It is a coupler. It is completely legal. There are still three separate mags, you do not change the function of the mags. They do not increase the capacity of a Mag. Until they pass a law that explicitly bans couplers, everything is fine. calgunandprep.com, they are affiliates or cross-industries are not lawyers.

I read that this is not a valid legal defense on the Internet. The typical method of pairing AR mags is to place a device in the middle of the magazine and connect the 2 mags in a side-by-side configuration. This is (in my opinion) the most ergonomic method and requires the least behavioral changes when learning the 2 mags relationship. However, the disadvantage of this method for us in places like California or Canada, where the capacity of the store is limited, is that 10 round AR mags extrude just below the receiver`s mag well. To top it off, it`s offered at a very competitive price of around $40 and is available at major retailers like Brownells.com. That`s a split of about $20 per 10-spin AR mag with a free mag coupler. A typical Magpul 10 Round AR-15 Mag costs $14, so is the 10/10 Cross Mag really a bargain? If you`re only looking for one 10-rpm magazine, clearly not. However, if you`re looking for a solution that allows you to recharge as quickly as possible (thinking about your competitive shooters) while remaining LEGAL CA, then the answer is yes. As long as it does not “feed” more than 10 rds, it is legal. Want more paired mags? There`s a 5-mag clutch out there (but I think it only works with this company`s magazines): it means there`s not enough space to squeeze 2 mags together. This means that the only option is to attach 2 mags to their floor plates. That`s where the new 10/10 Cross Mag comes in.
Until now, the only solution was to remove the floor plates from a 10-turn magazine and replace them with a special coupling magazine. While this works, it also creates problems dismounting and changing the mag orientation for personal preference. In addition, you also need to buy parts from multiple manufacturers, which can also lead to nightmares in customer support. Fortunately, Cross Industries has found a solution. They built a new 10-shot AR-15 magazine (called 10/10 Cross Mag) with a special base plate that allows you to use the Mag in a single OR-coupled configuration. In addition, there are 4 different paired configurations in which you can configure the mags according to your personal preferences. Best of all, they come in a smoky translucent look, which means they also look fantastic. I want to reiterate that the 10/10 Cross Mag is not designed to support cartridges other than the NATO 223 Rem/5.56 cartridge. I am also not able to travel to an area at this time due to the COVID-19 lockdown and do live-fire testing. However, all my functional/torture tests show that this is a very well developed and manufactured product that will double the loading capacity of ammunition while complying with the very restrictive laws of anti-gun governments. Whether you need something for competitive gaming or just want a few extra spins to “turn over more fire”, the Cross Industries 10/10 Cross Mag is a great solution while remaining legal.
Suppose you`re limited to 10-round magazines. With the simple addition of the MAG coupler, you have now doubled your onboard ammunition, with the second MAG being a simple flip. The two 10-round chargers glued together fit into many standard-sized magazine pockets, and the longer dual charger offers better magazine handling. You may be thinking, “Okay, but I don`t live on the left coast, so why should I care?” The MAG coupler also works on the standard versions of the listed journals. Yes, you can glue two AK-Mags 30-Rounder 5.56mm or AK-Mags 7.62m 39mm together to have a lot of fun. Damn, dig up a few 40-round AR mags and you might – depending on your size – be able to use it as a standing monopod. Just kidding; Don`t try that. www.fab-defense.com/en/weapon-m16-m4-ar15/id-1477/ultimag-10r-5-magazines-coupler.html First of all, let me say that all of you who live in states like California have my deepest sympathy for gun rights.
I often grimace when I see a product designed to comply with Byzantine gun laws in these places. So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the MAG coupler for the first time. Here`s a product that, while targeting shooters facing store capacity constraints, is simply smart and cool. I was in New York license classes that specified that such things (or, say, several mags pasted together) were technically legal b/c, it counted as several mags, but ~enh~ not sure if I would risk it. Learning how to change mags with the 10/10 Cross Mag requires new moves, but it didn`t take me long to get used to it. Why shouldn`t they be? They are independent of each other, so it`s the same as wearing 3 mags. The MAG coupler is devilishly simple in its concept, but ingenious in its use. Basically, you can attach two MAGMAG end-to-end via the REPLACEMENT base plate of the MAG coupler. Specific models are available for 5.56mm AR-15 rifles, 7.62 x 39mm AK/AKM sample rifles and 7.62 x 51mm AR rifles.
Version 5.56 is designed for PMAG Gen M3, ak version AK/AKM MOE PMAG and 7.62 AR version AR10 LR/SR Gen M3 PMAG. Consider buying 2x of the same Magpul 10 P-Mags round. You are now at about $30. Then add the cost of a 3rd party pairing device that starts at $10 and up. You`ve already reached the same price as the Cross Mag, but you`ll need to create your own setup and don`t have the same flexibility/customization. The good people at Cross Industries recently asked me if I would be interested in reviewing their new 10/10 Cross Mag for them. Of course, I said yes and here we are. Although they were kind enough to send me a few demo units for free, this article is the honest and direct opinion of CG&P. Yes! If you can only shoot 10 shots before shooting, turning around and reinserting another 10, you are GTG! “Dress with me, imma shoot with the old dick and nuts” Conclusion: If you assemble two 10-turn mags, you can have 20 rounds ready to use with minimal reload time. We are sorry if this has been covered. I tried to search but couldn`t find anything.
MAG couplers are cheap, ranging from $9.99 to $10.99 for a mortgage. Seriously, it`s a very nice addition to your kit for a lot of money. I tried a 5.56mm MAG coupler with two 10-shot FGs and was impressed with the stability and rigidity of the Combo-Mag system. It`s rock solid.

The biggest problem with a number of AR mags on the market today is that they usually don`t work, usually with power. The 10/10 Cross Mag is designed for the standard NATO 5.56 cartridge, which means it should also work well with 300 AR occultation chamber. During my tests, I had no problems with the ammunition that was in the specifications. Here are the results of my tests: The concept of connecting 2 mags has been around for some time.
The goal is to reduce the amount of movement (and therefore the time) it takes to reload the weapon. By connecting two or more mags, we can also reduce the amount of equipment that needs to be attached to our body without reducing the amount of ammunition in the loading configuration. The advantages of such a configuration are quite obvious and have little or no disadvantages. Idk. They are tied up, aren`t they? It looks like it could still be considered as 1 mag Buy a PDF download of The American Handgunner Sept/Oct 2018 issue now!.
