Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles ?Ruger American 350 Legend for Illinois Hunting - "0 Round Magazines"

One round, put it in the mag, charge the chamber. The mag holds one, dont drop the mag and reload until you shoot

It ain't about what you do. It's about what you could do. Having one in the chamber and a mag in place that could hold another doesn't meet how single shot is defined.

Get a single shot or a bolt and quit ffing with trying to turn a repeater into a single shot, or move.

Not how the regs read.

Ya, I got it, use to live there, good to hear they are opening up deer hunting to CF. But Illinois is one seriously ffed up state.

Seems simpler to just get a single shot than trying to come up with a workaround on a repeater

Buy an extra mag. Then modify it to be a zero rounder.

you only get this type of schitt regulations in states ran by DemocRATS...

Like Friggin Oregon, California and Washington for example.

If you put a bench rest follower in a magazine like I do my varmint rifles, for shooting sage rats...
its one round at a time. If someone can machine something like that ( if no one makes them, to include the factory)
then that would meet the requirement. I think I paid a little over $10 for the ones I have in my varmint rifles.

I've also seen detachable mags for the ARs in 223, that are the same set up as a bench rest follower...
but it isn't often you come across them, and hell if I remember the places I've seen them, when I came across them.
Figured they were some sort of training thing.

With my right handed, rotary magazine .308W Ruger American, to chamber a single round from the ejection port, I rotate the rifle 90 degrees counterclockwise so that the ejection port is straight up, drop in a cartridge and close the bolt. Magazine must be empty for this to work without jamming though.

SLEDs are great for AR-16 magazines.

If you can't do that, just slip off the floor plate and put a plug of wood in it. The plug should go inside the springs and contact the bottom of the follower. It's not hard.

Good stuff!! Thank you all. I have a lot of things to look through now.

I went to the local Scheels and they have 4 350 Legend Ruger Americans. I was able to see why loading from the port will be an issue.

Interesting that all the single shots that would be viable to use are gone!! Everybody is planning ahead.

And I am planning on moving from this political hell hole, but that is a few years away at this point until I retire ....

Exactly

You could dumb it down even further with a lever action. Buy a plug for the mag and go kill stuff.

I did that with my Henry BBS, made a plug by crimping the end of another tube shut.

Picked up a CVA Scout a couple months back, too. Figured better now than next year when they're likely to be unobtanium with the higher demand around here.
