Magpul 40s DID exist before the Colorado mag capacity limiting law. I know because Magpul sent me 2 of them as a part of the "Boulder Airlift". ;)
Edit: I really should learn to read the whole thread before commenting. [ROFL1]

Nothing in CRS about defacing magazines. And they're only required to be date stamped if they're manufactured in CO after July 1, 2013. What you do with your property after you purchase it within the confines of the law is your own business. There is no law that says you cannot grind off or otherwise modify your magazine to not show the date of manufacture.
See: CRS
Quote:
A large-capacity magazine that is manufactured in Colorado on or after July 1, 2013, must include a permanent stamp or marking indicating that the large-capacity magazine was manufactured or assembled after July 1, 2013. The stamp or marking must be legibly and conspicuously engraved or cast upon the outer surface of the large-capacity magazine.
Colorado: House Committee to Consider Legislation to Repeal Magazine Ban
Quote:
On Wednesday, March 22, the House State, Veterans, & Military Affairs Committee has scheduled a hearing on Senate Bill 7. Please contact members of the committee and strongly urge them to SUPPORT Senate Bill 7.
Sponsored by state Senator Vicki Marble, SB 7 would repeal the anti-self-defense 2013 law that limited the amount of ammunition a firearm magazine can hold. Senate Bill 7 would allow law-abiding Coloradans to more effectively defend themselves and their loved ones and not be limited by a misguided law that criminals do not follow. In February, the Colorado Senate passed Senate Bill 7 with a bipartisan 21-13 vote.
Email sent.
Well, there you go. Are pmags still manufactured, in whole or in part, in Colorado? If the mag bodies are not, they are not "required" to be date coded.
Just more proof that this was horribly written and rushed into law.
Is all pmag production out of state, or just assembly? I know Alfred Manufacturing was doing injection molding for MagPul at one time.
Well, no need to worry about that bill:
On Wednesday, March 22, the House State, Veterans, & Military Affairs Committee has scheduled a hearing on Senate Bill 7.
Please contact members of the committee and strongly urge them to SUPPORT Senate Bill 7.
And some of those bills, Ryden said, need to be put to rest.
She chairs the House State Veteran’s and Military Affairs Committee.
Some insiders call it something else: The house kill committee.
It’s where the Democratic House majority sends bills it doesn’t like.
RIP
I asked a Magpul employee to do just that a couple years ago. He said it's not possible because they use the date codes for QC to identify any problems with their molds or process.
You probably number your mags to identify any with issues? Magpul does the same to make sure they can cull any tools that aren't up to snuff.
