Yes, everything is possible... but this poster, doesnt have a firearm, and is trying to give 'us' the impression that he/she know nothing about guns... do you get them at a gunshop??
Doesnt pass the sniff test especially the part about the mags....
If it wasnt so suss, I would have suggested seeking specific advice 'offline'.... and/or making application from the authority under the firearms act to possess and use a high capacity mag. But given that the poster's naivety suggests a teen who's just finished school and is bored, or a snooping/fishing LEO.... I dont see the point.
As far as nothing's banned; thats how it is; we have licensing categories (and therefore licensing) for most everything, even auto rifles and auto handguns. You can own them under 'normal' cat A/B licences.
Most rifles have a detachable mag limits of 10 or 15 rounds (no limit for fixed/internal).... but there is always provision to seek a variation to this.
I would say there are many thousands of semi-auto rifles around the country(cat D), that survived the great firearms purge of '96...even auto(cat E). It was said that back 'in the day' a certain importer brought in container loads of semi autos including M1Carbs.... one shipment were (unknowingly) autos

.... I wonder how many were handed in...
