| I may come down to TN and do some feral hog hunting sometime this year. I was thinking of using my SKS for the task. I was wondering if there was a restriction in TN on the capacity of the magazine? Right now, my SKS is fitted with the standard 10 round fixed magazine. |

As far as I know, the only magazine limit is for hunting migratory fowl. Interesting point is that the above link states that SBR's are not legal for hunting, because SBR's are not legal in Tennessee. But SBR's are actually legal in Tennessee, if they have the proper NFA paperwork. |

That was changed last year, but not clarified in the page you linked. |

You can hunt with a suppressor also, but not a full-auto. So a suppressed SBR would be legal for hunting? Like I need another reason to push me toward taking the plunge into NFA. Sure, it's just $200 plus engraving to SBR one of my lowers, but then I'd have to have a .308 can, 9mm can, .22 can, .223 can, and might as well throw in a .45 can. That would be $1,200 in NFA taxes (plus the cost of the cans and engraving the lower), just because I gave in and SBR'd one lower. |

You can save money by getting certain cans that can be used on multiple platforms...i.e. a single YHM 762 QD can be used on 7.62x51, .300, and 5.56 for an example. |

A .308 can with 5/8x24 thread would covered my .300/221(300 Whisper), 6.8SPC and 7.62Tok uppers. A .223 can with 1/2x28 thread would cover my 5.56 and (when I get a barrel) .22 Reed Express uppers (hadn't thought about using a .308 can for those). A 9mm can with 9/16x24 thread would cover my 9mm and (if I can ever set aside the money for it) .338Spectre uppers. Due to leading with .22 rimfire, a separate .22 can (that can be taken apart for cleaning) would be the best option. So using the .308 can with an adapter for the 1/2x28 barrels would still leave $1,000 in NFA taxes, the cost of engraving a lower, and the cost of 4 cans.

At least it saved $200 that could be put towards ammo.

Yeah, but where am I going to find $200 worth of ammo to buy?

The YHM 762 QD can is able to be used on the 5.56mm just by using the 1/2x28 5.56mm FH. Then it just interchanges from the .308 can. The .308 FH can fit the multiple platforms including the Rem 700 if you have the barrel threaded. |

Definitely something to keep in mind, if my financial situation ever gets to the point that $200 tax payments don't bother me too much. |
