Those mags are unavailable until further notice evidently.  I placed an order w/ Brick Armory last month, got in contact after two weeks had passed and got the bad news.

Evidently Bushmaster revised the floorplate design such that it can't be removed/modded without destroying the magazine.

I double checked with Brick Armory and they confirmed that the new 10 round mags shipping from Bushmaster fall apart when the pin in the floorplate is drilled.

The good news is that they still do conversions on the old style Bushmaster 10 round mags for a few dollars a piece.

And this country is awash in Bushmaster 10 round mags.

Now that the AWB lifted last year, it should be easy for NJ residents to buy up used Bushmaster 10 rounders from the vast territories of Free America (West of the Delaware) then get them converted.

I'm considering USGI-type 20rd mags with a block screwed to the baseplate, or maybe use a 30rd follower (they're longer than 20rd followers) and extend it as necessary to squeeze the fill to 15.

The Bushmaster mags (old design as well as new) don't appear to be very disassembly-friendly w/ that plastic cast baseplate...stripping them down for cleaning looks tough.
