Now 2 more NH Hunters

[jpattersonnh]

Since NH has a 5 round max on mags for hunters, I have had to sideline a few rifles. I just received 2- 5 round steel Cetme mags from Samco, $6.95 each. I also had bought a couple 5 round .223 AK mags since nothing was availible for 5.45. Guess what, they have the same follower as my Bulgarian 30 round 74 mags. I did not have to touch them at all for them to function. They only hold 4 rounds, but for coyotes or woodchucks that is enough.

I put a 30mm red dot on the AK74 and the Cetme has a Hensoldt Z24 on an HK stanlag mount. The Cetme is showing great groups w/ 110gr varmint bullets over H335 and BLC(2). I can handle 3200fps+.

NH has rules?

Intresting N.H. limits the capacity of a mag to five rounds other than a .22 rimfire.

Many states do. My hunting mags for the AR in 6.8 hold 5 rounds but won't latch on with a round in the chamber (bolt closed). This limits the rifle capacity to 5 rounds, not just the mag. Jack.

If you use a lever action in a pistol caliber, it is similar to the .22 rules. Again if it is a tube mag that can't be altered. My .44-40 holds 10, but I load 4 for hunting. Still legal.
