Default Preban Magazines

Is there any way to date S&W factory original magazines?
Here in NY I can own hi-cap magazines only if they were made prior to 1994 and Anything over 10rnds. is considered Hi-cap.

I think if it doesn't have the "For Government and/or Law Enforcement Use Only" stamp there pre-ban. But ya might want to get some more feedback from my fellow members first. Dale

Sheesh, after all the fuss over the idiot in NV, I don't know I'd risk it. Even if your mag is legal, if the wrong LEO saw it you might find yourself having to prove its preban in court.
Just practice changing those baby mags really fast

I'm having the same problem...
I wish someone knew???

I do know that the new mags do NOT say 'gov./le' on them.

Good Luck.
