Bx25 x2

i believe when the bx25x2 came to canada the argument was they where the same bx25 just put together, hence prohibited.

to simplify;
owning a blue snail is illegal, but i hot glued 2 blue snails together so im sure thats fine now, ill just call them blue snails x2, problem solved!

so it dosnt really matter what the printing on the bx25x2 says as the they are composed of 2 prohibited items to make a new item.

at least that is how the legal people are looking at it.

They're not 2 mags glued together, the backs are one piece of molded plastic and can't be separated according to the literature and they don't mention Chargers anywhere on the package but they always have the "it doesn't have to make sense rule" to fall back on if they prohibit them.

yeah, if its not marketed for the charger, which is the only reason the BX25 is prohib and the BC25 is not, then the BX25x2 should be fine.

This is not accurate... the BX-25 packaging had "compatible with Ruger Charger pistol"... when the BX25X2 first came out, it also had "compatible with Ruger Charger pistol." Hence the prohibited status... changing the packaging now may be "too little, too late."

If I were a retailer, I would be very careful about selling these until the CFC/RCMP come out with a "new" bulletin.

Yeah, yeah... I know this is all ridiculous... this is what happens when beaurocrats make laws without input from actual experts.
 
I'm wondering how the legalities would hold up if court if one was charged with such an offense.
Given that if the guilty sot dint have an RPAL, nor a Charger in his possession.

you could have a RPAL and a Charger and it wouldn't matter, the mags aren't Restricted, they are Prohibited.

you and me both understand that they are not BX25 x2 glued together but the RCMP lab seems not to agree.
 
The Ruger 10 rounders and 25 rounders work more reliably than any of the after markets I've tried in my Ruger and Magnum Research 10/22's. The only thing that's come close is the Tactical Imports 25's with the adjustable set screws. The geometry of the original must be patent protected cause nobody's copies are close to the originals in appearance or fit and for me have had problems not seating or feeding reliably, especially in the "match" chamber of Mag Research model. The BX-25 works as well as the Ruger 10 rounder. A shame it also needs to be a 10 rounder

The bx-25x2 is prohibited, or just the bx25? Or both?
And I dont get how a store could get these mags in, if they are prohibited, would that not be extremely dificult to do?

No different then a pinned 30round AR15 mag, or pinned 17 round Glock mag, they need to be pinned before they come into Canada.
 
This is just the other side of the LAR 15 10 round pistol mags coin. The RCMP is pushing silly because they don't like the LAR's.
Funny thing is given enough time with the current situation and legal 10 round LAR's not causing any problems in society.... it's evidence that magazine restrictions do nothing to protect society from violence.

So pinned they are legal, gotcha!

Kinda seems silly though, Im willing to bet a pinned mag is very easy to unpin to make the magazine 25 rounds again, and illegal.

any 'end of day prepper' worth his salt will stock up on the higher capacity magazines that are pinned.
cause when the 'end of days comes' pop rivets take 2 seconds to grind off!
that just my way of looking at it.
plus i find the longer mags easier to get in and out of the guns.
and they look cooler.

as of right now the BX25 is Prohibited and the BX25x2 i dont think has itself been classified - if im not mistaken the RCMP lab just said that they are in essence a BX25 variant and there fore fall under the BX25 umbrella.

i may be mistaken but the last time i looked into this that is what i was told.
 
There use to be a huge kerfuffle on Chiquita bananas.
Buy Delmonte, nawt the Chiq's.
Pull the sticker awff them and they still look like bananas.
Just say'n izz awll.

i dont know, the BX01 work flawlessly in rugers while most other mags can and are problematic.
i ordered a BX25x2 to have a look and see if they truly are better and more like the BX01 mags.
ill let ya know.

Source?

The BX25-2 is showing up at a number of the LGS's in my area. When I inquired about them at one particular store the proprietor stated he called the RCMP directly and they said "good to go,no restrictions"
I am not stating the above quote as fact...just another bit of second hand info that seems to be the norm for these mysterious BX25x2 mags.

What I do know for a fact is that is upon inspection of the packaging nowhere does it state for use in a charger pistol,and that is good enough for me. I bought a couple to try and will throw them in my range bag along with my BC steel lips and TI 25 rounders.
If I receive a shakedown from the RCMP or I hear of the doors kicked-in and "prohibited" BX25x2's confiscated from any LGS's I will certainly report back in this thread.
