Disassemble the normal capacity magazine and carry only the parts in your checked baggage. Once across the California border, reassemble the parts into a complete magazine.

As for going through LAX, the dozen times I have flown down through there I have had no problems going in or out. Declare it at departure, pick it up at arrival. Done deal.
Have a safe trip buddy. On the plus side, they drive 100 mph everywhere, so you will be out of dodge in no time.
God gets blamed for a lot of things now days, they ask “why would He let this happen?, Why doesn’t He stop it? I really don’t know, but I wonder if He wants to ask us the same questions. All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing
Absolutely 100%.
Large-capacity magazines in California - Calguns.net <See posts up to and including #5. Magazine parts are not controlled, only assembled magazines.
Just deal with it... why risk a felony? I'm guessing the odds of needing more than 8 rounds in 4 hour visit are pretty low. I'm guess the odds of needing more than 2 clips during your entire trip are about zero.
The crappy airport food is probably a bigger threat to your life.
No I got you... I just think the food at the airport is a bigger threat to your life than traveling with mags that "only" have 8-10 rounds. Unless the car is full of drugs it's not like you're going to evading wild hordes. If it makes you feel more comfortable, buy a high capacity mag when you cross the boarder in AZ. The risk to your life of only having 10 round mags isn't nearly as high as risking a felony and not being able to have a gun in the future.
If you can reassemble... sounds like a pain, but problem solved.
