    It is better than a 10 round pistol mag but being a guy that had an AR15 before they were restricted and before stupid mag laws it doesn't excite me much more than a 10 round mag, full capacity mags would be a different story.

    This is def sad that we have to stuff wrong ammo to squeeze a couple extra rounds but I really think we shouldn't go around beating the drums about it...I know its no secret or anything illegal but we dont need busy bodies to find more things to "gasp" over.

    So, just to confirm- what is the absolute maximum amount of .223 you're able to cram into there?
    15 on a closed bolt.

    Yes, well... wishing and wanting won't make it so. Still a marked improvement from the situation as it was in 1991...

    No, it's *awesome*. It the people involved in drafting the legislation were actually competent we'd still be stuck at 5 rounds. There's nothing "illegal", and this isn't a "loophole" that can be closed off. We're simply availing ourselves of the laws as written. You don't voluntarily pay more income tax, do you?

    Who's kidding who here? Do you honestly think those in charge of all this nonsense can't conjure up a few words that would effectively counter the current wording? All of our laws are based on you just can't do certain things, and if you do and get caught you get to go to jail for a while. I think we should all let sleeping dogs lie before too much attention is drawn to this.

    Reloaders just want their ammo to go bang, Handloaders want all their rounds through the same hole.

    It has actually been a pretty good year for gun owners in Canada. We were freed of the LGR, have seen some exciting new imports, and:

    We're fixing the magazine issue ourselves it seems. Or, Armtac is.

    Those 50 beowulf magazines work, and work well. I used a USGI and a Polymer in this video:



    Here's looking forward to 2013

    Sir - KUDOs ! What a way to bring in the New Year with 15 bangs instead of only 10 !

    The RCMP would have to go back on their word. They've explicitly said this is okay to do.

    Count the shots in the second magazine of the helmet cam footage. That's as many as I can push. :D Pretty sure that was sixteen.

    You mean like the Walther 22 and Norinco bullpup rifles that were banned and confiscated after they were okay'd by the RCMP and sold in Canada, don't kid yourself. When the stupid laws started, OIC's ruled the day and firearms and mags were banned with no opposition.
