Maximum Mag capacity NSW?

Post by targetshooter900 » 19 Oct 2019, 8:10 am

Hey fellas, anyone know the maximum mag capacity in NSW for CatB centrefires? I have seen some states have 30 round mags? Is NSW a maximum of 10rds or can you do 15? I have seen 15 rounders for sale in NSW. Firearms site isn’t really that clear

I believe it's fifteen for detachable mags in NSW, but an email to the Registry with get you the correct answer, or call a dealer.

Nope, a very quick search makes it ten rounds.

Unless its a tube mag on a rimfire. 22 then it can go to 15 L/R

I can't find any restriction of detachable CatA rimfire rifle mags to anything less than fifteen rounds, fixed mags have no capacity limit. Rimfire pistols are restricted to 10rds.
