Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
458 SOCOM 10 round PMAGs, this could be huge!
So I know this has been around a couple places.
We need to Solicit MAGPUL to make dedicated 10 round 458 SOCOM magazines. They would have "Minor" re-tooling to say the needed "10 Round 458 SOCOM" on the PMAG.
PUUURFECTLY LEGAL under the new HB1224 law.
Who is with me?

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

Well...since I have a .458 SOCOM, I'd be all about this.
But if they're going to go to these lengths, it would be nice of them to make a 15 round SOCOM mag; might as well make one to hold the legal limit. I have heard, but can't confirm, that these look an awful lot like 40 round 5.56 mags...

I am not sure what you are talking about sir, these ARE NOT 30rd 5.56 Pmags, they are 10 RD 458 socom mags, see, 10 rds.

Oh how I'd love to own a .458 Socom!I am not sure what you are talking about sir, these ARE NOT 30rd 5.56 Pmags, they are 10 RD 458 socom mags, see, 10 rds.
Great idea Skully, have you contacted MagPul yet ?
Are those the Hornady 325 gr. Flextip you are using in those rounds ?
My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

My dreams of adding a 458 to my collection is not there yet, I just used that as a random picture off the net.
I have not "contacted" MAGPUL about it yet, but seriously thinking about. Not sure if it is a product line they would expand upon just to say it on the side. Somebody will do it though, I know the thought is out there.

Actually, PMAG could host a remanufacturing event where Colorado residents bring their 556 PMAGs to the MAGPUL facility to get them converted to 458 SOCOM. All it would take is 1) a new single-stack follower (keep your old follower), and 2) a quick press with a "branding iron" to stamp "458 SOCOM" and "10 Rounds" over the old markings. They could set up a sort of assembly line in the parking lot - table 1: disassembly and inspection, table 2: follower replacement , table 3: branding...So I know this has been around a couple places.

Now the bad news. The law says a magazine is banned if it is "designed to be readily convertible to hold more than 15 rounds". Not sure if the 458 conversion would pass -- just replace the follower and its a perfectly functional illegal-capacity magazine regardless of what it says on the outside.
