NJ Compliant 10 rd Magazines?

While shopping for 10 rd magazines for a Sig P226 I came across a company called Magblock. They offer a 10 round magazine limiter for $6 which is a bargain compared to $35 for factory mags. They state that it could be installed under spring tension or epoxied in place.

Two questions:
1) Does NJ law require that the block needs to be epoxied, therefore permanent? (Most likely!) [wallmad]
2) If epoxied is there any way to service the magazine in order to clean it or replace the spring/follower?

Anybody have a factory 10 round Glock 19/17 or Sig P226 magazine? If you pull the floor plate and take it apart, what/how makes it a 10 rd mag? Can someone post pics?

I'm assuming a block and a shorter spring. That's what is in my previously "legal" 15rd AR Hex mags. They were NOT "permanently" fixed.

1) You remove the floor plate. 2) Slide the spring over the mag block. 3) Insert the follower, mag block and factory spring back into the magazine then reinstall the floor plate.
Some epoxy and some don't.
I have seen some AR mags with green painted floor plates painted green marked with the number 10. I guess it all comes down to how paranoid you are.

Fishman... how about replacing the factory 15rd spring with a block and a 10rd spring? At that point even if the block is removed the magazine is rendered inoperable which I "assume" satisfies state law. BTW, I agree it's all about your risk tolerance. Thanks for your thoughtful response.

Shootem... Can you break down your 10rd mags? If so, is it just a block and a shorter spring that makes it a "legal" 10rd magazine?
