many effective hits to stop making capacity more important.
Now if you are going offensive, have a MS13 multi-million dollar contract on your head, facing avenging jihadists, or wartime conditions, then you want all the rounds you can have. And for those long range engagements, you can use the 30 round magazines like a bipod.

who wears mags?

A whole myriad of emotions as I await the outcome of this sh*tshow. I'm clearly frustrated and infuriated at the illogical reasonings and bullsh*t sparring between the introducers of this communist legislation and the committee members who make backroom deals.
Grandfather clause? No grandfather clause? Amendments? Amendments to the amendments? Aloha spirit clause?
I guess I should just relax, sit back and :popcorn:

I would buy magazines for which there is no 20 round version and block those in June, if it passes with no grandfathering provision. There is a provision in the current version which allows modification of magazines to hold 10 rounds or fewer.
Examples are surplus AK and Uzi magazines and Colt SMG mags.
Buy stuff that you would buy anyway, as long as it can be modified later.

exactly how do you block said magazines.

Glue something inside Magazine, to stop the follower from going past 20 rounds, that's how X-Ring used to do their standard compacity pistol mags.

Glue in a magblock, rivets, ...
