    By my reading of the law, no.


    http://www.leg.state.co.us/clics/cli...e=1224_enr.pdf
    18-12-302. Large-capacity magazines prohibited - penalties - exceptions.
    (1) (a) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION,ON AND AFTER JULY 1, 2013,A PERSON WHO SELLS,TRANSFERS,OR POSSESSES A LARGE-CAPACITY MAGAZINE COMMITS A CLASS 2MISDEMEANOR.
    Section 1 defines a magazine.
    Section 2 explains who may possess a mag.
    Section 3 is exemptions, this is where out of state would apply.
    (3) THE OFFENSE DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (1)OF THIS SECTION SHALL NOT APPLY TO:
    (a) AN ENTITY,OR ANY EMPLOYEE THEREOF ENGAGED IN HIS OR HER EMPLOYMENT DUTIES,THAT MANUFACTURES LARGE-CAPACITY MAGAZINES WITHIN COLORADO EXCLUSIVELY FOR TRANSFER TO,OR ANY LICENSED GUN DEALER,AS DEFINED IN SECTION 12-26.1-106 (6), C.R.S.,OR ANY EMPLOYEE THEREOF ENGAGED IN HIS OR HER OFFICIAL EMPLOYMENT DUTIES,THAT SELLS LARGE-CAPACITY MAGAZINES EXCLUSIVELY TO:
    (I) A BRANCH OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES;
    (II) A DEPARTMENT,AGENCY,OR POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE OF COLORADO,OR OF ANY OTHER STATE,OR OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT;
    (III) A FIREARMS RETAILER FOR THE PURPOSE OF FIREARMS SALES CONDUCTED OUTSIDE THE STATE;
    (IV) A FOREIGN NATIONAL GOVERNMENT THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR SUCH TRANSFERS BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT;OR
    (V) AN OUT-OF-STATE TRANSFEREE WHO MAY LEGALLY POSSESS A LARGE-CAPACITY MAGAZINE;OR
    (b) AN EMPLOYEE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES WHO BEARS A FIREARM IN THE COURSE OF HIS OR HER OFFICIAL DUTIES:
    (I) A BRANCH OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES;OR
    (II) A DEPARTMENT,AGENCY,OR POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE OF COLORADO,OR OF ANY OTHER STATE,OR OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT;OR
    (c) A PERSON WHO POSSESSES THE MAGAZINE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF TRANSPORTING THE MAGAZINE TO AN OUT-OF-STATE ENTITY ON BEHALF OF A MANUFACTURER OF LARGE-CAPACITY MAGAZINES WITHIN COLORADO.

    So 3.a doesnt apply to private citizens, 3.b does not apply to private citizens, and 3.c applies to USPS/UPS/FEDEX/etc. I find it amusing that 3C does not apply when a "licensed gun dealer" ships a magazine, only from manufacturers.

    A private citizen of Colorado may not transfer a magazine with >15 round capacity to anybody.
    Only companies and their employees that are licensed gun dealers or magazine manufacturers may transfer magazines and only then to a select class of destinations.
