It is a 30 round magazine body that is limited to 10 rounds.

Buy 30 round mag springs from Brownells and swap out the stupid spacer on these and you have a regular magazine again. Shame on Optics Planet for being commie bootlickers

because some of us live in states with a ten round mag limit, but like the way the 30 round mag looks like.

i think optics planet is based in a mag restricted state, so they cant sell 30 round magazines.

The extra weight of a 30 rd mag size helps the mag leave the well on the release

Workaround: Buy 30 round mag springs (they're a couple dollars @ brownells), remove the stock spring and spacer, replace with 30 round spring, tada, you have a 30 round mag
