As a collector of older rifles I have a question for the group. [View all]

Many of my long arms are pre 1900 Winchesters ans Marlins, all lever actions. Many have 12-24 round tube magazines on them. These are 100+ year old rifles. The question I have is what happens to the tube magazine if there are restrictions to 10 round or less? Will I, and others be forced to cut the mags off, or disable the rifle?
