I came across a British solution to their semi-auto rifle ban that will allow them to use something that resembles an AR-15, it is called the LR-223. Below is a link about it and video showing one in depth and in use.

My question is would such a rifle in NJ allow the use of high capacity mags? I don't think it is a good solution, just curious. It involves pushing a paddle and pulling the trigger, not just pulling the trigger. Thus my opinion is it can not be considered a semi-auto. The only issue then would be a NJ Legal high capacity mag would have to be proprietary for the LR-223 (not sure if it is). Curious what others think.

I think I'd rather have a lever action. Much easier to use rather than release the bolt after every shot IMO.

Please don't give the Dems any ideas! I agree with Griz, I would much rather have a pump or lever action.

As I said I don't think it is a good solution I was just curious as to the legality of one with say a 100 round magazine that only fits the LR-223. Also are there lever actions that can take large magazines?

The concept of the LR-223 is interesting in that IF there ever was a ban on Semi-Auto

rifles - this would be pretty cool way around that BUT the price tag is astronomical!

 

That LR-223 is $5600.00 +

Omar could have done just the same damage with the Remington 223 pump

This thread wasn't about mass shooting just about legality of a rifle in NJ

I have a Troy PAR pump action rifle. Uses AR magazines. Sweet rifle. Folding and adjustable stock. I put a smith vortex flash hider on it instead of the brake. All legal due to the pump action. I have been told by some that with a slight modification to the mag well and magazine that any capacity magazine would be legal in NJ. You have to make sure that the magazine will no longer fit into a semi auto. The capacity laws in NJ only apply to semi auto.

There are a few different versions of this rifle and a few different calibers. I have the .223/5.56.

I hear ya Capt, I was just mentioning it in the space of an AWB these fools think "that" weapon being gone would save lives.

Thank you for the clarification Kadayo. That's what I figured with a proprietary magazine it would be legal. Same a the 20 round trench mags for Mausers
