What was the Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device (LCAFD) ban?
The LCAFD ban was enacted along with the SAW ban on September 13, 1994. The ban made it unlawful to transfer or possess LCAFDs. The law generally defined a LCAFD as a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device manufactured after September 13, 1994 that has the capacity of, or can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The ban was codified at 18 U.S.C. ยง 922(w). As with SAWs, there are certain exceptions to the ban, such as possession by law enforcement.
