WTB Preban AR15 magazines

That’s not the case. Typically, unmarked metal mags are pre-ban. They also have date stamped pre-bans too. Those are worth $5-10 more per mag. Another way to know if it’s pre-ban is if it was made by some companies that went out of business shortly before the ban.

Also, all mags made between 9/94 and 9/04 will say “For LE/MIL only” or something along the lines of that.

Manufacturers didn’t know that there’d be a ban on mags back then, hence why most have no stampings at all.

Also, Orlite, who only made pre-bans, are polymer/plastic, but a much lower quality than just about all other mags made.

The most important thing to remember is that it is the prosecutor’s job to prove the mags are illegal… It’s not your job to prove they’re pre-ban. Sure, you may not be able to prove they’re legal, but if the prosecutor can’t prove otherwise, you’re good to go.

Good to know, thank you! I just bought a Ruger AR, so I’m still learning about all of these PIA laws that go along with it.
