Could be wrong but I'm almost certain that the belt is considered a magazine and would be limited to five rounds. I'm pretty sure that I heard somewhere that there is an exemption for original belts for collectables like the Broowning 1919 in semiautomatic but that you can't make a new belt for them.

However I thought that there is no limit on magazine quantity for manual action rifles?

That's true, assuming that the belt used isn't originally designed for a semiautomatic and repurposed for this thing.

Reading threads and posts like this hurt my fucking brain. Our gun rules read like electrical code except the AHJ can arrest you for how you interpreted the unclear rule.

If I am not mistaken belts are legal if they were made during or before 1945.

Also, fun fact, the M1919 uses .30-06. The belts are obviously made for .30-06. But, they are cloth. Cloth is kinda stretchy.

.30-06 casings are about 11.4mm in diameter. .44 is about 11.6mm. Thats only 0.2mm wider.

You legitimately might be able to use 250 round belts of .44 magnum.
