Ohio has a three round limit in rifles and shotguns.
I have a Rossi Rio Grande 45-70. It has a full length magazine tube. It has a band around the forestock with a small screw the goes through a small notch in the magazine tube. Then it has a forward barrel band.
If I decided to convert it to a short magazine what would I need to do. I get cutting the tube and moving the cap, and shortening the spring, but am worried that the one small screw would not hold under recoil. Looking at pictures of short magazine rifles there seems to be some kind of attachment at the end of the magazine tube.
