Hunting with an AR

[dirtyharry]

Are there any restrictions on having a fore grip on an AR while hunting? I was thinking of taking my AR with me this year, and wasn't sure if I needed to remove the grip I have on it.

[Roundballer]

No restriction about the grip, but there is a magazine restriction on auto-loaders.

Thanks for clarification on the grip. I was aware of the mag restriction already.

What caliber are you going with?

[Scandiacus]

I'll be hunting with an AR for the first time this year, too. Using Federal Fusion MSR 62gr jacketed soft points. I think they'll perform well on deer beneath 100 to 150 yards, although at my deer camp there are almost no sight lines stretching to 75 yards, let alone 100, so short range is the name of the game anyway.

Have you looked into Hornady tap 75gr?

[Moleman-]

My son had one of those angled grips on his ar15 the past 3 seasons. Always got in the way when in the treestand and took it off for this year. Good luck on you hunt.

Hornady tap 75gr is good for Deer hunting

order up a 5 rd mag and you are good to go. If thats not happening now in time or the local shop does not have one you gotta leave the big mags at home, just feed a single round in, and keep a couple in your pocket. You raaaarely see follow up shot, but for next year have that 5 rd magpul ready for hunting season.

As mentioned all the guys I know that hunt 5.56 use hornady.

Like you are doing under 100 its a fine gun. At 40 yards its great.

Put a block in the Mag.

Shot-gunner do it.

Never has an issue with the DNR.

Depends on what is being pursued.

1) Your response is just confusing the matter at hand
2) You don't separate what portion you are responding to
3) There are no restrictions on forward grips of any form for hunting, nor for any other activity by Michigan law. There is no reference to forward grips in MCL at all.
4) There are magazine restrictions for more than one species and specifically for deer

And from the OP, one can surmise that this is in reference to deer hunting by the date posted, deer season was what was coming up and the other seasons that would generally use a rifle are already open.

Just giving you a hard time. I was trying to do what you many times when you chime in. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

So a 10 round magazine with a 5 round limiter is legal? Permanent modification NOT required?

[Moleman-]

You can use any capacity magazine as long as it is blocked to hold 5 or less rounds. Doesn't have to be permanent, think about all of the shotguns out there with a wood or plastic rod inside of the magazine spring to limit the capacity to 3 shells total.

5 round mags are not to expensive, you can find em around $10 sometimes. I like C-Products with the orange follower. You can legally hunt with 6 rounds but the magazine can not hold more than 5, so full 5 round mag and one chambered.

Over Under is the best shotgun for hunting
