What if my 30rd magazine is really a 10-rounder?

Posted on January 4, 2013 by Oleg Volk

458SOCOM rifles use the standard .223 magazines which hold 10 rounds of the larger ammunition. Does this mean that 10-round .458 magazines would become very popular should the proposed ban go into effect? Their ability to hold 30 .223Rem cartridges … Continue reading →
