What's the rules on mag capacity for non removable magazine like in a semi auto shotgun or a pump or a lever action rifle

I know for shotguns the limit is 3 when hunting I dont believe there is a limit when not hunting but dont take my word on it

6 for semi

 

no limit on anything else

 

Just to clarify... no limit for a weapon that is NOT semi-auto. Semi-auto rifles are limited to 15 rounds, even for fixed magazines.

so would a saiga 12 converted to a ak stock be legal? it would have 2 evil features at that poing...detachable mag and a pistol grip

Semi-auto shotguns can NOT have a pistol grip in NJ. Shotguns have different rules than rifles in NJ.

no.. AFAIK in NJ ALL guns have a 15 round MAX... shotguns then have different rules..

Only semi mags are restricted.

 

A semi-automatic shotgun with either a magazine capacity exceeding six rounds, a pistol grip, or a folding stock.
"Large capacity ammunition magazine" means a box, drum, tube or other container which is capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly therefrom into a semi-automatic firearm.

so wait you can have a level gun with whatever capacity you want?

 

did not know that..

 

According to the law yes. Theoretically, you can legally own a +15 round magazine provided it does not operate in any SA gun ever made. For example, some esoteric 50 round drum magazine for some WW2 FA only subgun in which a SA model was never made. Not worth the hassle, but would be legal.

But it is legal to have a tube fed lever or pump action .22.....with a tube that can hold more than 15 rounds...which is not hard to do if you are using shorts or a similar round..

............and he is already trying to develop a 100rd drum for the lever action gun he just decided to buy :icon_lol:

i still dont get the philosophy of a semi auto 6 round cap on shotguns

You will come to the same conclusion with many of NJ's gun laws.

Just picture what could be accomplished if the restrictions on shotguns were lifted

This gun makes me happier then any other gun I can think off.

 

 

 

But as far as the ak style shotgun I wanted to order one from red jacket but unfortunately yes they are illegal in nj.

[sarcasm]Yes. Everybody knows that if you have more than 6 shells loaded in a semi-automatic shotgun, you are 298,792,373,984,734 times more likely to go on a shooting spree.[/sarcasm]

So, if a pump shotgun took magazines you can theoretically get a 50 round drum or somthing like that?

There are 20 round "trench" mags that fit K98 mausers.....they would be legal since they do not fit any semi auto's ..... as far as I know.
