One of the states we hunt allow 7.62×39 as a legal rifle caliber. Unfortunately they have a maximum capacity of 10 rounds.
This mag stays restricted full time. Thus it gets a permeant X to denote as such.
Those that hunt with an SKS don’t have an issue and frankly, those that use an AK don’t either since 10 round mags are easily obtained.

- AK Mag limiter.

- Limiter fits in VZ mags
My goto gun happens to be a Czech VZ58. And let me tell you, 10 round magazines are very hard to come by. Have to be purchased out of the country. And can be a bit on the pricey side.
User has to disassemble the mag to install block.
One option is to use a 30 rounder and load 10 rounds in it. But since I never want to be on the wrong side of the DNR, I found a cheap and simple solution.

- VZ58 ready to busy deer.
-
- SP ammo for legal hunting.
I picked up a 10 round mag block. It was, if my memory serves right, in the neighborhood of 10 bucks; and easy to install.
The mag block is designed for the AK47; but since the VZ mag internally is the same; it worked like a charm. In a nutshell, problem solved and I won’t have any issues with the DNR if they ever checked me.
Sincerely,
