    As the title States I'm looking for a 5 round AR mag possibly two or three if somebody has them. I'd be willing to either trade a 30 round PMag straight across or do cash or maybe even 556 ammo

    I don't think I've ever seen a dedicated 5 rd AR mag. The 20 rd mags that came with my 86 Colt AR have some kind of blocks in them that only allow 5 rounds to be loaded. They can be removed for a full tank but I never have.

    If you would learn some trigger control instead of that spray and pray you wouldnt need to limit your mag size! lmao

    In FL centerfire can't have over 5 rounds for hunting. I've had 5 round AK mags for that purpose too.

    Somewhere I have seen Magpul magazine followers that turn a 10 round mag into a 5 rounder. I think they came in a pack of three

    I'm not sure but doesn't that mean you can hunt with a magazine that holds more than 5 rounds, you just need to not have more than 5 rounds loaded in the gun/magazine combo. My 30-30's hold 7 rounds with one loaded in the chamber, for the longest time I hunted with 7 oblivious to the law of 5. Once I realized you were only supposed to hunt with 5 I made the change. I personally think it's one of the more dumb laws on the books but it is what it is.

    Edit: My assumption was wrong, took me a while to find but found the statement below under Prohibited Methods for Taking Game in Florida.

    Centerfire semi-automatic rifles having magazine capacities of more than five rounds

    So am I illegal hunting with a 30-30, it's tubular magazine holds 6 rounds and I've never heard of plugging a 30-30?

    I believe your 30-30 would be a "lever-action", therefore you can legally hunt with it loaded with 7 rounds.
    However, using a "semi-auto" rifle, you would need to either "Block/Limit" the mag to hold no more than 5 rounds. Or use/buy a dedicated 5rd mag.
    If you have a 30rd mag that is not blocked, and it is only loaded with 5 rounds, If you get caught with it in the woods hunting, be prepared to receive a ticket for it.
    Same too if you have it in your pocket.

    From FWC site: #13 reads: Hunting with full automatic firearms, centerfire semi-automatic rifles having a magazine capable of holding more than 5 rounds, explosive or drug-injecting devices and set guns is prohibited.

    As you can see, the lever-action is not included in the above, only refers to semi-auto centerfires.

    In Florida . . . For hunting deer - - -> For a rifle mag that can be detached from the gun - - -> that mag can only hold 5 rds. It can be of higher capacity,however it must be permanently altered/limited to only hold 5 rds.
    For my AR's,both 5.56 and 308 sized, I use the MagPul brand of 10 shot mags,install a MagPul -5 limiter,then "permanently" alter the mags floor plate so that the release button cannot be pushed and/or the floorplate cannot be slid off.
    Using pistols for hunting deer,you can have a mag with as many shots as you want to. My Desert Eagle held 8 shots and my Glock 20 holds 15.
    In this pic are the 2 AR mags that I cut down to hold 5 shots only(two at top right) plus the 2 that I secured base to base(top 3rd from right). This was done to be able to hunt coyotes in Maine back in the late 80's. --- SAWMAN

    Only applies to semi-auto (or if folks are a liberal AUTOMATIC) rifles... I have a 10 round on my Steyr but it's a bolt and totally legal.

    I wonder about an AR pistol? I am sure you would really have to argue it or fight it in court but it is not a rifle? I rarely hunt so not really something I am too concerned about.
