I bought a Marlin 1895 XLR in 45-70 that I will use for the new season. I put a dowel in the tubular mag so it's a single shot. After primitive season, the dowel comes right out.
I thought they were only allowing
breech loaded rifles patented prior to 1900
By putting the dowel in the magazine, it becomes a single-shot, breech loaded rifle. The design is 1895. This wasn't the intent of lawmakers when they wrote the bill, but it fits all elements of the law, so it's legal.
