What if you ordered some 10 round magazines online for, lets say a M&P 9, but received 17 rounders instead?
Strictly hypothetical of course.

[L 1988, c 275, pt of §2; am L 1989, c 261, §6 and c 263, §4; am L 1992, c 286, §§3, 4]
You should probably take them to a licensed gun dealer and have them help you with either blocking them or exchanging them.
That's what I would do anyway.

Yes

some people would say, "take them apart and call them 'parts kits'"
others may say, "keep them where no one will find them just in case SHTF or zombies"
the majority would say, "follow the law"
in this hypothetical situation, it is up to you, but the law is not hypothetical, so proceed at your own hypothetical risk

i would just block them to 10 that way when the shtf bye bye blocks hello lead rain! thats my final answer. :shake: i mean hypothetical that is... and no i do not have 17 rds magazines hypotheticly

If they're not assembled then I think its okay. They sell magazine parts kits that are a complete magazine just disassembled into the spring, tube, follower and base plate. You get those and you block it off yourself. If I were to take a blocked off g17 magazine and take it apart, it would be the same thing, I just took the block out. Just keep them disassembled or block it off yourself.

BUT if youre on a military base its legal to have hicap mags. You can not take the mags offbase.....
Not too many people know this.....
If I were you take them apart and take them to a licensed dealer to block them....
I have to ask the city prosecuter why a person should not block it themselves..he told me before but I forget the exact reason..next time he comes in.

Okay, I better explain because I am getting flooded by PMs.
My son-in-law ordered 2 10 round magazines online late last year. They finally arrived, but low and behold, they were hicaps.
He contacted the vendor about the error, and was told that when the replacement mags come to him a return shipping label would be included.
After some time has passed and no replacement had come, he contacted the vendor again.
This time he was told that order# ***** has been canceled, and the CC has been refunded. Sure enough, his CC had been refunded.
He will have them blocked, as soon as Joe from WGS gets back.
Thanks everyone, oh and please no more PMs regarding this, I really have no mags for sale.
