Is a Mosin Nagant 10 round aftermarket mag legal?

[BladeTheThrower]

EDIT: YES! Yes it is! No limit on bolt action mags except if hunting. then you're only allowed 5.
(for anyone reading this in the future and wondering)

I saw a 10 round mag for the Archangel body kit that's made to take mags. It came with a 5 round mag yet they sell 10 rounders for it also.

Yes it's legal. Read the firearms act

I thought it just stated any older firearm designed to hold more than 5 in an internal magazine, clip or tube was exempt from the rule? I didn't see anything beyond that. Mosin's hold 5 rounds stock, don't they?

No limit on bolt action mags except if hunting only allowed 5. Rimfire no limits. Semi autos 5 unless using a pistol magazine that is marked as a pistol mag and it fits.

Thanks for clearing that up and refreshing me!

I totally had forgotten about the bolt action exemption.

Pretty sure the 5 round limit is only for hunting with semi-autos in Alberta, as far as hunting regs. go. Bolt actions aren't mentioned as far as limits.

Those 10 round Archangel mags can be finicky when it comes to feeding. They take some figuring out and fitment.

I have a trench magazine whipch allows 25 rounds for a 98k. Retailer sent it to me pinned at 5. Odd?

Manual repeating firearms are not limited by their designed magazine capacity as long as the magazine is not designed for or made for a semi auto or automatic longarm. Manual repeating Longarms or carbines can use handgun magazines designed for handguns as long as they are still limited to 10 rounds.

X 2 on this. LE's are gtg, why not a M/N?

I'm waiting for the 10 round howling raven magazine for the Mosin Nagant.

Nope. Alberta has no mag limits for hunting with bolts, pumps, or levers. 5 rounds is only for semi centre fires. 3 rounds total capacity for any shotgun while hunting migratory game birds is a federal law.

 

[crashcollins]

Yes, number of rounds for hunting varies by province. Read your provincial hunting regulations for any restrictions.

The rules in Ontario are the same as this also.
