Ruger Charger Break Down

[farmerbob]

Now that this is available in Canada, pic below from a sponsor. Im after the stock in the second pic. Its restricted and classed as a pistol so I dont think that stock would be an issue but feel free to correct me

That is fine for a restricted pistol.

 

[farmerbob]

Thanks for the reply, I was pretty sure there was no issue with it.

Only issue is finding stock now

a little out of topic here but don't these take 10/22 mags ? seems like we gonna lose our high caps mags for the carbines :/

 

[farmerbob]

Good question, as its a range only gun 10 rounds is fine for me. Others my have different opinions though. I don't have a charger yet so I do not know what does and does not fit in it.

As the Charger is classed as a pistol the hi cap mags are clearly not allowed even though they are rimfire, again, feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Pretty sure this topic has been discussed to death on cgn though.

There are several threads on this board about the Ruger BX50 mags but I dont know much about them and haven't found a retailer in Canada that has them in stock.

Im just looking for a folding stock to use this at the range.

well if they do take the ruger 10-22 mags, it will do the same as the mossberg 715t that has a pistol variant (715p) so the high caps mags will turn prohib and we'll be stuck with the 10rounders... damn

Ruger Charger [factory chopped 10/22] pistols have already existed and been imported and sold as Registered Restricted firearms with their own entry in the FRT before. This did indeed cause some issues, famously with Ruger's BX-25 magazine, but has not led to across-the-board limitations on *all* 10/22 magazines (despite some Firearms Lab. technician's ill-conceived opinions).

As the Charger is classed as a pistol the hi cap mags are clearly not allowed even though they are rimfire, again, feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

You are permitted to attach and use any deemed legal magazine (to any deemed legal firearm). If you have a legal Butler Creek 25-er, even a GSG 110-er, it can be used with a Charger pistol.

The unique 15-round magazine that Ruger packages with it States-side is clearly over capacity per our Laws, and should be pinned at 10. At this point, I think Ruger is well on notice that they should carefully consider the marketing phrases they use on their magazines, lest they run afoul of Canadian Regulations.

You are wrong...

The restriction for use is determined by the "manufacturers intended use."

High capacity magazines that are "legal" for use in 10/22 rifles are also legal for use in Charger pistols in spite of the capacity restrictions for pistols, because the "intended" use is 10/22 rifles, and the restrictions follow the "intended use" pathway... this is the main draw of the Charger pistol for many shooters.

The stock is Butler Creek folder that (is usually) commonly available(and also used on rifles - I have one). The forend of it has been shortened to match the short barrel.

Thanks for the clarification.

Why the Charger a pistol and the Skorpion is a rifle? The latter would be a prohibited pistol in .32ACP.

Canada's gun laws... making less sense the longer I shoot!

I bought a cut-down Butler Creek stock like that from Hical a year or so ago for $50. I only needed the metal folder assembly, you can have the black plastic part if it is of any use to you.

ps: where did you buy the Charger?

Looking for the factory Ruger bipod for the Charger.

Please send Private Mail if you have one.

farmerbob, what is the benefit of using the takedown Charger with that stock? Are you planning on modifying the stock so that it separates flush with the front of the receiver? If not, why not just use the standard Charger?
