stug - I've been away hunting stags so I'm missing something here, so could you please enlighten me. What new legislation banning all centrefire semi -autos are you referring to? I've only seen reference to military style semi-autos or centrefire semi-autos that can be modified to take higher capacity mags than 5 cartridges. The hunting BAR can't accept a larger mag unless the rifle itself is extensively modified and even then I've never seen nor heard of a larger capacity mag being available for it.
