Mag Double Legality

TDS · Jun 10, 2020

Wondering if anyone knows if something like this would be legal in Maryland: https://asquaredarmament.com/the-mag-double/

It’s a simple device that connects two magazines from the bottom by replacing the base plates. Thanks!

Don't use those.

You'd be manufacturing a magazine with capacity > 10 rounds, what do you think?

<smh>

Ok got it.

I'd say it would not be legal to put it together in state. But it looks pretty terrible. Why would you want that? Probably a great way to make a reliable mag unreliable.

Ok. Forgive me for not 100% understanding Maryland gun laws :/

If you really want a mag that large go up to Delaware or Pennsylvania and buy yourself a Pmag D60 drum.

I think it may not be legal because you'd be manufacturing a larger than 10 round magazine. Or that's what I suspect based on my previous research and what people are saying here.

OK thanks for the feedback. I agree, just wanted to see what other people think

Good point. I did not think of that.

Here we go.

I think we can conclude the mag double is NOT legal.

In your defense, the representatives who wrote Maryland's gun laws don't even understand them

It is not feeding all 60 rounds into the gun at once. It just bonds 2 magazines together. Not very different from tapping 2 together to me?

No it does feed all 60.
My original confusion was understanding how combining two legally obtained 30 round magazines into one 60 round magazine would change it's legal status. But I now believe that act of combining them would be considered 'manufacturing' and thus not legal.

Does it come with the new spring you will need? I cannot watch the video at work.

From the Website.
Assembly is easy, you simply remove the baseplates from your magazines and then lock them together with the Mag Double, no tools required. You don’t need to modify the magazines in any way, and you can combine them or revert them back to their normal configuration in under a minute.

Now one Magazine has the opening down and one is up into the rifle. How can it feed all 60? You need to remove the ASSY and re-insert it with the bottom magazine opening facing up.

You don't need a new spring. It uses the two springs from the original mags.

I would bet, that there is a spacer that goes between the two springs.

But since it feeds all the rounds without a swap, IMO, it would be illegal.

A jungle clip (or duct tape) would be OK.
