I called Buds to get some clarification. I know Shiro and have done business with Buds, both are honorable. Here is what they said (don't shoot the messenger). They asked their lawyers and the ATF has also been involved. They were told that when a gun is created and sold, if it is normally sold with/as a 30rd capacity that can't be changed.... even if they remove the mag. They also run into who-did-what-with-the-manufacturer if they open a box between them and the customer. They do have a "California" section on their site for those states wanting 'common sense' [this is paraphrasing with annoyed humor]. These guns are normally sold with 10 Round mags and fine for sale to us. The gun Shiro was going after did state 10Rd mags but was a typo that has been changed. Buds was courteous and honestly they have no reason to lose business but also no reason to lose their licenses/go to jail.

I talked with 'Nick'. He said if anybody wanted to talk further, his extension was 7152.

Short answer: Wanna fix this..... Change the laws.

November is coming shortly.
