If I were to locate some magazines with greater than 5 round capacity for my milsurps, how would I determine where to drill to insert a rivet to limit the capacity?

you may be better off with inserting a spacer inside the mag that limits the follower.

Looks nicer then drilling a hole in the side of a mag and then sticking a rivet in it.

X2. Much neater alteration.

To determine where the magazine follower should be stopped, load rounds and measure.
If you need to insert the magazine with the action closed, block the magazine for 5 1/2 rounds.
 
a bent coat hanger works to. bend in a "v" shape and trim down until it only holds 5. works for .223 and .308 ,but haven't tried on 7.62x39 "banana" clips.
 
Also depends on what milsurp you are talking about. All semi-auto's need to be 5 rounds except Garands (8rd enbloc). All of the Bolt actions can be as many rounds as the mag will hold.

In regards to the magazine types; bren, sten, fal, hi-power, M1 carbine. I may be misreading the regs, but if I put a blocking piece inside the mag, can the bottom plate still be removable?

Just a quick question.

If you have a rifle such as the Remington 7515 tactical(a pump action that accepts AR mags)

Can you un-pin a 5/30 round AR mag to use in this rifle?

Is the 5 round limit only for auto loading rifles? Or are pump actions also under the 5 round limit rule?

I don't own either, a AR or a rem 7515 but am considering buying a 7515 if you're aloud to get a NORMAL cap mag for them.

thanks!

1) Nope. The 7515 is decreed to use AR mags, which are 5 round limit or the AR pistol mags for a 10 round limit.

2) The rules are:

All semi-auto centerfire (shotguns and rifles) have a 5 round mag capacity limit. (aside from the Garand)
All manual action centerfire and all rimfire rifles have no mag capacity limits.
All pistols have a 10 round mag capacity limit.

The mag capacity limit is determined by what the mag was designed to be used in, which is why the AR can use pistol mags with a 10 round limit.

I'm sure remington makes 30 round mags designed for the 7515. would that be legal?

what if a person took a 20 round mag made for a semi auto ,which is pinned to 5 , and fit it to a bolt action .
can the pin limiting it to 5 be legally removed then ?

if not , what if the mag was modified to no longer be able to work in the original semiauto ?



just some thoughts floating around my head while i can't sleep , :)

If it is originally designed for and made for a semi-auto centrefire long gun, it will always be subject to the rule for semi-auto centrefire long guns, i.e. prohibited unless physically limited to five rounds maximum. Whether you use it in the semi-auto or in some bolt-action that it happens to fit or as a paperweight, that is the rule that applies.
