    BAR might have a different follower to activate last round bolt hold open? (Don't know much about them)

    I thought that the Browning might slip through because of its floorplate but the Remington Woodsmaster was definitely out.
    They obviously haven't tried shooting a bunch of rounds out of a 300 win mag semi to see how much of a preferred rifle for bad activity it isn't.
    Even if they compromised and let the bigger calibres out of the ban.
    So the pessimist in me just says that banning as many firearms as they can while they have the chance is what is on the agenda.
    OR its just the fact they are showing the world just how bloody awesome NZ is and how you do shit even though its rushed, screws people over it shouldn't and not only cause confusion because of rushed wordings but probably some public disobedience as well.
    The asshole in me says a bit of both.

    Yeah a mate has one of the older ones and doesn’t know whether it’s in or out?
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    The old Mark 1 BAR's were in the early days of venison recovery modified for larger mags, can't remember how they locked into the action but they were used. Haven't seen one for 40 plus years.

    Didn't say it was an easy conversion, but it was done. I know the top of the old mag was used but can't remember what mag it was welded to or how it was retained.

    What the antis don't realise is the precision required to make a magazine work reliably in a semi. Any modification is likely to make a semi into a very fiddly single shot...

    There is and was some very gifted, gunsmiths, fitters and turners, and good old Kiwi ingenuity out there that made most modifications and repairs in the firearm trade work, and there was the others who thought they could get it right.

    going by what the second round of legislation has in mind I would say not.
    All detachable mags will be verboten. I don't know if they realise how many there are out there including 303's but if so watch all the feckwits who went "never hunted with a semi-who needs one" and see how they like watching a normal hunting rifle get banned. magazine capacity in old style tube mag 22's are out too
    Then there might be a rark up

    No. No, it's not OK! But I'm willing to store it in my safe.

    You can ignore that one for now, as indicated by @ChrisW.
