“4. Magazines designed for one firearm but used in a different firearm
The maximum permitted capacity of a magazine is determined by the kind of firearm it is designed or manufactured for use in and not the kind of firearm it might actually be used in. As a consequence, the maximum permitted capacity remains the same regardless of which firearm it might be used in.”

I spent plenty of time finding out these kinds of magazines used in a different firearm (uasally,10 round).
Example:
(1)The Marlin model 45 (Camp Carbine) rifle chambered for 45 Auto caliber uses magazines designed for the Colt 1911 handgun.
therefore the seven round and eight round capacities are permitted.
(Why not mention the extended 10 round magazines designed for the Colt 1911 handgun?)
(2) Kel-Tec SU-16 rifle chambered for 5.56/.223 Auto caliber uses 10 round magazines designed for the LAR-15 pistol.
In fact,Ar15 and any 5.56/.223 NATO STANAG compatible rifle can use the STANAG magazines not the rifle.

(3) VZ 58 rifle chambered for 5.56/.223 Auto caliber uses 10 round Magazine designed for the LAR-15 pistol.
In fact ,Some firearms, while not originally manufactured to feed from STANAG magazines, can be converted to use them.

(4)SKS rifle chambered for 7.62×39 Auto caliber uses 10 round Czech Small Arms (CSA) XCR Pistol magazine.
(5) CZ 858 rifle chambered for 7.62×39 Auto caliber uses 10 round Czech Small Arms (CSA) XCR Pistol Magazine.
(6) Kel-Tec Sub 2000 Carbine chambered for 9mm\.40 S&W caliber uses 10 round Magazine designed for the Glock pistol.
(can I use the 10 round magazines designed for Beretta and Smith & Wesson pistol?)
(7) JR(Just Right) Carbine chambered for 9mm\.40 S&W \.45 ACP caliber uses 10 round Magazine designed for the Glock pistol.
(can I use the 10 round magazines designed for M1911 pistol?)
(8) M14S/M305 rifle chambered for 7.62×51mm NATO caliber uses 10 round Magazine designed for the AIA rifle.

Do (3) (4) (5) (8) need a number of modifications to the rifle?legal modifications?

Finally,are there any supplements?(especially, in non restricted rifle)
Someone is too tense!
THANKS!!

(1) Yes
(2) Yes
(3) Yes but you need the magwell adapter
(4) Yes but you need the magwell adapter
(5) Yes but you need the magwell adapter
(6) Yes
(7) Yes
(8) Yes

For 6 and 7, you can even use tricks like putting 13 rounds of 9mm in a .40 S&W mag. This applies to all pistols and pistol-caliber carbines that accept pistol mags.

For all of the above you cannot modify the magazine in any way. Any modification to the magazine could result in a prohibited device. Modifying the rifle is ok, with the possible exception of (8)(don't quote me on this). I'll let the experts handle the M14S/AIA situation.
 
Other than doing a research for a news paper article, I am curious to why are you so interested in what kind of firearm people own? :weird:

I'm smelling the faint odour of rat or is it "journalist" and or Troll - half of the rifles he listed are named prohibs, they were/are listed obviously not knowing that they are prohib. Things are plenty curious.

Well played @AR180shooter!


You have my apologies for insinuating that not having STANAG compatibility meant your rifles were "less black" and my congrats on your optics choices. Ever considered using the NEA lower so you can join the rest of us rolling around in cheap plentiful mags?

Oh, and in regards to this whole thread: weird questions bro. Weird poll. Is this the right place to buy sniper rifles?

Thanks. :D

And I have considered an NEA lower, but decided I was happy with the current lowers and Swiss style mags.
