Found a guy on NY firearms that I can meet up with to buy some 30 round preban mags. He has aluminum and thermold. Wants 20 a piece says its my choice. I’m a little ignorant as to which one or the other would be better or if it really matters one way or the other. Searching online now, but figured I see if some fellow firearms enthusiasts on here have any insite? ---

Thermold all the way IMO. Can’t bend and aren’t as “fragile” as alum if I recall. ---

Can’t bend and aren’t as “fragile” as alum if I recall. that seems to be what I found online. Only issue could be if they are Canadian mags in which case they aren’t any good. ---

i did forget about this site… they take a pmag and permantly make it 10 round capacity. i have a couple of these and there legal and only hold 10. they are true pmags not some other knock off. i literally had these at my door within 48 hours of ordering also. pre bans are nice but these are good if you want the pmag look.

Yes if you don’t have a grip on the barrel the longer mag is nice to hold onto, but your making it look like you have an illegal mag in your post ban rifle. I wouldn’t want those for that reason. ---

I saw some listed a while ago on NY firearms. You would probably be able to find somebody looking to sell on there.
