"I don't want a pickle..."
It's not that I want a 20 round bolt-action rifle--I'm just trying to figure out what's considered "legal" in the case of the MVP.
I already have a number of 5 round mags for my M-14, and it would handy if I could legally use them in an MVP. In fact, my
reading of the act suggests that a bolt-action rifle whose magazine is specifically designed to accept more than five cartridges
is considered legal (e.g. the Lee-Enfield with its ten round mag). So, is the MPV's ten round mag pinned and limited to five
round capacity, or do we get the same ten rounder the Americans do? And if it's also designed to accept M-14 mags (in 7.62/.308) or M-16 mags (in 5.56/.223) does that mean it's OK to use my (five round) M-14 mags?
"...I just want my '14 mags to sickle!"
