Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Cross Mag and why is it used in California?

A Cross Mag is a product designed to couple two 10-round magazines together, creating a larger capacity feeding device. In California, where standard magazine capacity is limited to 10 rounds, this allows shooters to maintain compliance while achieving a visually similar appearance to larger, unrestricted magazines.

What issues were encountered with the Cross Mag during the range session?

During the range session, the Cross Mag experienced a significant failure. The bottom portion of the coupled magazine detached, and cracks were observed on both sides of the magazine housing, rendering it unusable.

What type of AR pistol was featured in the video?

The video featured a California-compliant AR pistol equipped with a 10.3-inch barrel. It was also shown with a Holosun optic and a weapon light, chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO.

What are the implications of the Cross Mag failure for firearm accessory reliability?

The failure of the Cross Mag highlights the importance of thoroughly testing firearm accessories, especially those designed for compliance in restrictive states. It suggests that some designs may prioritize aesthetics or compliance over robust mechanical integrity under stress.
