5rd on a Open Chamber rear locked BCG.

Here in FLA 5rd cap for Semi Auto Centerfire Rifle while hunting WMA’s. So if U run ur gun dry/open 5rd will seat but no go on closed Chamber/Bolt forward only 4 do to magazine follwer can not depress any further down from height of Limiter. Nothing says u cant Arts n Crafts 3/8-1/2” of polymer to possibly allow the mag follower to sit lower and accommodate 5th rd. There a 3pk so a 2 pack n a practice broadhead 😉. Don’t hate Magpul hate your State capacity laws

An inexpensive insurance policy

Will always allow 5 rounds in magazine, but sometimes will not allow Magazine to be seat and you have to remove one for magazine to seat. If it only allows 4 rounds, chamber one and then top off magazine. Either way you can keep rifle legal when hunting weather 3 or 5 rounds in local area.
