OK internet tough guy. Grab your 25 rounders, march down to the local RCMP detachment and wave them in their faces screaming "I'm not going to comply". If you don't, you are a hypocrite.

Or you can sell them to me

they have no issue with the 597. Remington owners rejoice!
And that's pretty much what some 10/22 owners said when the Mossberg 715 mag grab happened.

well - if remington releases a pistol that takes the same mags as the 597 then yes - and if they did no one could complain. The same loophole let's you use LAR mags in your AR. Clearly people want their cake and want to eat it too.
This will keep happening unless there is legislative change.

So, as the CSSF says -
1) DON"T USE THEM - right now
2) DON"T PIN THEM
3) DON"T TURN THEM IN
4) GET INVOLVED - whining on here about how something is unfair won't fix sh*t.
Some of what I've seen in this thread is absolute bullsh*t, it actually saddens me that after 20 years of this crap, people still walk around with their heads up their arses. If this is the level of understanding of the oddball nuances of the Firearms Act and how it's dealt with by both shooters and the police, we're screwed.

That's a good little sheep...
don't make waves, whatever you do, it's "un canadian" to make waves (submitting and whining are OK though) - so, alfalfa, or bluegrass?
I agree. Actually 21 years but who's counting?

Good point ; I was thinking that exact same thing myself...
Uhhm...
This 22lr mag issue is FAR from defined....not even law actually.
Bulletin shmulletin........
Most cops in the field haven't a clue about any of the firearms laws...much less this latest interpretationmorphedintobulletin silliness.
IF you are shooting responsibly and otherwise legally conducting yourself I wouldn't think the 1022 mag issue will even come up....altho 100rd drums are a bit of a heat score regardless of the law...just sayin.
At the end of the day its your neck and the consequences will be yours alone if they decide to make an issue of any firearms matters.
I've seen fellow shooters harassed for nonrestricted fireams being unlocked/no trigger locks etc during daylight hrs while in care/control of the shooter, seen regular non restricted rifles referred to as "machine guns", seen people challenged for their "registrations" for their long guns....THIS YR....and so on.
At the end of the day its a crap shoot....and the consequences all yours (ours)

I'm new, that I'll admit.
But the law couldn't be clearer. If the magazine can go in a semi-automatic pistol, it's limited to 10 rnds.
The intent is clear. Never more than 5 rounds in a CF rifle, never more than 10 rnds in any semi-automatic pistol. To enact that, the law defined the design of the magazine.
F'n sucks that Ruger released the POS Charger pistol, but they did. It's such bad gun from what I've heard, why not petition to have those banned from Canada so that all the 10+ rnd magazines for 10/22's can be legal?
Perhaps the gun associations could offer advice in how to re-write the law to make the intent and wording closely match. Lurking in the loopholes, whether pretending pop-rivets are effective magazine capacity limiters or using LAR magazines or having 100rnd AR magazines pinned to 5, could eventually lead to disaster.
It was a lucky thing for gun owners across Canada that Richard Bain was an incompetent and didn't check the function of his magazines before trying to kill as many people as possible. The first miracle is his incompetence, the second miracle is that the media and gun haters didn't focus on how ineffective and dangerous letting people have easily unpinned magazines is.
