Still legal to buy a 20 round magazine now?

[wangqingok]

Hey Guys:

I just got my first rifle (a AK variant rifle). And hope to know if it is still legal to purchase 20 round magazines now. Can I use those magazines even after 2013-10-01 when the new ban will kick in?

Much Appreciate!!!

Yes they are legal to own and purchase now. They will be legal to own after Oct 1, but illegal to purchase

but illegal to purchase

...in the state of Maryland.

if only there was another state or two nearby where you could still buy them.

What if you have 20-rounders on backorder? Do you have to receive the magazine before 1 Oct?

That's what the law appears to state.
