10+ round magazines transit thru Germany

[Tommie59]

Hi,

I am a Dutch sportshooter and i'm planning to go to Poland later this year. so I need to cross thru Germany.

 

Is it possible to get an exempt as a non German resident for the 30 round magazines?

 

Also regarding to this: One of the rifles i would like to take to Poland is an Sig Sauer MPX 16" 

Problem is that the factory 10 round magazine that came with the gun is an 20 round mag body wich is restricted to 10 rounds, are those also forbidden? Because of the 20 round body?

Here are some pictures of the magazine: https://imgur.com/a/dnuw03a

According to § 12 Section 1 Number 6 of the german gun law, you don't need a permit when transiting Guns through german territory, as long as the transport is compliant with § 32, i.e. you have a gun licence of your home country (if applicable) and a european fire arms pass)

 

Keep in mind, that german gun laws require you to transport the gun in a locked case. Also, the gun must be unloaded, which under german law is the case when there is no ammunition or bullet  whatsoever in the gun. Not even a loaded magazine in the gun without a round beeing chambered is permitted.

 

Regarding  restricted Magazines it would be best to confirm this via a request to the german federal police (BKA), as there is some debate, if the general rules  for transit of "Weapons" are applicable to, as the gun law calls it, "banned items". They should, but sometimes german gun law is a mess.
