| I know it is illegal to modify a mag to accept more than ten rounds. Is it illegal to modify a mag (specifically a tubular mag on a lever action) to accept more than stock rounds but less then ten rounds? |

Quoted: Is it illegal to modify a mag (specifically a tubular mag on a lever action) to accept more than stock rounds but less then ten rounds? Definitely NOT illegal. Postban semi-auto shotguns with one evil feature have a tubular mag limit of 5. That's the only under-10 limit for tubular mags. -Troy |

It's illegal to modify any centerfire magazine to hold more than 10 rounds, now. You may modify any magazine which currently holds 10 or fewer rounds, to hold as many as ten rounds (with the exception that shotgun magazines are further controlled, depending on the configuration and operation of the shotgun), however. You may also modify or make an ATTACHED TUBULAR MAGAZINE FOR RIMFIRE AMMUNITION to hold more than ten rounds. "Attached tubular magazines for rimfire ammunition" are the sole general exception to the >10 capacity magazine ban enumerated in 18 USC 922(v). |

Quoted: Troy, You sure he's talking about shotguns or is he talking rifles? I know he's talking about rifles. I was pointing out that the only place in the law where tubular magazines were restricted to below 10 rounds was with semi-auto shotguns in certain configurations. Everything else, including his lever-action rifle, is fine at anything up to and including 10 rounds. -Troy |
