Live video from Colorado House floor debate over new gun control laws.

All Pmags do have their manufacture date molded into them.

Not really relevant since it's when you owned it (before/after), not when it was manufactured. I can't go out and buy (with a paper trail...) a 30 year old GI surplus AR mag after the date the law takes effect.

If it does pass, I'm sure gun shops near the state line in neighboring states will appreciate the extra business in standard capacity mag sales from all the Coloradoans who are not planning on relinquishing their liberty. It will also be interesting to see how they plan on enforcing this law, since the State will have to prove that the mag wasn't owned prior to the implementation of the law. Most mags do not carry date marks or serial numbers.

Coloradans already travel to WY each year to buy fireworks. I guess they'll just be adding magazines to that list.

The thing that REALLY pisses me off about this law is that it also attempts to forbid me from even selling or giving any of my magazines to anyone else.

Screw 'em... resist baby.

I'm curious too. With all the talk of not standing for these infringements, how many are going to disobey? Let's see it folks, it's time to put up or shut up.

We're going to find out once doors start getting kicked in......

henschman, Be aware that altering or removing a serial number from any object of value is a felony, it also goes under "Receiving Stolen Property" also a felony. It's best to lay and let lay, besides that law hasn't been enacted yet, so hold your horses. I also do a lot of traveling thru Colorado, however if any of those silly laws pass, believe me I'll be going around that California State. Also they can kiss my out of state deer and elk tag fees goodbye.

I don't think PMAGS have serial numbers on them. And I find it hard to believe that removing a date or any other marking besides a serial number from almost anything is a felony in any way.

Why does Magpul date their mags BTW? They just made it easier for the antis. Just stick to GI aluminum mags and you'll be good.

 

[Cesiumsponge]

They probably date them for traceability to manufacturing or to molds if problems arise. I am not certain when they changed their design, but I have at least a couple different versions of the windowless PMAG over the years.

 

[MErl]

yes they have a month and year on them.

If you read the CO law about removing serial numbers, it applies to unique identification markings. A lot number (which is all a month/year is) is not unique.

I suppose 3-D printed magazines could not be dated in such a fashion?
