Yes I get your point of not wanting a bad apple spoile the bunch but come on!

So by your saying all the guy's with ar's, tavor, t97..... using ar pistol mag ar douing something illegal and should be shunned for there disservice to the what 20 guys that actually own ar pistols?

The law is 100% clear and its what the mag is designed to work in not what it happens to work in by coincidence.

Careful with that.

IIRC there has been more than one court case on this very subject and they ended up with the person doing time for leaving their firearms unattended in a vech for as little as 3 hours and not following storage regs.

Interesting. Do you have any links or sources I could check out for that? In the PAL course, (in Ontario anyway), there is a video provided by the CFO that states NRs merely need to be unloaded, out of sight and in a locked part of the vehicle, if left unattended in that vehicle. There is no indication of any time restrictions. They even state that the listed conditions must be met especially if one is going hunting and there are additional firearms and ammunition left inside the vehicle; but then, that is why I said in the end it would likely depend on the opinions of lawyers and a judge.

Dear B,

This email is being sent to you because a problem has developed with your order.

In May of 2014 the RCMP had informed Northern Republic Magazine Inc. that magazines for Lee-Enfield variants not using the traditional .303 British magazine did not require a capacity restriction. However, in June of 2014, the RCMP has notified Northern Republic Magazine Inc. that they view the AIA Enfield magazine as a "Dual use" magazine with the M14 rifle, meaning that the capacity rules for semiautomatic rifle magazines should apply.

However, the RCMP have indicated that Section 84 of the Criminal Code of Canada's states that rather than the typical five (5) round limit for semiautomatic rifles, a permissible capacity of ten (10) rounds for the Lee-Enfield rifle applies to the AIA Enfield rifle instead of the five (5) rounds typically associated with magazines that can be used in a semi-automatic firearm.

Northern Republic Magazine Inc. had originally planned to bring the AIA Enfield magazine chambered in .308 Win into Canada with a ten (10) round limit, however the confusion with the RCMP prompted Northern Republic Magazine Inc. to change their marketing to promote an unblocked magazine. We understand that you may have made your purchase of an AIA Enfield magazine with the understanding that there was no capacity restriction on the magazine. However, in order to facilitate the legal import of the AIA magazines in Canada, all magazines with capacity over ten (10) rounds will again be manufactured with a ten (10) cartridge limit in place.

Should you chose to cancel your order, no penalties will be incurred and a full refund issued.

got the email too, goddamn BS. I was so excited about these mags. They need to go eat a costco size bag of dicks.


So i guess RCMP do come and read CGN after all, otherwise they wouldn't know about it being able to fit M14 as well
 
Crap , this is really depressing news . I haven't received the email yet .. I also sold of 6 of my 20/5 round ones to help pay for these .
That said 10 round mags are still better than 5 round mags.
 
I'm not surprised at this. Technically the AIA rifle is based of a Lee Enfield, hence the 10 round limit. Let's be happy that they didn't consider it "designed for a semi automatic". I'm going to keep my order.
 
:mad: Well I just received the same email...and as I said 10 rounds is still better than 5 but it sure is a disappointment .
 
NR, can you confirm how the magazines will be limited to 10? Rivet, block/pillar, or native 10/10 body size?

I ask because I hate rivets, if they are to be 10 shot capacity I would prefer them to have a short body.
