Thread: From E-Cat to A-Cat?

Why the hell did they settle on 7 rounds anyway? It's so incredibly inconvenient, almost nobody makes a 7 round mag. 10rd A-cat limit pleeeease.

7 rounds certainly made it impossible to keep your prized WW2/Korean War era M1 Garand in anywhere near original spec unlesss you had it on E-Cat.

Bayonet lug (since when did mass killers have a rifle bayonet as a key weapon of choice?) = gone
8 round mag/clip (whatever) = gone

Lol as if anyone going on a rampage is going to choose a 4 foot long rifle that weighs 12 pounds

Legally, you can use a magazine that looks like it can hold 10 rounds, it just can't physically hold more than 7 rounds.

Fraid not until the new legislation is clear anyway. The old rules stated "hold more than 7 rounds OR appears to hold more than 7 rounds"

Yes you're right. Thanks for clarifying.

So does that mean a marlin model 60 with tube mag will become e cat due to it having a tube mag that holds more than 10 rounds? I bloody well hope not.
