Make sure the mag will only hold 4 rds, not 5 like my friend did to his old mil-surp rifle.
The game warden wrote him up because you could load 5 in the mag and 1 in the chamber.
He custom made a hardwood block to fit inside the mag spring.
Your friend should have challenged this. The regulations say "Semi automatic rifles with a magazine capacity of greater than 5 cartridges prohibited (except for western gray squirrel)".
This is a direct quote from every synopsis I've ever read. (I just looked it up in the 2015 version for proper wording and punctuation)
This is Oregon regs. Other states likely vary.
