looking at this another way, if m14 mags fit the AIA rifle , why doesn't a company sell 10 rnd m14 mags as AIA mags ?
maybe a new floor plate that says for the AIA rifle, and If it happens to fit an M14 will what a surprise!

That's begging for an RCMP no fun allowed visit.
Because they're designed and manufactured for both and would be 5 only. The magazine is differen't in 2 ways no guide rod hole and 2 the back notch is a little smaller and has a 45 degree angle on it. As for 20 rounds if you read the law it says a Lee Enfield rifle can't be over 10 rounds meaning since it's sort of the same rifle to bad so sad.Originally Posted by stuartr7

You do know that a bolt action can be as many rounds as you want right? The mag restrictions only apply to semi-autos.
I'm not sure if what you say is 100% correct. Example the Indian Ishapore 7.62 NATO calibre version of the Lee Enfield rifle. Apparently it can accept up to twelve rounds in the magazine and I've yet to hear of Canadian gun regulations connected to it's full capacity.
Canadian government runs on trans, gays and French speaking women. Let them fight the next war over there.
Myself i will crack a beer and merely watch.
I have not read that part of law that singles out some bolt action rifles for mag limits. Is this a new change? I would like to read this law...
It's not new it's in there because of the 25 round bren magazines that were also for the lee enfield so they put it in the law because people said well I'll just adapt my gun to fit it.

Former Prohibited Weapons Order, No. 9

Hope that clears this up.

The simple fact that you refer to it as a "Bren" mag should indicate that it was "designed for" an autoloading gun, not a bolter.
BTW, the Bren mag holds 30, but is recommended to hold 28.
