Mr Downey could've sunk just about every magazine for the 10/22 based on the CBSA 'test'.

I wasn't aware the Charger pistol was commonly available in Canada either, which is what CBSA states.

ah see, ya the RCMP tried to put the BX25x2 under the same umbrella as the BX25.

report described the goods in issue as similar to the Ruger BX-25 cartridge magazines, in that “[t]he design of the Ruger BX-25x2 magazine is based on two Ruger BX-25 magazines joined head to tail

interesting read, thanks for that!

Mr. Downey argued that the name of the goods in issue is misleading. He claimed that, while the name of the goods in issue, Ruger BX-25x2 cartridge magazines, sounds similar to the Ruger BX-25 cartridge magazine, it is not simply “two BX-25 magazines joined together [which] could be separated”.[12] In particular, he submitted that, while the cartridge magazines are manufactured by the same company, they have completely different designs and model numbers.[13]
While Mr. Downey conceded that the goods in issue contain 50 rounds,[14] he argued that the goods in issue were not explicitly listed as being able to function with a semi-automatic handgun. He argued that the CBSA incorrectly relied on the description listed on Cabelas.com for its reference and submitted that the Web site, Brownells.com, from which he purchased the goods in issue lists the goods as being compatible with the .22LR Ruger, 77/22 Rifle, 10/22 Rifle, SR-22Rifle, and Ruger American Rimfire Rifle only.[15] As a result, Mr. Downey argued that the goods in issue should not be classified as prohibited devices under the Criminal Code and the Firearms Regulations.

in the end the court said they are Prohibited.

so i guess the rumor mill was right.

For the foregoing reasons, the Tribunal finds that the goods in issue are cartridge magazines, prescribed to be prohibited devices under tariff item No. 9898.00.00.

so than the question comes up, does the government care enough to try to chase down the probably 1 million Ruger 10/22 mags that have been sold in the last 40 years that hold 15-110 rounds just because there are 364 Charger Pistols in Canada?

In this respect, the Tribunal finds that the CBSA’s evidence that there are 364 such pistols registered in Canada

Seems pretty clear to me.




GOODS IN ISSUE

The goods in issue are 3 identical Ruger BX-25x2 cartridge magazines, each designed to hold 50 rounds.[7]


Conclusion

For the foregoing reasons, the Tribunal finds that the goods in issue are cartridge magazines, prescribed to be prohibited devices under tariff item No. 9898.00.00.

I assume you mean moot point, or you're telling everyone to shut up. HAHA.

A CBSA tribunal decision isn't the same as a Supreme Court of Canada decision. Unfortunately, that is exactly where this decision needs to go to deal with it once and for all. That being said, I could see ALL 10+ mags being prohibited if and when it makes it that far.
 
yeah moot, or mute, as in it would appear they're not going to be hearing or listening further to the arguments currently being put forth

So where can I order the bx25-2 ;)

You can order them from Marstar. I was an idiot and placed an order. Then I read later on the site that they are pinned. Of course they are, because of REASONS. I was able to cancel the order.
Nothing against Marstar. Their info was clear, I mis-read it and thought I'd found unicorns.
 
mine arrived yesterday, got them out to the range today.
nice mags!
shame they are pinned but they run flawlessly in my rugers and actually fit in my 2 new ones (the butler creek and TI ones dont).
Marstar did a really good job of the pinning too, not a butcher job like some places do.
you can still take the mags apart to clean them.

I have to ask. Why on earth would you want A BX25-2 pinned to 10 each side when you can get perfectly good Ruger 10 rounders and get the baseplate (http://www.brownells.com/magazines/.../10-22-trimag-magazine-coupler-prod32500.aspx) that holds 3 together for 30 rounds in your gun for around the same money. Heck, you can get the TandemKross back to back 10 rounders for way less which are smaller and still hold 20 rounds and are just as reliable as stock Ruger 10 rounders. https://www.tandemkross.com/Double-...or-the-Ruger-1022-Rotary-Magazines_p_226.html I realize to each their own but this one leaves me baffled.
