There could be a multitude of permutations here making any clear cut interpretation of a somewhat ambiguous statue problematic. "

I know you can type but do you have any concept of how to read? Let's start with what State are we discussing? We can then all read the actual Statue involved and see what is in that language. It's nonsense to discuss this in the abstract. In some States it actual possession prior to, in others it mfg prior to and in some it does not matter or there are other rules. If a State merely adopted the Federal language (reproduced here so you can practice reading "Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the possession or transfer of any large capacity ammunition feeding device otherwise lawfully possessed on or before the date of the enactment of this subsection."
There is however a clear legal principle about this that has been applied by every single US court that ambiguity is resolved in favor of the defendant. So what State and then we can all see what is the language and stop this nonsense of hypothesizing. Since to my knowledge and research someone being charged SOLELY for this with ambiguity on the date of mfg. has never happened the case law is likely a little thin. But whatever. Let's see what statue you are up against and then we can move forward with trying to help you despite your attitude.
